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)

البخاري:٥٧٣حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ قَالَ

لِي جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ نَظَرَ إِلَى الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذَا لاَ تُضَامُّونَ أَوْ لاَ تُضَاهُونَ فِي رُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ لاَ تُغْلَبُوا عَلَى صَلاَةٍ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا فَافْعَلُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا

Praying Fajr and Asr in the masjid earns Jannah

bukhari:574Hudbah b. Khālid > Hammām > Abū Jamrah > Abū Bakr b. Abū Mūsá from his father

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever performs the two prayers of the cool times (Fajr and ʿAsr) will enter Paradise.”

Ibn Rajā’ said: Hammām narrated to us from Abū Jamrah that Abū Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Qays informed him of this. Ishāq narrated to us from Ḥabbān: Hammām narrated to us; Abū Jamrah narrated to us from Abū Bakr ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ, something similar.

البخاري:٥٧٤حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَنْ صَلَّى الْبَرْدَيْنِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ»

وَقَالَ ابْنُ رَجَاءٍ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَمْرَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ بِهَذَا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ عَنْ حَبَّانَ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ
