Sunan an-Nasa'i 466
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ زِيَادِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ - قَالَ كَتَبَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ عَنْهُ - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْعَوَّامِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يُحَاسَبُ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَلاَتُهُ فَإِنْ وُجِدَتْ تَامَّةً كُتِبَتْ تَامَّةً وَإِنْ كَانَ انْتَقَصَ مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ قَالَ انْظُرُوا هَلْ تَجِدُونَ لَهُ مِنْ تَطَوُّعٍ يُكَمِّلُ لَهُ مَا ضَيَّعَ مِنْ فَرِيضَةٍ مِنْ تَطَوُّعِهِ ثُمَّ سَائِرُ الأَعْمَالِ تَجْرِي عَلَى حَسَبِ ذَلِكَ " .
Abu Dawud informed us; he said: Shu‘ayb—that is, Ibn Ziyad ibn Maymun—narrated to us. He said: ‘Ali ibn al-Madini wrote this from him: “Abu al-‘Awwam informed us,” from Qatadah, from al-Hasan, from Abu Rafi‘, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The first thing for which a servant will be called to account on the Day of Resurrection is his prayer. If it is found complete, it will be recorded as complete. If anything is lacking from it, He will say: ‘See whether you can find any voluntary prayers for him, so that what he neglected of an obligatory prayer may be completed from his voluntary prayers.’ Then the rest of his deeds will be treated accordingly.”
Translation notes
The chain’s wording around ‘Ali ibn al-Madini is rendered close to the Arabic: it says he wrote from Shu‘ayb, followed by the report from Abu al-‘Awwam. The source’s concluding note that Abu al-‘Awwam differed appears in the preceding block, not this one.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ،
The English witness omits the isnad and the note identifying Shu‘ayb.
Confirm the chain and the relation of ‘Ali ibn al-Madini’s written transmission against the Arabic source.
