One Haqb in Hell for each missed Salaat.

[Sachaa Muslim]

 

One Haqb in Hell for each missed Salaat

 

 

The Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) is reported to have said, "A person neglecting his salaat (even though he makes it up later) shall remain in Hell for a period of one Haqb. A Haqb is equal to eighty years of three hundred and sixty days each, and a day in the Hereafter shall equal one thousand years of this world."

 

Abul Laith Samarqandi (Rahmatullah alaih) is responsible or the hadith in which the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) is reported to have said, "The name of a person who neglects even a single fardh salaat intentionally is written on the gate of the Hell, which he must enter."

 

Hadhrat Ibn Abbas (Radhiyallaho anho) narrates that .once the Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) said, "Pray, 0 Allah! cause not any one of us to be a wretched destitute.'? He then said: "Do you know who is a wretched destitute?" At the'request of the companions, he explained to them saying, "A wretched destitute is he who neglects his salaat. In Islaam there is nothing for him." In another hadith it is said, "Allah will not care a bit for the person who has been neglecting salaat intentionally, and for him shall be an awful doom."

 

It is reported in a hadith that ten persons will be specially tormented, and one of them will be the person who neglects his salaat. It is said that his hands will be tied while the angels shall smite him on his face and back. Paradise will tell him, 'In me there is no room for you,' and Hell will say to him, 'Come to me. You are for me and I am for you.' It is also reported that there is a valley in Hell named Lamlam. This valley is infested with serpents as fat as the neck of a camel and as long as one month's journey. A person neglecting salaat shall be tormented in this valley.In another hadith, it is reported that there is a vale in the Hell. which is krlown as the Pit of Grief; it is infested with scorpions of the size of a mule. This place is also meant for tormenting the people who neglect salaat. Of course, there is nothing to worry if the most merciful Allah pardons the sins. But are we really prepared to ask for His pardon?

 

 

Ibn Hajar writes, "A woman died. Her brother was present at her burial. By chance his purse fell into the grave and was buried with the dead body. The brother realized this after he had returned home and was very sorry for the loss. He decided to dig up the grave secretly and take out the purse. When he dug it up, he saw that the pit was in flames. He returned home, stricken with grief, and related the story to his mother, and inquired if she knew why it was so. The mother informed him that his sister used to delay in salaat and offered it after its fixed hours." May Allah save us from these habits!
