A man said to him: "Why don't you go out and fight?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAW] say: 'Islam is built on five (pillars): Testimony that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, establishing Salah, giving Zakah, Hajj, and fasting Ramadan.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5001)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «بُنِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ وَإِيتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ وَصَوْمِ رَمَضَانَ وَحَجِّ الْبَيْتِ»  

"A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: 'O Messenger of Allah, how many prayers has Allah enjoined upon His slaves?' He said: 'Allah has enjoined upon His slaves (five) prayers.' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, is there anything before them or after them?' He said: 'Allah has enjoined upon His salves (five) prayers.' The man swore that he would not do anything more or less than that. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'If he is speaking the truth he will most certainly enter Paradise.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 459)   

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَمِ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ «خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ» قَالَ هَلْ قَبْلَهُنَّ أَوْ بَعْدَهُنَّ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ «افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ» فَقَالَ هَلْ قَبْلَهُنَّ أَوْ بَعْدَهُنَّ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ «افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ» قَالَ فَحَلَفَ الرَّجُلُ بِاللَّهِ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَلَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْهُنَّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنْ صَدَقَ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ»  

[Machine] Narrated to us Al-Qa'nabi from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz once delayed the prayer in his leadership. Urwah ibn Zubair entered upon him and informed him that Mu'ghirah ibn Shu'bah also delayed the prayer while he was in Kufa. Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari then entered upon him and said, "O Mu'ghirah, what is this? Did you not know that Gabrielﷺ descended and performed the prayer, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the prayer?" Then he said, "By this I was commanded." Abu Mas'ud said, "I know what you are talking about, O Urwah. Or indeed, Gabriel established the prayer for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at the time of prayer." He said, "That was how Bashir ibn Abi Mas'ud used to narrate from his father."  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ أَخَّرَ الصَّلَاةَ يَوْمًا فِي إِمْرَتِهِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ أَخَّرَ الصَّلَاةَ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ بِالْكُوفَةِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا مُغِيرَةُ مَا هَذَا؟ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ «أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «بِهَذَا أُمِرْتُ» قَالَ أَعْلَمُ مَا تُحَدِّثُ يَا عُرْوَةُ أَوْ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ أَقَامَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقْتَ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ بَشِيرُ بْنُ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ  

that he said to ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar: "Indeed, we find the prayer of the resident and the prayer of fear in the Quran, but we do not find the prayer of travel in the Quran?" So ʿAbdullāh said to him: "O son of my brother, indeed Allah sent Muhammad ﷺ to us and we do not know anything, so we only do as we have seen him do."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ إِنَّا نَجْدُ صَلَاةَ الْحَضَرِ وَصَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَلَا نَجْدُ صَلَاةَ السَّفَرِ فِي الْقُرْآنِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ «يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْنَا مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ شَيْئًا فَإِنَّمَا نَفْعَلُ كَمَا رَأَيْنَاهُ يَفْعَلُ»  

"We were with Sa'eed bin Al-'Asi in Tabaristan, and Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman was with us. He said: 'Which of you offered the fear prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' Hudhaifah said: 'I did.' So Hudhaifah stood and the people formed two rows behind him, one row behind him and one row facing the enemy. He led those who were behind him in praying one rak'ah, then they went and took the place of the others, and the others came and he led them in praying one rak'ah, and they did not make it up." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1530)  

أَيُّكُمْ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْخَوْفِ؟ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ أَنَا قَالَ فَقَامَ حُذَيْفَةُ «فَصَفَّ النَّاسَ خَلْفَهُ صِفِّينَ صَفًّا خَلْفَهُ وَصَفًّا مُوَازِيًا لِلْعَدُوِّ فَصَلَّى بِالَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ هَؤُلَاءِ مَكَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ وَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً وَلَمْ يَقْضُوا»  

He was sitting on the cushions of 'Umar bin 'Abdul-'Aziz when he was the leader over Al-Madinah, and with him was 'Urwah bin Zubair. "umar delayed 'Asr somewhat, and 'Urwah said to him: "Jibril came down and led the Messenger of Allah in prayer." 'Umar said to him: "Know what you are saying, O 'Urwah!" he said: "I heard Bashir bin Abu Mas'ud saying, 'I heard Abu Mas'ud saying, "I heard the Messenger of Allah saying, 'Jibril came down and led me in prayer, and I prayed with him, then I prayed with him, then I prayed with him, then I prayed with him, then I prayed with him,' and he counted five prayers on his fingers." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 668)  

