[Machine] Malik, and that is an opinion.  

مَالِكٌ وَذَلِكَ رَأَيٌ  

Messenger of Allah said: "Salatul-Wusta is the Asr prayer." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 181)   

صَلَاةُ الْوُسْطَى صَلَاةُ الْفَجْرِ  

[Machine] A man in front of us saw the whiteness of his armpits. After he completed the prayer, he faced us with his face and said, "This is the prayer that Allah mentioned in his book: 'And establish prayer and give zakah and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience]'" (Quran 2:43). And so it is.  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لَرَأَى بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةُ الَّتِي ذَكَرَهَا اللهُ ﷻ فِي كِتَابِهِ {حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ} [البقرة 238] وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] "Do not include the prompt answer."  

اللهُ ﷻ فِيهَا {وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ} [البقرة 238]  

[Machine] By it, he argued.  

بِهِ احْتَجَّ  

'Aishah commanded me to write for her come passage from the Qur'an. She also added: When you reach the following verse, inform me: "Be guardian of your prayers and of the midmost prayer" (2:238). When I reached it, I informed her. She asked me to write: "Be guardians of your prayers, and of the midmost prayer, and of the 'Asr prayer, and stand up with devotion of Allah" (2:238). 'Aishah then said: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 410)   

إِذَا بَلَغَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فَآذِنِّي {حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى} [البقرة 238] فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُهَا آذَنْتُهَا فَأَمْلَتْ عَلَيَّ حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ وَقُومُوا للَّهِ قَانِتِينَ وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

'Aishah commanded me to write for her come passage from the Qur'an. She also added: When you reach the following verse, inform me: "Be guardian of your prayers and of the midmost prayer" (2:238). When I reached it, I informed her. She asked me to write: "Be guardians of your prayers, and of the midmost prayer, and of the 'Asr prayer, and stand up with devotion of Allah" (2:238). 'Aishah then said: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 410)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَكْتُبُ مُصْحَفًا لِحَفْصَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِذَا بَلَغْتَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فَآذِنِّي {حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى} [البقرة 238] فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُهَا آذَنْتُهَا فَأَمْلَتْ عَلَيَّ حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ  

[Machine] "For the one who writes, when you come across the mention of prayer, leave its place until I teach you what I have heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite. So he did and wrote: 'Safeguard the prayers, the middle prayer, and the afternoon prayer.' Nafi' said, 'I saw the letter "waw" hanging, and this is connected except that it has sending from Nafi'.' Then he confirmed it with what he had been informed, and the hadith of Zaid bin Aslam from Amr al-Katib is connected, and even if it is suspended, it is a witness to the authenticity of the narration of Ubaydullah bin Umar from Nafi' and indeed."  

لِلَّذِي يَكْتُبُ إِذَا أَتَيْتَ عَلَى ذِكْرِ الصَّلَاةِ فَذَرْ مَوْضِعَهَا حَتَّى أُعَلِّمَكَ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهْ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فَفَعَلَ فَكَتَبَ حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَرَأَيْتُ الْوَاوَ مُعَلَّقَةَ وَهَذَا مُسْنَدٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ فِيهِ إِرْسَالًا مِنْ جِهَةِ نَافِعٍ ثُمَّ أَكَّدَهُ بِمَا أَخْبَرَ عَنْ رُؤْيَتِهِ وَحَدِيثِ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَمْرٍو الْكَاتِبِ مَوْصُولٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَوْقُوفًا فَهُوَ شَاهِدٌ لِصِحَّةِ رِوَايَةِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ وَقَدْ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say that the angels of the night and the angels of the day gather at the Fajr prayer. Then Abu Hurayrah said, "Read if you wish: 'And recite the Qur'an at Fajr. Verily, the recitation of Fajr is witnessed.'" This is mentioned in Sahihain from the Hadith of Abu Al-Yaman.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَجْتَمِعُ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّيْلِ وَمَلَائِكَةُ النَّهَارِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ اقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ {وَقُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كَانَ مَشْهُودًا} [الإسراء 78] مُخَرَّجٌ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الْيَمَانِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:Whoever prays ʿIshaʿ in congregation, it will be like spending half the night in prayer (qiyam) and whoever prays ʿIshaʿ and Fajr in congregation, it will be like spending the whole night in prayer.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 491)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ كَانَ كَقِيَامِ نِصْفِ لَيْلَةٍ وَمَنْ صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ كَانَ كَقِيَامِ لَيْلَةٍ أُخْرَى  

[Machine] "About the Prophet ﷺ , he said: Whoever prays Fajr (the dawn prayer) is under the protection of Allah the Almighty. So, beware O son of Adam, that Allah does not ask you about anything from His protection."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فَهُوَ فِي ذِمَّةِ اللهِ ﷻ فَانْظُرْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَا يَطْلُبَنَّكَ اللهُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ ذِمَّتِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever performs the morning prayer, he is under the protection of Allah, so Allah does not ask you for anything from his protection. Indeed, whoever asks Him for something, He grants it to him and saves him from the fire of Hell."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ فَهُوَ فِي ذِمَّةِ اللهِ فَلَا يَطْلُبَنَّكُمُ اللهُ مِنْ ذِمَّتِهِ بِشَيْءٍ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَطْلُبُهُ بِشَيْءٍ يُدْرِكُهُ فَيَكُبَّهُ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ  

