Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The narration in reference is mentioned by Shaykh Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhlawi (rahimahullah) in Faza’il e A‘mal.

The translation is as follows:

Some people say that it is mentioned in a hadith that Allah bestows five favours on a person who is mindful of his salaat, viz: His daily bread is made easy for him; he is saved from the punishments in the grave; he shall receive his record in his right hand on the Day of Judgement; he shall cross the Siraat with the speed of lightning and he shall enter Paradise without reckoning.

(Virtues of Salaat, 40)

While we have not found any hadith with this exact wording, the meaning of the narration may be supported from other ahadith.

And Allah Ta‘ālā Knows Best.