لَهُ عُرْوَةُ أَمَا إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى أَمَامَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَعْلَمُ مَا تَقُولُ يَا عُرْوَةُ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ بَشِيرَ بْنَ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «نَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ فَصَلَّى فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ» فَحَسَبَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Jibreel (Gabriel) came down and informed me of the prayer time, so I prayed with him. Then I prayed with him again, and again, and again, and again." He counted with his fingers five prayers. "And I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying the Dhuhr (noon) prayer when the sun passes its zenith, and sometimes he would delay it until the heat becomes intense. And I saw him praying the Asr (afternoon) prayer when the sun is still high and white before it turns yellow. Then a man would finish his prayer and come to Dhul-Hulayfah (a place) before the sunset and pray the Maghrib (evening) prayer when the sun sets. And he would pray the Isha (night) prayer when the horizon becomes dark, and sometimes he would delay it until people gather. And he would pray the Fajr (dawn) prayer once with twilight and then again with the full light, and thereafter he would pray it with full light until he passed away. He did not miss praying with full light again."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «نَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ فَأَخْبَرَنِي بِوَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ» فَحَسَبَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ «وَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ وَرُبَّمَا أَخَّرَهَا حِينَ يَشْتَدُّ الْحَرُّ وَرَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَهَا الصُّفْرَةُ فَيَنْصَرِفُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَيَأْتِي ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ وَيُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ تَسْقُطُ الشَّمْسُ وَيُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ حِينَ يَسْوَدُّ الْأُفُقُ وَرُبَّمَا أَخَّرَهُ حَتَّى يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ وَصَلَّى الصُّبْحَ مَرَّةً بِغَلَسٍ وَصَلَّى مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَأَسْفَرَ بِهَا ثُمَّ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِالْغَلَسِ حَتَّى مَاتَ ﷺ لَمْ يَعُدْ إِلَى أَنْ يُسْفِرَ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'There is nothing between a person and disbelief except abandoning Salah.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 464)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيْسَ بَيْنَ الْعَبْدِ وَبَيْنَ الْكُفْرِ إِلَّا تَرْكُ الصَّلَاةِ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘The covenant that distinguishes between us and them is prayer; so whoever leaves it, he has committed Kufr.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1079)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ الْعَهْدَ الَّذِي بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمُ الصَّلَاةُ فَمَنْ تَرَكَهَا فَقَدْ كَفَرَ»  

[Machine] This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to act when he was surprised by a journey or an expedient matter.  

«هَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَفْعَلُ إِذَا جَدَّ بِهِ السَّيْرُ أَوْ حَزَبَهُ أَمَرٌ»  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to combine two prayers on a journey, he delayed the noon prayer till came the early time of the afternoon prayer, and then combined the two. (Using translation from Muslim 704b)  

«كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ فِي السَّفَرِ أَخَّرَ الظُّهْرَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ أَوَّلُ وَقْتِ الْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَهُمَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ordered a dome made of hair, but it was struck by lightning. So the Messenger of Allah proceeded, and the Quraysh had no doubts that he was standing at the sacred place of Muzdalifah, just as the Quraysh used to do during the period of ignorance. The Messenger of Allah continued until he reached Arafat, where he found the dome had been struck by lightning. He alighted from his ride and stayed there until the sun started to decline. Then he ordered for the shearing of his hair, and it was shaved for him. He then came to the bottom of the valley and addressed the people, saying, "Verily, your lives and wealth are sacred to you like the sacredness of this day and month in this land. Behold! Every matter pertaining to the period of ignorance is under my feet. The blood money of the period of ignorance is abolished and the first blood money I abolish is that belonging to the son of Rabi'ah bin Al-Harith who was suckled among Banu Laith and killed by Hudhail. Beware of Allah regarding the women, for you have taken them under the security of Allah and intercourse with them has become lawful to you by the words of Allah. And upon them is your obligation that they must not allow anyone whom you dislike to enter your houses. But if they do that, then chastise them with a non-injurious chastisement. On them is the provision and clothing according to what is reasonable. I have left among you that which will never lead you astray, the Book of Allah, and you will be asked about me. What will you say?" They replied, "We bear witness that you have conveyed and fulfilled the trusts." He then raised his index finger towards the sky and passed it over the people, saying thrice, "O Allah, bear witness!" Then he called for the Adhan and Iqamah and observed the prayer of Dhuhr, and then he observed the prayer of Asr, without observing any nafl prayer in between them.  

أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقُبَّةٍ مِنْ شَعْرٍ فَضُرِبَتْ لَهُ بِنَمِرَةَ فَسَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَا تَشُكُّ قُرَيْشٌ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ الْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَا كَانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ تَصْنَعُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَجَازَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى أَتَى عَرَفَةَ فَوَجَدَ الْقُبَّةَ قَدْ ضُرِبَتْ لَهُ بِنَمِرَةَ فَنَزَلَ بِهَا حَتَّى إِذَا زَاغَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَمَرَ بِالْقَصْوَاءِ فَرُحِلَتْ لَهُ فَأَتَى بَطْنَ الْوَادِي فَخَطَبَ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ حَرَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا أَلَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ مَوْضُوعٌ وَدِمَاءُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مَوْضُوعَةٌ وَأَنَّ أَوَّلَ دَمٍ أَضَعُ مِنْ دِمَائِنَا دَمُ ابْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ كَانَ مُسْتَرْضَعًا فِي بَنِي لَيْثٍ فَقَتَلَتْهُ هُذَيْلٌ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي النِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّكُمْ أَخَذْتُمُوهُنَّ بِأَمَانِ اللَّهِ وَاسْتَحْلَلْتُمْ فُرُوجَهُنَّ بِكَلِمَةِ اللَّهِ وَلَكُمْ عَلَيْهِنَّ أَنْ لَا يُوطِئْنَ فُرُشَكُمْ أَحَدًا تَكْرَهُونَهُ فَإِنْ فَعَلْنَ ذَلِكَ فَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ ضَرْبًا غَيْرَ مُبَرِّحٍ وَلَهُنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ رِزْقُهُنَّ وَكِسْوَتُهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَقَدْ تَرَكْتُ فِيكُمْ مَا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ إِنِ اعْتَصَمْتُمْ بِهِ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَأَنْتُمْ تُسْأَلُونَ عَنِّي فَمَا أَنْتُمْ قَائِلُونَ؟ » قَالُوا نَشْهَدُ أَنْ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ فَأَدَّيْتَ وَنَصَحْتَ فَقَالَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ السَّبَّابَةِ يَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَيَنْكُتُهَا إِلَى النَّاسِ «اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ بَيْنَهُمَا شَيْئًا  

The Prophet ﷺ was engaged in the Battle of Tabuk. If he moved off before the sun had declined, he would delay the noon prayer till he would combine it with the afternoon prayer and would offer them together. If he moved off after the sun had declined, he would combine the noon and afternoon prayers, and then he proceeded; if he moved off before the evening prayer, he would delay the evening prayer; he would offer it along with the night prayer, he would delay the evening prayer; he would offer it along with the night prayer. If he moved off after the evening prayer, he would offer the night prayer earlier and offer it along with the evening prayer. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has not been narrated by anyone except by Qutaibah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1220)   

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَكَانَ إِذَا ارْتَحَلَ قَبْلَ زَيْغِ الشَّمْسِ أَخَّرَ الظُّهْرَ حَتَّى يَجْمَعَهَا إِلَى الْعَصْرِ فَيُصَلِّيهِمَا جَمِيعًا وَإِذَا ارْتَحَلَ بَعْدَ زَيْغِ الشَّمْسِ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ سَارَ وَكَانَ إِذَا ارْتَحَلَ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ أَخَّرَ الْمَغْرِبَ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا مَعَ الْعِشَاءِ وَإِذَا ارْتَحَلَ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ عَجَّلَ الْعِشَاءَ وَصَلَّاهَا مَعَ الْمَغْرِبِ»  

[Machine] We got married with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night and we did not wake up until the sun called us. Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "Let every man among you take his mount and move away from this place." Then he called for water and performed ablution, then he prostrated twice, and then the prayer was established.  

عَرَّسْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَلَمْ نَسْتَيْقِظْ حَتَّى آذَتْنَا الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لِيَأْخُذْ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ رَاحِلَتَهُ ثُمَّ يَتَنَحَّى عَنْ هَذَا الْمَنْزِلِ» ثُمَّ دَعَا بِالْمَاءِ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'There is no negligence when one sleeps, rather negligence is when one does not offer one prayer until the time of the next prayer comes and he realizes that he has missed a prayer.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 616)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيْسَ فِي النَّوْمِ تَفْرِيطٌ إِنَّمَا التَّفْرِيطُ عَلَى مَنْ لَمْ يُصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى يَجِيءَ وَقْتُ صَلَاةٍ أُخْرَى»  

[Machine] We traveled with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and when it was late at night, we became tired. Our eyes became heavy, and we were only awakened by the heat of the sun. A man stood up to relieve himself, astonished. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded them to perform ablution, and then he instructed Bilal to call the Adhan. They prayed the two Rak'ahs of Fajr, and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and led them in offering the Fajr prayer. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, did we miss it? Shall we make it up at its proper time tomorrow?" He replied, "Does your Lord prevent you from repaying a debt and accept it from you? Rather, losing sleep is what is meant."  

سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ عَرَّسْنَا فَغَلَبَتْنَا أَعْيُنُنَا وَمَا أَيْقَظَنَا إِلَّا حَرُّ الشَّمْسِ فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَقُومُ إِلَى وَضُوئِهِ دَهِشًا فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَتَوَضَّأُوا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَذَّنَ ثُمَّ صَلُّوا رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الْفَجْرَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَرَّطْنَا أَفَلَا نُعِيدُهَا لِوَقْتِهَا مِنَ الْغَدِ؟ فَقَالَ «يَنْهَاكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ عَنِ الرِّبَا وَيَقْبَلُهُ مِنْكُمْ؟ إِنَّمَا التَّفْرِيطُ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ»  

[Machine] On the day when the parties left, Allah's Messenger ﷺ called out among them: "Behold, nobody among you should offer the Zhuhr prayer but at Banu Qurayzah." Some people, therefore, remained behind and feared missing the prayer time, so they performed the prayer. Others said we will only pray where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us and if the prayer time is missed, Allah's Messenger ﷺ did not force anyone from either group.  

اللَّهِ ﷺ نَادَى فِيهِمْ يَوْمَ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُمُ الْأَحْزَابُ «أَلَا لَا يُصَلِّيَنَّ أَحَدٌ الظُّهْر َ إِلَّا فِي بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ» فَأَبْطَأَ نَاسٌ فَتَخَوَّفُوا فَوْتَ وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ فَصَلُّوا وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ لَا نُصَلِّي إِلَّا حَيْثُ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَإِنْ فَاتَ الْوَقْتُ فَمَا عَنَّفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاحِدًا مِنَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "Hasten to perform the prayer on a cloudy day, for whoever abandons the prayer has indeed committed disbelief."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «بَكِّرُوا بِالصَّلَاةِ فِي يَوْمِ الْغَيْمِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ تَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ»  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "Disputing in the Qur'an is disbelief."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْمِرَاءُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ كُفْرٌ»  

[Machine] I heard Abu Hurairah while he was in the house of Umm Darda saying, "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, 'There are three acts of disbelief against Allah: tearing one's clothes, wailing, and slandering one's lineage.'"  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ثَلَاثٌ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ بِاللَّهِ شَقُّ الْجَيْبِ وَالنِّيَاحَةُ وَالطَّعْنُ فِي النَّسَبِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Do not show aversion towards your fathers, for whoever shows aversion towards his father has indeed disbelieved."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا تَرْغَبُوا عَنْ آبَائِكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he mentioned prayer one day and said, "Whoever preserves it, it will be a light, evidence, and salvation for him on the Day of Judgment. And whoever does not preserve it, he will have neither evidence, nor light, nor salvation, and he will be with Qarun, Haman, Pharaoh, and Ubayy ibn Khalaf on the Day of Resurrection."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ الصَّلَاةَ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ «مَنْ حَافَظَ عَلَيْهَا كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا وَبُرْهَانًا وَنَجَاةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُحَافِظْ عَلَيْهَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بُرْهَانٌ وَلَا نُورٌ وَلَا نَجَاةٌ وَكَانَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَعَ قَارُونَ وَهَامَانَ وَفِرْعَوْنَ وَأُبَيِّ بْنِ خَلَفٍ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever misses the prayer, it is as if he has lost his family and wealth."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ فَاتَتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ فَكَأَنَّمَا وُتِرَ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ»  