We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a full moon night. He looked at the moon and said, "You will certainly see your Lord as you see this moon, and there will be no trouble in seeing Him. So if you can avoid missing (through sleep, business, etc.) a prayer before the rising of the sun (Fajr) and before its setting (ʿAsr) you must do so. He (the Prophet ﷺ ) then recited the following verse: And celebrate the praises Of Your Lord before The rising of the sun And before (its) setting." (50.39) (Using translation from Bukhārī 573)   

قَالَ لِي جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ نَظَرَ إِلَى الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذَا لَا تُضَامُونَ وَلَا تُضَاهُونَ فِي رَؤْيَتِهِ وَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ لَا تُغْلَبُوا عَلَى صَلَاةٍ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا فَافْعَلُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ {فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِ}  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The angels take turns among you, with angels present during the day and angels present during the night. They gather during the Fajr prayer and the Asr prayer. Then those who stayed with you ascend to their Lord, and He asks them, although He knows best about them, 'How did you leave My servants?' They reply, 'We left them while they were praying and we came to them while they were praying.'"

Then Abu al-Hasan al-Alawi told us, Abu Hamed Ahmed ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan Al-Hafiz told us, Muhammad ibn Aqil told us, Hafs ibn Abdullah told us, Ibrahim ibn Tahman told us, Musa ibn Uqbah informed me, Abu al-Zinad informed me, from al-Araj, from Abu Hurairah, that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, and he mentioned the same thing.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَتَعَاقَبُونَ فِيكُمْ مَلَائِكَةٌ بِاللَّيْلِ وَمَلَائِكَةٌ بِالنَّهَارِ يَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ الَّذِينَ بَاتُوا فِيكُمْ فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ كَيْفَ تَرَكْتُمْ عِبَادِي قَالُوا تَرَكْنَاهُمْ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَأَتَيْنَاهُمْ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ 2183 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْعَلَوِيُّ أنا أَبُو حَامِدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَقِيلٍ ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ  

He who observed two prayers at two cool (hours) would enter Paradise. (Using translation from Muslim 635a)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى الْبَرْدَيْنِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever prays the two Adhans (call to prayer) will enter Paradise."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ صَلَّى الْبَرْدَيْنِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever prays the Burdayn (Fajr and 'Asr prayers) enters Paradise." Abu Shuayb said, "Some of the grammarians say it is the morning and evening." Abu Bakr said, "This is said to be Abu Bakr ibn 'Umarah ibn Ruwaybah." The sheikh said, "The one who... [translation incomplete]  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ صَلَّى الْبَرْدَيْنِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ بَعْضُ النَّحْوِيِّينَ غُدْوَةً وَعَشِيًّا قَالَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ هَذَا يُقَالُ إِنَّهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ رُوَيْبَةَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ الَّذِي  

He who said prayer before the rising of the sun and its setting would not enter the fire (of Hell), and there was a man from Basra (sitting) beside him who said: Did you hear it from the Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him)? He said: Yes, I bear witness to it. The man from Basra said: I bear witness that I did hear from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying it from the place that you heard from him. (Using translation from Muslim 634b)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَلِجِ النَّارَ مَنْ صَلَّى قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَشْهَدُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ بِالْمَكَانِ الَّذِي سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me, among other things, that he said: "Preserve the five daily prayers." I said, "These are hours during which I am occupied, so give me a comprehensive order that I may fulfill it." He said, "Preserve the two prayers of Al-Asr (the afternoon) and Al-Isha (the night)." I asked, "What are Al-Asr and Al-Isha?" He said, "It is the prayer before the rising of the sun and the prayer before its setting." This narration is mentioned by Al-Qattan. The sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said as if he intended, and Allah knows best, to preserve them at the start of their times and excused him for the excessive work that led to delaying them from their initial times. So he ordered him to observe these two prayers by performing them at the beginning of their times, with the help of Allah.  

عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ فِيمَا عَلَّمَنِي أَنْ قَالَ حَافِظْ عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ قُلْتُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ سَاعَاتٌ لِي فِيهَا أَشْغَالٌ فَمُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ جَامِعٍ إِذَا أَنَا فَعَلْتُهُ أَجْزَأَ عَنِّي قَالَ حَافِظْ عَلَى الْعَصْرَيْنِ وَمَا كَانَتْ مِنْ لُغَتِنَا قُلْتُ وَمَا الْعَصْرَانِ؟ قَالَ صَلَاةٌ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَصَلَاةٌ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الْقَطَّانِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَكَأَنَّهُ أَرَادَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ حَافِظْ عَلَيْهِنَّ فِي أَوَائِلِ أَوْقَاتِهِنَّ فَاعْتَذَرَ بَالْأَشْغَالِ الْمُفْضِيَةِ إِلَى تَأْخِيرِهَا عَنْ أَوَائِلِ أَوْقَاتِهِنَّ فَأَمَرَهُ بِالْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى هَاتَيْنِ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ بِتَعْجِيلِهِمَا فِي أَوَائِلِ وَقْتَيْهِمَا وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ
