Hadith 9, 40 Hadith Qudsi
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يُحَاسَبُ بِهِ الْعَبْدُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ صَلَاتُهُ. فَإِنْ صَلُحَتْ فَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ وَأَنْجَحَ، وَإِنْ فَسَدَتْ فَقَدْ خَابَ وَخَسِرَ، فَإِنْ انْتَقَصَ مِنْ فَرِيضَتِهِ شَيْءٌ، قَالَ الرَّبُّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: انْظُرُوا هَلْ لِعَبْدِي مِنْ تَطَوُّعٍ فَيُكَمَّلَ بِهَا مَا انْتَقَصَ مِنْ الْفَرِيضَةِ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ سَائِرُ عَمَلِهِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ". رواه الترمذي(1) وكذلك أبو داود والنسائي وابن ماجه وأحمد

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:
‘The first of a servant’s deeds for which he will be called to account on the Day of Resurrection is his prayer. If it is sound, he has prospered and succeeded; but if it is corrupt, he has failed and lost. If anything is lacking from his obligatory prayer, the Lord, Might and Majesty belong to Him, will say, “See whether My servant has any voluntary prayers with which to complete what is lacking from his obligatory prayer.” Then the rest of his deeds will be treated in the same way.’
It was related by al-Tirmidhi (and likewise by Abu Dawud, al-Nasa’i, Ibn Majah, and Ahmad).

The Arabic citation line includes a marker (1) after al-Tirmidhi but no corresponding footnote text in this block. The English witness supplies no matching note.
Can the marked reference note be recovered from a source edition, or is this an orphan marker in the Arabic capture?
