Sahaba who was rewarded by jannah without performing the salat

Who was the sahaba who was awarded by the jannah but hadn't recited any of his salat ?

Answer:

Assalamu alaikum,

In Islamic sources, sahaba (companion of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)) who had acquired the status of martyrdom without even having had the time to perform a single ritual prayer after embracing Islam is "Yasir" peace be upon him. The short story of his becoming Muslim and shaheed right after that is as follows:

While the siege on some of the forts of Khaibar continued, the slave of one of the Khaybar Jews, an African shepherd, came to Prophet Muhammad and obtaining information about Islam, became Muslim and decided to participate in the battle alongside the Muslims. At this point, with the consciousness of the sheep that he was herding constituting a trust that had been given to him, he asked the Prophet what he should do with the sheep. Stating that Islam enjoined fulfilling trusts, Prophet Muhammad commanded him to herd the sheep towards the citadel of their owner and release them. The shepherd whose name is recorded as Yasir in the sources did as the Prophet commanded and, upon ensuring that the sheep had entered the citadel, returned to join the Muslims. He was martyred a short time later. Prophet Muhammad approached the martyr and informed his Companions that he was one of the people of Paradise. As such, the shepherd who had acquired the status of martyrdom without even having had the time to perform a single ritual prayer after embracing Islam became etched in memories as the answer to the question asked among the Companions: “Who is the person to enter Paradise without having performed a single prayer?”
