1138. Caution Against Taking THE PRAYER LIGHTLY

3644.الإمامُ الباقرُ عليه السلام : لا تَتَهاوَنْ بصلاتِكَ؛ فإنّ النبيَّ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله قالَ عندَ مَوتِهِ : لَيسَ مِنّي مَنِ استَخَفَّ بِصلاتِهِ .¹

3644.Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘Do not neglect your prayer, for verily the Prophet (SAWA) said while he was on his death bed, ‘The one who takes his prayer lightly is not of me.’²

3645.مستدرك الوسائل عن أبي بصيرٍ : دَخَلتُ على‏ حُمَيدَةَ اُعَزِّيها بأبي عبدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام فَبَكَت ثمّ قالَت : يا أبا محمّدٍ ، لو شَهِدتَهُ حينَ حَضَرَهُ الموتُ وقد قَبَضَ إحدى‏ عَينَيهِ ثُمّ قالَ : اُدعُوا لي قَرابَتي ومَن يَطُفَ‏³ بي، فلمّا اجتَمَعُوا حَولَهُ قالَ : إنَّ شَفاعَتَنا لَن تَنالَ مُستَخِفّاً بِالصَّلاةِ .⁴

3645. Abu Basir narrated, ‘I went to Humayda, to condole her for the death of Abu Abdillah (AS) [i.e. Imam al- Sadiq], so she cried and said, ‘O Abu Muhammad, if you saw him as death came upon him, he placed his hand over one eye and said, ‘Call my relatives and my friends to come to me.’ When everyone had gathered around him, he said, ‘Verily our intercession will not avail one who takes his prayer lightly.’⁵
