[Machine] I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, who is a Muslim?" He replied, "A Muslim is someone who is free and an enslaved person." I then asked, "Is there a moment that is closer to Allah the Most High than another?" He said, "The depths of the last part of the night. Pray what seems easy for you until you pray the Fajr prayer, then refrain from praying until the sun rises and it is as if it is a shield, until it spreads out. Then, pray what seems easy for you until the pillar is up on its shadow. Then, refrain from praying until the sun sets, as Hellfire is kindled for half of the day. Then, pray what seems easy for you until you pray the Asr prayer, then refrain from praying until the sun goes down, as it sets between the horns of Satan. When a person performs ablution and washes his hands, his sins fall off from between his hands. When he washes his face, his sins fall off from his face. When he washes his arms and wipes his head, his sins fall off from between his arms and head. When he washes his feet, his sins fall off from his feet. Then, when he stands for prayer and his heart and his face or his entire self are facing Allah, he turns away as he was born from his mother." They asked him, "Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah?" He said, "If I hadn't heard it once, twice, ten or twenty times, I wouldn't have mentioned it."
