عن جندب بن عبد الله رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «مَنْ صَلَّى صلاةَ الصُّبْحِ فهو في ذِمَّةِ اللهِ فلا يَطْلُبَنَّكُمُ اللهُ مِنْ ذِمَّتِهِ بِشَيْءٍ، فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَطْلُبْهُ مِنْ ذِمَّتِهِ بِشَيْءٍ يُدْرِكْهُ، ثُمَّ يَكُبُّهُ على وَجْهِهِ في نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ».
[صحيح] - [رواه مسلم]
المزيــد ...

Jundub ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever performs the Fajr prayer is under the protection of Allah, so none of you should harm the one under the protection of Allah in any way, for whoever does that will be definitely overtaken by the wrath of Allah and will then be thrown on his face in Hellfire."
Sahih/Authentic. - [Muslim]

Explanation

Whoever performs the Fajr prayer enters under the protection of Allah, as if he has entered into a covenant with Allah that no one will harm him. It is unlawful then to harm such a person, because harming him will be considered transgression against Allah, and a violation of the protection that Allah has granted this person. Whoever breaks the covenant of Allah and transgresses against Him exposes himself to His wrath, and Allah will retaliate against him for harming someone who is under His protection.
