Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I am asking about a hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) Sunan an-Nasa'i 474Sahih (Darussalam) Could it also come here?
The Shaykh : Yes, but the scholars differed greatly in interpreting the nullification of deeds in this hadith, to the extent that we do not see a basis for preferring one opinion over another. In other words, does it encompass all good deeds he performed since he reached the age of accountability? Or does it refer only to the nullification of his deeds on that day? And Allah knows best where the truth lies.
Whoever abandons Salat Al-'Asr, his good deeds will perish.
من ترك صلاة العصر فقد حبط عملهThe Shaykh : Yes, but the scholars differed greatly in interpreting the nullification of deeds in this hadith, to the extent that we do not see a basis for preferring one opinion over another. In other words, does it encompass all good deeds he performed since he reached the age of accountability? Or does it refer only to the nullification of his deeds on that day? And Allah knows best where the truth lies.
