Which is given priority in the reckoning: the right of Allah or the right of the created being?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Which is given priority in the reckoning: the right of Allah or the right of the created being on the Day of Resurrection? I mean, is the prayer given priority in the reckoning, or...?

The Shaykh : The right of Allah. It appears that the right of Allah is given priority. For this reason, it is specified:
The first matter concerning which scores will be settled among the people will be bloodshed أول ما يقضى بين الناس في الدماء
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3996Sahih (Darussalam)
, and regarding the prayer, it is said:
The first thing a servant is held accountable for is his prayer. أول ما يحاسب عليه العبد صلاته
.

The questioner : What supports this is the statement regarding the prayer:
If it is sound, the rest of his deeds will be sound. فإن صلحت صلح سائر عمله
, meaning, does this clarify it?

The Shaykh : It may clarify it, and there is a possibility, meaning, but we see that the first thing a servant is held accountable for in acts of worship is... yes.
