“Safwan bin Mu’attal asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to ask you about something of which you have knowledge and I know nothing.’ He said: ‘What is it?’ He said: ‘Is there any time of the night or day when it is disliked to perform prayer? He said: ‘Yes, when you have prayed the Subh, then do not pray until the sun has risen, for it rises between the two horns of Satan. Then pray, for the prayer is attended (by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allah) until the sun is right overhead like a spear. For at that time Hell is heated up and its gates are opened. (Then refrain from prayer) until the sun passes the zenith. Then when it has passed the zenith, the prayer is attended (by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allah) until you pray the ‘Asr. Then stop praying until the sun has set.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1252)   

سَأَلَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ أَنْتَ بِهِ عَالِمٌ وَأَنَا بِهِ جَاهِلٌ قَالَ «مَا هُوَ؟ » قَالَ هَلْ مِنْ سَاعَاتِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ سَاعَةٌ تُكْرَهُ فِيهَا الصَّلَاةُ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الصُّبْحَ فَدَعِ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ لِقَرْنِ الشَّيْطَانِ ثُمَّ صَلِّ وَالصَّلَاةُ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ حَتَّى تَسْتَوِيَ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ كَالرُّمْحِ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ كَالرُّمْحِ فَدَعِ الصَّلَاةَ فَإِنَّهَا السَّاعَةُ الَّتِي تُسْجَرُ فِيهَا جَهَنَّمَ وَيُغَمُّ فِيهَا زَوَايَاهَا حَتَّى تَزِيغَ فَإِذَا زَاغَتْ فَالصَّلَاةُ مَحْضُورَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ دَعِ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ»  

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ forbade praying after 'Asr until the sun had set, and after Subh until the sun had risen. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 561)  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ وَعَنِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ»  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade the prayer after Asr until the sun sets, and the prayer after Fajr until the sun rises.  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حِبَّانَ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ وَعَنِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ»  

[Machine] Regarding the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "When the sun's eyebrow rises, do not pray until it is fully visible, then pray. And when the sun's eyebrow sets, do not pray until it has fully set, then pray. Do not hasten your prayers at sunrise or sunset, as it rises between the horns of Satan."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا طَلَعَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَلَا تُصَلُّوا حَتَّى يَبْرُزَ ثُمَّ صَلُّوا فَإِذَا غَابَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَلَا تُصَلُّوا حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ ثُمَّ صَلُّوا وَلَا تَحَيَّنُوا بِصَلَاتِكُمْ طُلُوعَ الشَّمْسِ وَلَا غُرُوبَهَا وَإِنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيْ شَيْطَانٍ»  

There were three times at which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to forbid us to pray or bury our dead - when the sun begins to rise till it is fully up, when the sun is at its height midway till it passes the meridian, and when the sun draws near to setting till it sets, or as he said. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3192)   

«ثَلَاثُ سَاعَاتٍ كَانَ يَنْهَانَا عَنْهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ فِيهِنَّ وَأَنْ نَقْبُرَ فِيهِنَّ مَوْتَانَا حِينَ تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ بَازِغَةً حَتَّى تَرْتَفِعَ وَحِينَ يَقُومُ قَائِمُ الظَّهِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَمِيلَ الشَّمْسُ وَحِينَ تَصَوَّبُ الشَّمْسُ لِغُرُوبِهَا»  

“Do not pray after ‘Asr unless you pray when the sun is still high.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 1073)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تُصَلُّوا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُصَلُّوا وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ»  

"No one of you should deliberately try to pray when the sun is rising, or when it is setting." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 563)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَتَحَرَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُصَلِّي عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَلَا عِنْدَ غُرُوبِهَا»  

Some reliable people testified before me, and among them was Umar ibn al-Khattab, and most reliable in my eyes was Umar: The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: There is no prayer after the dawn prayer until the sun rises; and there is no prayer after the 'Asr prayer until the sun sets. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1276)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «صَلَاتَانِ لَا صَلَاةَ* بَعْدَهُمَا صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ وَصَلَاةُ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, are there any specific times during the day and night when I should not pray?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "If you pray Fajr (before sunrise), then shorten your prayers until the sun has risen, for it rises between the horns of Satan. After that, the prayer is witnessed but prohibited until midday. When midday has passed, shorten your prayers until the sun starts to decline, for at that time Hellfire is kindled and its heat intensifies. When the sun has set, the prayer is witnessed but prohibited until you have performed Asr prayer. Once you have performed Asr prayer, shorten your prayers until the sun has set between the horns of Satan. After that, the prayer is witnessed but prohibited until you have performed Fajr prayer again."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ سَاعَاتِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ سَاعَةٌ تَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ لَا أُصَلِّيَ فِيهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الصُّبْحَ فَأَقْصِرْ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى تَرْتَفِعَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيِ الشَّيْطَانِ ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَشْهُودَةٌ مَحْضُورَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ حَتَّى يَنْتَصِفَ النَّهَارُ فَإِذَا انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ فَأَقْصِرْ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى تَمِيلَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِنَّ حِينَئِذٍ تُسَعَّرُ جَهَنَّمُ وَشِدَّةُ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ فَإِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَالصَّلَاةُ مَحْضُورَةٌ مَشْهُودَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ الْعَصْرَ فَإِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الْعَصْرَ فَأَقْصِرْ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِنَّهَا تَغِيبُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيِ الشَّيْطَانِ ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةُ مَشْهُودَةٌ مَحْضُورَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ الصُّبْحَ»  

"There are three times at which the Messenger of Allah forbade us to pray or to bury our dead: When the sun has risen fully until it is higher, when it reaches its zenith until it has passed the zenith, and when the sun starts to set" (Sahib) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2013)  

ثَلَاثُ سَاعَاتٍ كَانَ «يَنْهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ فِيهِنَّ أَوْ نَقْبُرَ فِيهِنَّ مَوْتَانَا حِينَ تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ بَازِغَةً حَتَّى تَرْتَفِعَ وَحِينَ يَقُومُ قَائِمُ الظَّهِيرَةِ حَتَّى تَمِيلَ الشَّمْسُ وَحِينَ تَصَوَّبُ الشَّمْسُ لِغُرُوبِهَا»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "O sons of Abd al-Muttalib, if you have any authority, I do not know anyone among them to prevent anyone from praying at the Kaaba at any hour of the day or night."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ إِنْ كَانَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ فَلَا أَعْرِفَنَّ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يَمْنَعَ مَنْ يُصَلِّي عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ أَيَّ سَاعَةٍ شَاءَ مِنْ لَيْلٍ أَوْ نَهَارٍ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Do not prevent anyone from going round this House (the Ka'bah) and from praying any moment he desires by day or by night. The narrator Fadl (ibn Ya'qub) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Banu Abdu Munaf, do not stop anyone. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1894)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ لَا تَمْنَعُوا أَحَدًا طَافَ بِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ وَصَلَّى أَيَّ سَاعَةٍ شَاءَ مِنْ لَيْلٍ أَوْ نَهَارٍ»  

"O Banu Abd Manaf, do not prevent anyone from circumambulating this House of praying at any time of the night or day he wishes." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2924)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ لَا تَمْنَعُنَّ أَحَدًا طَافَ بِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ وَصَلَّى أَيَّ سَاعَةٍ شَاءَ مِنْ لَيْلٍ وَنَهَارٍ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "If anyone forgets a prayer he should pray that prayer when he remembers it. There is no expiation except to pray the same." Then he recited: "Establish prayer for My (i.e. Allah's) remembrance." (20.14). (Using translation from Bukhārī 597)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ نَسِيَ صَلَاةً فَلْيُصَلِّهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Whoever forgets a prayer or oversleeps it should perform it as soon as they remember."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «مَنْ نَسِيَ صَلَاةً أَوْ نَامَ عَنْهَا فَلْيُصَلِّهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا»  

The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever catches one Rak'ah of the 'Asr before the sun sets, then he has caught it, and whoever catches one Rak'ah of the Subh before the sun rises, then he has caught it." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 699)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الصُّبْحِ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الْعَصْرِ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ»  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it is narrated, "There will be rulers who will disregard the prayer, dragging it to the east of death. Whoever among you witnesses that, let them pray the prayer on time and let their prayer be with them as a companion."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ أُمَرَاءُ يُسِيئُونَ الصَّلَاةَ يَخْنُقُونَهَا إِلَى شَرَقِ الْمَوْتَى فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا وَلْيَجْعَلْ صَلَاتَهُ مَعَهُمْ سُبْحَةً»  