The Messenger of Allah said: "The one who misses the 'Asr prayer, it is as if he has been cheated out of his family and wealth." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 685)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الَّذِي تَفُوتُهُ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ فَكَأَنَّمَا وُتِرَ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Hasten to perform the Asr prayer on a cloudy day, for whoever neglects the Asr prayer, his deeds will be in vain."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «بَكِّرُوا بِصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ يَوْمَ الْغَيْمِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ تَرَكَ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in praying 'Asr in Al-Mukhammas. He said: 'This prayer was enjoined upon those who came before you, but they neglected it. Whoever prays it regularly will have a two-fold reward, and there is no prayer after it until the Shahid appears." And the Shahid is "the star." [1] [1] This is a statement of one of the narrators, and Allah knows best. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 521)   

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَضَيَّعُوهَا وَتَرَكُوهَا فَمَنْ صَلَّاهَا مِنْكُمْ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا ضِعْفَيْنِ وَلَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى يَرَى الشَّاهِدَ» وَالشَّاهِدُ النَّجْمُ  

"Jibril, peace be upon him, came to the Prophet ﷺ when the sun had passed its zenith and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad, and pray Zuhr when the sun has passed its zenith.' Then he waited until a man's shadow was equal to his height. Then he came to him for 'Asr and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad, and pray 'Asr.' Then he waited until the sunset, then he came to him and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad, and pray Maghrib.' So he got up and prayed it when the sun had set. Then he waited until the twilight disappeared, then he came to him and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad, and pray 'Isha'.' So he got up and prayed it. Then he came to him when dawn broke and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad, and pray.' So he got up and prayed Subh.' So he got up and prayed Subh. Then he came to him the next day when a man's shadow was equal to his height, and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad, and pray.' So he prayed Zuhr. Then Jibril came to him when a man's shadow was equal to twice his length and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad, and pray.' So he prayed 'Asr. Then he came to him for Maghrib when the sun set, at exactly the same time as the day before, and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad, and pray.' So he prayed Maghrib. Then he came to him for 'Isha' when the first third of the night had passed, and said: 'Get up and pray.' So he prayed 'Isha'. Then he came to him for Subh when it had become very bright, and said: 'Get up and pray.' So he prayed Subh. Then he said: 'The times of prayer one between those two (limits).'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 526)   

«جَاءَ جِبْرِيلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ قُمْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَصَلِّ الظُّهْرَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَهُ فَقَالَ قُمْ فَصَلِّ الْعَصْرَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ حِينَ غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ قُمْ فَصَلِّ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ الشَّفَقُ فَجَاءَهُ فَقَالَ قُمْ فَصَلِّ الْعِشَاءَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّاهَا ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ حِينَ سَطَعَ الْفَجْرُ بِالصُّبْحِ فَقَالَ قُمْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَصَلِّ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الصُّبْحَ وَجَاءَهُ مِنَ الْغَدِ حِينَ صَارَ ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَهُ فَقَالَ قُمْ فَصَلِّ الظُّهْرَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَيْهِ فَقَالَ قُمْ فَصَلِّ الْعَصْرَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ حِينَ غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَقْتًا وَاحِدًا لَمْ يَزَلْ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ قُمْ فَصَلِّ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقَامَ فَصَلِّى الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ الْعِشَاءَ حِينَ ذَهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ قُمْ فَصَلِّ الْعِشَاءَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ الصُّبْحَ حِينَ أَسْفَرَ جِدًّا فَقَالَ قُمْ فَصَلِّ الصُّبْحَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فَقَالَ مَا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ وَقْتٌ كُلُّهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The time for Dhuhr prayer is when the sun declines and the shadow of a person is equal to his height, until Asr prayer. The time for Asr prayer is until the sun turns yellow. The time for Isha prayer is until the middle of the night or half of the night. The time for Fajr prayer is until the sun rises."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «وَقْتُ الظُّهْرِ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَكَانَ ظِلُّ الرَّجُلِ كَطُولِهِ مَا لَمْ يَحْضُرِ الْعَصْرُ وَوَقْتُ الْعَصْرِ مَا لَمْ تَصْفَرَّ الشَّمْسُ وَوَقْتُ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَوَقْتُ الْفَجْرِ مَا لَمْ تَطْلُعِ الشَّمْسُ»  

Prayer at its appointed hour. I (again) said: Then what? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Kindness to the parents. I (again) said: Then what? He replied: Earnest endeavour (Jihad) in the cause of Allah. And I would have not ceased asking more questions but out of regard (for his feelings). (Using translation from Muslim 85a)  

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «الصَّلَاةُ لِمِيقَاتِهَا»  

[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allahﷺ which actions are the best? He replied, "Prayer at its appointed time."  

