Hadith on Salat: Guarding prayer is light, proof, and salvation

Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned the prayer one day and he said, “Whoever preserves the prayers, they will be his light, proof, and salvation on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever does not preserve them will not have proof, nor light, nor salvation, and on the Day of Resurrection, he will be alongside Qarun, Haman, Pharaoh, and Ubayy ibn Khalaf.

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ حَافَظَ عَلَيْهَا يعني الصَّلَاةَ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا وَبُرْهَانًا وَنَجَاةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُحَافِظْ عَلَيْهَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بُرْهَانٌ وَلَا نُورٌ وَلَا نَجَاةٌ وَكَانَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَعَ قَارُونَ وَهَامَانَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَأُبَيِّ بْنِ خَلَفٍ