[Machine] The phrase "ﷺ قَالَ «بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَذَانَيْنِ صَلَاةٌ لِمَنْ شَاءَ بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَذَانَيْنِ صَلَاةٌ لِمَنْ شَاءَ» وَكَانَ ابْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ* الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ" translates to: "He ﷺ said, 'Between every call to prayer, there is a prayer for whoever wishes. Between every call to prayer, there is a prayer for whoever wishes.' Ibn Buraydah used to pray two rak'ahs before Maghrib prayer."  

ﷺ قَالَ «بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَذَانَيْنِ صَلَاةٌ لِمَنْ شَاءَ بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَذَانَيْنِ صَلَاةٌ لِمَنْ شَاءَ» وَكَانَ ابْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ* الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْن ِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Between the two adhans there is a prayer, between the two adhans there is prayer for one who desires (to offer). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1283)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَذَانَيْنِ صَلَاةٌ لِمَنْ شَاءَ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Between the two adhans there is a prayer, between the two adhans there is prayer for one who desires (to offer). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1283)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَذَانَيْنِ صَلَاةٌ لِمَنْ شَاءَ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “No prayer should be offered after ʿAsr unless the sun is bright and still high.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 610)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يُصَلَّى *الْعَصْرِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ الشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ»  

[Machine] "He (the person being referred to) prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the morning prayer and did not perform the two units of the dawn prayer. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he (the person being referred to) stood up and performed the two units of the dawn prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked at him and did not criticize him for that."  

«أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ يَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prayed, then when he finished his prayer, he saw two men behind the people. He commanded them to be brought forward and it thundered upon their arrival. He said to them, "What prevented you from praying with us?" They said, "O Prophet of Allah, we prayed in our journey." Then they turned towards each other and the Prophet ﷺ said, "If you have already prayed in your journey and then you catch up with the congregational prayer, then pray, for it will be considered as a voluntary prayer for you."  

صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَلَاةً فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ إِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ فِي مُؤَخَّرِ النَّاسِ فَأَمَرَ فَجِيءَ بِهِمَا تُرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ لَهُمَا «مَا حَمَلَكُمَا عَلَى أَنْ لَا تُصَلِّيَا مَعَنْا» قَالَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّيْنَا فِي رِحَالِنَا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمَا فِي رِحَالِكُمَا ثُمَّ أَدْرَكْتُمَا الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلِّيَا فَإِنَّهَا لَكُمَا نَافِلَةٌ»  

I attended Fajr prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Masjid al-Khayf. When he finished praying, he saw two men at the back of the people who had not prayed with him. He said: “Bring them here.” So they were brought to him, trembling. He said: “What kept you from praying with us?” They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah ﷺ we had already prayed in our homes.' He said: “Do not do that. If you have already prayed in your homes, then you come to a masjid in which there is a congregation, then pray with them, and it will be a voluntary prayer for you." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 858)   

شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَجَّتَهُ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ مِنْ مِنًى فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ إِذَا رَجُلَانِ فِي آخِرِ النَّاسِ لَمْ يُصَلِّيَا فَأُتِيَ بِهِمَا تُرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ «مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَنْا؟ » قَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كُنَّا قَدْ صَلَّيْنَا فِي رِحَالِنَا قَالَ «فَلَا تَفْعَلَا إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمَا فِي رِحَالِكُمَا ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُمَا مَسْجِدَ جَمَاعَةٍ فَصَلِّيَا مَعَهُمْ فَإِنَّهَا لَكُمَا نَافِلَةٌ»  

[Machine] Narrated Ibn 'Umar: The Prophet ﷺ said, "None of you should offer prayer at the time of the rising or setting of the sun."  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَتَحَرَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فَيُصَلِّي عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَلَا عِنْدَ غُرُوبِهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When the sun's eyebrow appears, refrain from praying until it is level (in the sky). And when the sun's eyebrow disappears, refrain from praying until it sets.'  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا بَرَزَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَأَمْسِكُوا عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى يَسْتَوِيَ فَإِذَا غَابَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَأَمْسِكُوا عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى يَغِيبَ»  

[Machine] "Pray, for indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade praying when the sun rises."  

