7ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ لاَ تَتَهَاوَنْ بِصَلاَتِكَ فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ لَيْسَ مِنِّي مَنِ اسْتَخَفَّ بِصَلاَتِهِ لَيْسَ مِنِّي مَنْ شَرِبَ مُسْكِراً لاَ يَرِدُ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ لاَ وَالله.

Published English translation

7. It is a narration from him (narrator of previous Hadith) by his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘You must not consider your Salah (prayer) insignificant; the Holy Prophet said when he was about to pass away, “Those who consider their Salah (prayer) insignificant are not of my people, as well as those who drink intoxicating liquor. They will not be able to come to me at the pond of al-Kawthar, no by Allah (they will not be able to do so).””’
