أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ کَمْ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَی عِبَادِهِ مِنْ الصَّلَوَاتِ قَالَ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَی عِبَادِهِ صَلَوَاتٍ خَمْسًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ قَبْلَهُنَّ أَوْ بَعْدَهُنَّ شَيْئًا قَالَ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَی عِبَادِهِ صَلَوَاتٍ خَمْسًا فَحَلَفَ الرَّجُلُ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنْ صَدَقَ لَيَدْخُلَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 462
It was narrated that Anas said: “A man asked the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, how many prayers has Allah enjoined upon His slaves?’ He said: ‘Allah has enjoined upon His slaves (five) prayers.’ He said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, is there anything before them or after them?’ He said: ‘Allah has enjoined upon His slaves (five) prayers.’ The man swore that he would not do anything more or less than that. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘If he is speaking the truth he will most certainly enter Paradise.” (Sahih)