«صَلِّ إِنَّمَا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ إِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not pray at the time of the sunrise or sunset, as it sets between the horns of Satan."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَحَرَّوْا بِصَلَاتِكُمْ طُلُوعَ الشَّمْسِ وَلَا غُرُوبَهَا فَإِنَّهَا تَغْرُبُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيِ الشَّيْطَانِ»  

We bear witness that 'Aishah said: Not a day passed but the Prophet ﷺ prayed two rak'ahs after the 'Asr prayer (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1279)   

عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ وَمَسْرُوقٍ قَالَا نَشْهَدُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ كَانَ يَأْتِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَّا صَلَّى بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

"I heard Masruq and Al-Aswad say: We bear witness that 'Aishah said: 'When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was with me after 'Asr, he would pray them (these two Rak'ahs).'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 576)   

سَمِعْتُ الْأَسْوَدَ وَمَسْرُوقًا قَالَا نَشْهَدُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «مَا كَانَ يَوْمَهَا الَّذِي كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عِنْدَهَا إِلَّا صَلَّى بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ»  

[Machine] She said, "Are they to be punished? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never entered upon me except that he prayed for both of them."  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «أَيُضْرَبُ * عَلَيْهِمَا؟ مَا دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَطُّ إِلَّا صَلَّاهُمَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not miss the two units of prayer after Asr in my house until he left this world.  

«مَا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فِي بَيْتِي حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا»  

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him was busy with the two units after Dhuhr prayers, he performed them after Asr."  

«لَمَّا شُغِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ صَلَّاهُمَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was given some money after Dhuhr prayer, so he divided it until he performed Asr prayer. Then he entered Aisha's house and prayed two units of prayer after Asr. He said, "This money occupied me from praying the two units of prayer after Dhuhr, so I did not perform them until now."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أُتِيَ بِمَالٍ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَقَسَمَهُ حَتَّى صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مَنْزِلَ عَائِشَةَ فَصَلَّى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ وَقَالَ «شَغَلَنِي هَذَا الْمَالُ عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَلَمْ أُصَلِّهِمَا حَتَّى كَانَ الْآنَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ forbade this. Ibn Abbas said, "I used to accompany Umar ibn al-Khattab in hitting people who were engaged in it." Kuraib said, "I entered upon her (Aisha) and conveyed what they had sent me to convey."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنْهَا قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَكُنْتُ أَضْرِبُ مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ كُرَيْبٌ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَبَلَّغْتُهَا مَا أَرْسَلُونِي بِهِ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ  

"He used to pray them before 'Asr, but if he got distracted or forgot them, he would pray them after 'Asr, and if he did a prayer he would be constant in it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 578)   

عَنِ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّيهِمَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فِي بَيْتِهَا فَقَالَتْ «كَانَ يُصَلِّيهِمَا بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ وَإِنَّهُ شُغِلَ عَنْهُمَا فَصَلَّاهُمَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ أَثْبَتَهُمَا وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَاةً أَثْبَتَهَا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Take from your actions what you can bear, for Allah does not get tired until you get tired. And the most beloved deeds to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ are those that are done consistently, even if they are few. When he performed a prayer, he would continue to perform it regularly. Abu Salama reported that Allah says, "Those who are constant in their prayers."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خُذُوا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا» وَكَانَ أَحَبُّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَدْوَمَهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَاةً دَاوَمَ عَلَيْهَا يَقُولُ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ «قَالَ اللَّهُ {الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ دَائِمُونَ} »  

[Machine] We traveled with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and some people said, "Why don't you get married to one of us, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "I fear that you will neglect the prayer." Then Bilal said, "I can wake you up." So he leaned against his mount and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up as the sun's rays appeared. He said, "O Bilal, where is what you said?" Bilal replied, "I was overwhelmed by sleep the likes of which I have never slept before." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Get up and call the people to prayer." When the sun rose and its rays turned white, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and led them in prayer.  

سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ لَوْ عَرَّسْتَ بِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَخَافُ أَنْ تَنَامُوا عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ» فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ أَنَا أُوقِظُكُمْ فَاسْتَنَدَ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَاسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ طَلَعَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ «يَا بِلَالُ أَيْنَ مَا قُلْتَ؟ » قَالَ أُلْقِيَتْ عَلَيَّ نَوْمَةٌ مَا نِمْتُ مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ قَالَ «قُمْ فَأَذِّنِ النَّاسَ بِالصَّلَاةِ» فَلَمَّا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَابْيَضَّتْ قَامَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] One night, we traveled with the Messenger of Allahﷺ and we said, "O Messenger of Allah, if we reach the ground, we will sleep and our belongings will be guarded." He said, "So who will guard us?" I said, "I will." But I was overwhelmed with sleep and I was not awakened except when the sun had risen. The Messenger of Allahﷺ did not wake up except by our words. He commanded Bilal to make the call to prayer, then he stood and prayed with us.  

سِرْنَا ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَمْسَسْنَا الْأَرْضَ فَنِمْنَا وَرَعَتْ رَكَائِبُنَا قَالَ «فَمَنْ يَحْرُسُنَا؟ » قَالَ قُلْتُ أَنَا فَغَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنِي فَلَمْ يُوقِظْنِي إِلَّا وَقَدْ طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَلَمْ يَسْتَيْقِظْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَّا بِكَلَامِنَا قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَذَّنَ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Whoever catches a unit of prayer (rak'ah) before the rising of the sun, then let him pray another one to it after the sun has risen."  

عَنْ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَلْيُصَلِّ إِلَيْهَا أُخْرَى»  

If anyone says a rak'ah of the 'Asr prayer before sunset, he has observed (the 'Asr prayer), and if anyone performs a rak'ah of the Fajr prayer, he has observed (the Fajr prayer). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 412)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الْعَصْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَهَا وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الْفَجْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ وَرَكْعَةً بَعْدَ مَا تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَهَا»  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever catches one Rak'ah (unit of prayer) of Fajr before the rising of the sun has indeed caught Fajr (morning) prayer, and whoever catches one Rak'ah of Asr before the setting of the sun has indeed caught Asr (afternoon) prayer."  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَعَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ يُحَدِّثُونَهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الصُّبْحِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصُّبْحَ وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الْعَصْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْعَصْرَ»  

The Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever catches one Rak'ah of the 'Asr before the sun sets, then he has caught it, and whoever catches one Rak'ah of the Subh before the sun rises, then he has caught it." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 699)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ سَجْدَةً قَبْلَ أَنٌ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ أَوْ مِنَ الصُّبْحِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَهَا»  

If anyone says a rak'ah of the 'Asr prayer before sunset, he has observed (the 'Asr prayer), and if anyone performs a rak'ah of the Fajr prayer, he has observed (the Fajr prayer). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 412)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ رَكْعَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَهَا وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الْفَجْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ * بَعْدَمَا تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَهَا»  

"If any one of you catches the first prostration of 'Asr prayer before the sun sets, let him complete his prayer, and if he catches up with the first prostration of Fajr prayer before the sub rises, let him complete his prayer." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 516)   

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَدْرَكَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَوَّلَ سَجْدَةٍ مِنَ الصُّبْحِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَلْيُتِمَّ صَلَاتَهُ وَإِذَا أَدْرَكَ أَوَّلَ سَجْدَةٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ فَلْيُتِمَّ صَلَاتَهُ»  

"When the dawn appears, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would only pray two short Rak'ahs." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 583)   

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ لَا يُصَلِّي إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prayed two units before Maghrib prayer, then he said after the third unit, "For whoever wishes." He was concerned that people would consider it a Sunnah.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ * ثُمَّ قَالَ عِنْدَ الثَّالِثَةِ «لِمَنْ شَاءَ» خَافَ أَنْ يَحْسِبَهَا النَّاسُ سُنَّةً  

"When the Mu'adhdhin called the Adhan, some of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ would get up and rush to the pillars (in the Masjid) and pray until the Prophet ﷺ came out and they were like that. They would pray before Maghrib and there was nothing between the Adhan and Iqamah." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 682)   

«إِنْ كَانَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ إِذَا أَذَّنَ قَامَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيَبْتَدِرُونَ السَّوَارِيَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ يُصَلُّونَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ شَيْءٌ»