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «الصَّلَاةُ فِي أَوَّلِ وَقْتِهَا»  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, which actions are most beloved to Allah?" He replied, "Prayer at its designated times." I said, "Then what?" He said, "Showing kindness to parents." I said, "Then what?" He said, "Jihad (striving in the cause of Allah)." And if I had asked him further, he would have continued to give me more.  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «الصَّلَوَاتُ لِمَوَاقِيتِهَا» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ الْجِهَادُ» وَلَوِ اسْتَزَدْتُهُ لَزَادَنِي  

[Machine] He asked the Prophet SAW which deeds are most beloved to Allah. The Prophet SAW replied, "Prayer at its appointed time." He asked again, "Then what?" The Prophet SAW said, "Good treatment of parents." He asked again, "Then what?" The Prophet SAW said, "Jihad in the cause of Allah." He said, "He mentioned these to me and if I had asked for more, he would have told me more."  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «الصَّلَاةُ لِوَقْتِهَا» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ» قَالَ خَصَّنِي بِهِنَّ وَلَوِ اسْتَزَدْتُهُ لَزَادَنِي  

Prayer at its appointed hour. I (again) said: Then what? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: Kindness to the parents. I (again) said: Then what? He replied: Earnest endeavour (Jihad) in the cause of Allah. And I would have not ceased asking more questions but out of regard (for his feelings). (Using translation from Muslim 85a)  

سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «الصَّلَاةُ لِوَقْتِهَا»  

[Machine] I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which deeds are the best?" He said, "Praying at the earliest time of its prescribed period."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «الصَّلَاةُ فِي أَوَّلِ وَقْتِهَا»  

"We complained to the Messenger of Allah about the heat of the sunbaked ground, but he did not respond to our complaint." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 676)   

«شَكَوْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَرَّ الرَّمْضَاءِ فَلَمْ يُشْكِنَا»  

Amr ibn Maymun al-Awdi said: Mu'adh ibn Jabal, the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us in Yemen, I heard his takbir (utterance of AllahuAkbar) in the dawn prayer. He was a man with loud voice. I began to love him. I did depart from him until I buried him dead in Syria (i.e. until his death). Then I searched for a person who had deep understanding in religion amongst the people after him. So I came to Ibn Mas'ud and remained in his company until his death. He (Ibn Mas'ud) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: How will you act when you are ruled by rulers who say prayer beyond its proper time? I said: What do you command me, Messenger of Allah, if I witness such a time? He replied: Offer the prayer at its proper time and also say your prayer along with them as a supererogatory prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 432)  

قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ الْيَمَنَ بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَيْنَا فَسَمِعْتُ تَكْبِيرَهُ مَعَ الْفَجْرِ رَجُلٌ أَجَشُّ الصَّوْتِ فَأَلْقَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ مَحَبَّتِي فَمَا فَارَقْتُهُ حَتَّى دَفَنْتُهُ بِالشَّامِ ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى أَفْقَهِ النَّاسِ بَعْدَهُ فَأَتَيْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَلَزِمْتُهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ فَقَالَ لِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذْا أُمِّرَ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ يُصَلُّونَ الصَّلَاةَ لِغَيْرِ مِيقَاتِهَا؟ » قُلْتُ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي إِنْ أَدْرَكَنِي ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِمِيقَاتِهَا وَاجْعَلْ صَلَاتَكَ مَعَهُمْ سُبْحَةً»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ said, "How would you be if you remained among people who delay the prayer beyond its time?" He said, "What should I do?" He said, "Pray the prayer on its exact time. If you catch up with them and they have not prayed, then pray with them and do not say, 'I have already prayed, so I will not pray.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا بَقِيتَ فِي قَوْمٍ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا» قَالَ كَيْفَ أَفْعَلُ؟ قَالَ «صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَإِذَا أَدْرَكْتَهُمْ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا فَصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ وَلَا تَقُلْ إِنِّي قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ فَلَا أُصَلِّي»  

