Those who observe their duties regarding them, and are careful of their timings, will meet Allah on the day of Judgement with a covenant that will enter them into heaven. Whoever does not observe their duties regarding them, and are not careful regarding their timings, will meet Allah and have no covenant. If Allah wishes, He will punish them or forgive them.'" صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (15/11))
