Riyad as-Salihin, 1049
Jundub bin Sufyan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who offers the dawn (Fajr) prayers will come under the Protection of Allah. O son of Adam! Beware, lest Allah should call you to account in any respect from (for withdrawing) His Protection." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن جندب بن سفيان رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:
من صلى الصبح فهو في ذمة الله فانظر يابن آدم، لا يطلبنك الله من ذمته بشيء
. ((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) The Fajr prayer is like a key for the prayers of the day; rather, for all the deeds of the day.<br>
2) The Fajr prayer has a special merit: Whoever offers it is in the protection and care of Allah Almighty.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Words in the Hadith:</b><br>
“Lest Allah calls you to account for being absent from His protection”: Do not do something evil or bad, like failing to perform the Fajr prayer in congregation, and thus Allah will call you to account for the covenant (of protection) He has given you.