If anyone obtains a rak'ah in the prayer (along with the imam), he has obtained the whole prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1121)  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet peace be upon him, he said: "Whoever prays a single unit (Rak'ah) before the sunrise, the prayer will not pass him/her, and whoever prays a single unit (Rak'ah) before the sunset, the prayer will not pass him/her."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ صَلَّى مِنَ الصُّبْحِ رَكْعَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ لَمْ تَفُتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ وَمَنْ صَلَّى مِنَ الْعَصْرِ رَكْعَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ لَمْ تَفُتْهُ الصَّلَاةُ»  

If anyone obtains a rak'ah in the prayer (along with the imam), he has obtained the whole prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1121)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ رَكْعَةً فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ كُلَّهَا»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whoever catches one Rak’ah of prayer, he has caught it.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1122)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ رَكْعَةٍ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَهَا وَلْيُتِمَّ مَا بَقِيَ»  

"Whoever catches up with a Rak'ah of the prayer, then he has caught up with it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 554)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ رَكْعَةً فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ»  

A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ while we were with him. She said: Messenger of Allah, my husband, Safwan ibn al-Mu'attal, beats me when I pray, and makes me break my fast when I keep a fast, and he does not offer the dawn prayer until the sun rises. He asked Safwan, who was present, about what she had said. He replied: Messenger of Allah, as for her statement "he beats me when I pray", she recites two surahs (during prayer) and I have prohibited her (to do so). He (the Prophet) said: If one surah is recited (during prayer), that is sufficient for the people. (Safwan continued:) As regards her saying "he makes me break my fast," she dotes on fasting; I am a young man, I cannot restrain myself. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on that day: A woman should not fast except with the permission of her husband. (Safwan said:) As for her statement that I do not pray until the sun rises, we are a people belonging to a class, and that (our profession of supplying water) is already known about us. We do not awake until the sun rises. He said: When you awake, offer your prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2459)   

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ زَوْجِي صَفْوَانَ بْنَ الْمُعَطَّلِ يَضْرِبُنِي إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ وَيُفَطِّرُنِي إِذَا صُمْتُ وَلَا يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ وَصَفْوَانُ عِنْدَهُ فَسَأَلَهُ عَمَّا قَالَتْ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَّا قَوْلُهَا يَضْرِبُنِي إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ فَإِنَّهَا تَقْرَأُ بِسُورَتِي وَقَدْ نَهَيْتُهَا عَنْهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَوْ كَانَتْ سُورَةً وَاحِدَةً لَكَفَتِ النَّاسَ» قَالَ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهَا يُفَطِّرُنِي إِذَا صُمْتُ فَإِنَّهَا تَنْطَلِقُ فَتَصُومُ وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ وَلَا أَصْبِرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ «لَا تَصُومُ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ زَوْجِهَا» قَالَ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهَا لَا أُصَلِّي حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ لَا نَكَادُ نَسْتَيْقِظُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ ﷺ «فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظْتَ فَصَلِّ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Go out for the Fajr (dawn) prayer, as it is greater in reward" or he said, "It is greater for your rewards."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «أَسْفِرُوا بِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ فَإِنَّهُ أَعْظَمُ لِلْأَجْرِ» أَوْ قَالَ «أَعْظَمُ لِأُجُورِكُمْ»  

"A man came to the Prophet and asked him about the times of the prayer. He said: 'Pray with us for two days.' When the sun passed its zenith he commanded Bilal to call the Adhan, then he commanded him to give the Iqamah for Zuhr; then he commanded him to give the Iqamah for 'Asr when the sun was high and clearly white. Then he commanded him to give the Iqamah for Maghrib when the sun had set; then he commanded him to give the Iqamah for 'Isha' when the red afterglow had disappeared; then he commanded him to give the Iqamah for Fajr when dawn came. On the following day he commanded him to give the Adhan for Zuhr when the extreme heat had passed and it had cooled down; then he prayed 'Asr when the sun was still high, but he delayed it more than he had done the day before; then he prayed Maghrib before the red afterglow disappeared; he prayed 'Isha' when one-third of the night had passed; and he prayed Fajr at the time when it was already light. Then he said: 'Where is the one who was asking about the times of Prayer?' The man said: 'Here I am, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'The times of your prayer are between the times you have seen.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 667)   

