حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَوَّامُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الصَّلَاةُ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا، كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُمَا "، قَالَ: " وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ، وَالشَّهْرُ إِلَى الشَّهْرِ - يَعْنِي رَمَضَانَ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ - كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُمَا "، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ: " إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ - قَالَ: فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ لِأَمْرٍ (١) حَدَثَ -: إِلَّا مِنَ الْإِشْرَاكِ بِاللهِ، وَنَكْثِ الصَّفْقَةِ، وَتَرْكِ السُّنَّةِ " قَالَ: " أَمَّا نَكْثُ الصَّفْقَةِ: أَنْ تُبَايِعَ رَجُلًا ثُمَّ تُخَالِفَ إِلَيْهِ تُقَاتِلُهُ بِسَيْفِكَ، وَأَمَّا تَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَمَّا الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللهِ فَقَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ، فَمَا نَكْثُ الصَّفْقَةِ؟ قَالَ: " فَأَنْ تُبَايِعَ رَجُلًا ثُمَّ تُخَالِفَ إِلَيْهِ تُقَاتِلَهُ بِسَيْفِكَ، وَأَمَّا تَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ (٢) فَالْخُرُوجُ مِنَ الْجَمَاعَةِ " (٣)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "An obligatory prayer is an expiation for the sins committed between it and the next prayer; similarly, one Friday (prayer) is an expiation for the sins committed until the next Friday, and one month (Ramadan) is an expiation for the sins committed until the next month (Ramadan)." After that, he said: "Except for three sins." I understood that the Prophet (ﷺ) said this sentence for a specific reason. (In any case! The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:) Except for associating partners with Allah, breaking a covenant, and abandoning the Sunnah. I asked: O Messenger of Allah! We understand what associating partners with Allah means, but what is meant by breaking a covenant? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Breaking a covenant means that you pledge allegiance to someone, then you prepare to oppose him and take up the sword to fight him. And abandoning the Sunnah means leaving the community of Muslims."
