If they are found complete, then it is fine; otherwise, it will be said: See if he has any reserve of voluntary prayers?

Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, every statement has a reality. What is the reality of your statement?" He (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon you)! Have I not restrained myself from the world? I kept myself awake at night and kept myself thirsty during the intense heat of the day. It is as if I am seeing the people of Paradise, that they are conversing with one another in Paradise, and it is as if I am seeing the people of Hell, that they are crying out in Hell." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have recognized (the truth)," or he said, "You have believed, so hold fast to it."

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Surely, every statement has a reality; what is the reality of your faith? He, may Allah be pleased with him, replied: I began my morning in such a state that my soul has turned away from the world, so I kept myself awake at night and kept myself thirsty during the day. It is as if I am looking at the Throne of my Lord, that it has appeared for reckoning. And it is as if I am looking at the people of Paradise, that they are conversing with one another in Paradise, and it is as if I am hearing the cries and screams of the people of Hell. The narrator says, then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: This is a servant whose heart has been filled with the light of faith. If you have recognized this, then hold fast to it.

The narrator says: Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) became so angry that I wished I had not asked him. Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When you meet those people, inform them that indeed Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is free from them, and they are free from me. Then he said: If you wish, shall I narrate to you a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? I said: Yes! Then he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then a man came, wearing clean clothes, with a pleasant fragrance and a beautiful face. He said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! What is the reality of Islam? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is that you establish prayer, give zakat, fast in Ramadan, perform Hajj to the House of Allah, and perform ghusl (ritual bath) from major impurity.