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ «صَلِّ مَعَنْا هَذَيْنِ الْوَقْتَيْنِ» فَلَمَّا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ حَيَّةٌ وَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَصَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ حِينَ غَابَ الشَّفَقُ وَصَلَّى الْفَجْرَ بِغَلَسٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ أَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَبْرَدَ بِالظُّهْرِ فَأَنْعَمَ أَنْ يُبْرِدَ بِهَا وَأَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ أَخَّرَهَا فَوْقَ الَّذِي كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَأَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الْمَغْرِبَ قَبْلَ مَغِيبِ الشَّفَقِ وَأَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الْعِشَاءَ بَعْدَمَا ذَهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ وَأَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الْفَجْرَ فَأَسْفَرَ بِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنْ وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ؟ » قَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «وَقْتُ صَلَاتِكُمْ بَيْنَ مَا رَأَيْتُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed with us the morning prayer, then he offered a lecture after which he prayed the morning prayer again and said, "Where is the one who asked about the timing of the morning prayer? It is between my prayer yesterday and today."  

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ فَغَلَّسَ بِهَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ فَأَسْفَرَ بِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنْ وَقْتِ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ؟ فِيمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاتِي أَمْسِ وَالْيَوْمِ»  

[Machine] That Jibril informed Muhammad ﷺ of the time of prayer, so Umar said to him, "I know what you are saying, O Urwah." Urwah said, "I heard Bashir ibn Abi Mas'ood say, 'I heard Abu Mas'ood al-Ansari say, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Jibril came down and informed me of the time of prayer, so I prayed with him. Then I prayed with him again. Then I prayed with him again. Then I prayed with him again. Then I prayed with him.'" He counted on his fingers five prayers. "And I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying Dhuhr when the sun was about to set, and sometimes he would delay it until the heat intensified. And I saw him praying Asr when the sun was high and white before the yellow color entered it. Then a person would leave the prayer and come to Dhul-Hulayfah before the sunset and would pray Maghrib when the sun had set, and would pray Isha when the horizon became dark. Sometimes he would delay it until the people gathered. And he would pray Fajr when it was still dark. Then he would pray again and it would become bright. Then after that, his prayer would be at mid-galas (a unit of measurement) until he died. He did not cease doing so until it emerged (became light).'"  

أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ قَدْ أَخْبَرَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ بِوَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ أَعْلَمُ مَا تَقُولُ يَا عُرْوَةُ فَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ سَمِعْتُ بَشِيرَ بْنَ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «نَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ فَأَخْبَرَنِي بِوَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ» فَحَسَبَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ «وَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ وَرُبَّمَا أَخَّرَهَا حِينَ يَشْتَدُّ الْحَرُّ وَرَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَهَا الصُّفْرَةُ فَيَنْصَرِفُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَيَأْتِي ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ وَيُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ تَسْقُطُ الشَّمْسُ وَيُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ حِينَ يَسْوَدُّ الْأُفُقُ وَرُبَّمَا أَخَّرَهَا حَتَّى يَجْتَمِعُ النَّاسُ وَصَلَّى الصُّبْحُ بِغَلَسٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّى مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَأَسْفَرَ بِهَا ثُمَّ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِالْغَلَسِ حَتَّى مَاتَ ﷺ لَمْ يَعُدْ إِلَى أَنْ يُسْفِرَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ prayed with us and made ghusl (ritual washing) with it (water), then he prayed the dawn prayer and used the water to wash his face. Then he said ﷺ , "Where is the one who asked about the timing of the morning prayer? It is between my prayer yesterday and today."  

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَغَلَّسَ بِهَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْغَدَ فَأَسْفَرَ بِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ «أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنْ وَقْتِ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ؟ فِيمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاتِي أَمْسِ وَالْيَوْمِ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Wake up in the morning, for whenever you wake up in the morning, it is greater in reward for you or for your reward."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «أَصْبِحُوا بِالصُّبْحِ فَإِنَّكُمْ كُلَّمَا أَصْبَحْتُمْ بِالصُّبْحِ كَانَ أَعْظَمَ لِأُجُورِكُمْ أَوْ لِأَجْرِهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Embark on the Fajr prayer, for it is the greatest in reward."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَسْفِرُوا بِالْفَجْرِ فَإِنَّهُ أَعْظَمُ لِلْأَجْرِ»
