The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me and what he taught me is this: Observe the five prayers regularly. He said: I told (him): I have many works at these times; so give me a comprehensive advice which, if I follow, should be enough for me. He said: Observe the two afternoon prayers (al-asrayn). But the term al-asrayn (two afternoon prayers) was not used in our language. Hence I said: What is al-asrayn? He said: A prayer before the sunrise and a prayer before the sunset (i.e. the dawn and the afternoon prayers).

عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ فِيمَا عَلَّمَنِي وَحَافِظْ عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ سَاعَاتٌ لِي فِيهَا أَشْغَالٌ فَمُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ جَامِعٍ إِذَا أَنَا فَعَلْتُهُ أَجْزَأَ عَنِّي فَقَالَ حَافِظْ عَلَى الْعَصْرَيْنِ وَمَا كَانَتْ مِنْ لُغَتِنَا فَقُلْتُ وَمَا الْعَصْرَانِ فَقَالَ صَلاَةٌ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَصَلاَةٌ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا

عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ فِيمَ عَلَّمَنِي أَنْ قَالَ «حَافِظْ عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ» فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ سَاعَاتٌ لِي فِيهَا أَشْغَالٌ فَمُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ جَامِعٍ إِذَا أَنَا فَعَلْتُهُ أَجْزَأَ عَنِّي قَالَ فَقَالَ «حَافِظْ عَلَى الْعَصْرَيْنِ» قُلْتُ وَمَا الْعَصْرَانِ؟ قَالَ «صَلَاةٌ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَصَلَاةٌ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught us and among what he taught us, he said, "Guard the prayers and guard the two sunsets." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what are the two sunsets?" He said, "Prayer before the rising of the sun and prayer before its setting."

عَلَّمَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ فِيمَا عَلَّمَنَا قَالَ «حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَحَافِظُوا عَلَى الْعَصْرَيْنِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الْعَصْرَانِ؟ قَالَ «صَلَاةٌ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَصَلَاةٌ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا»

"حافِظُوا علَى الصَّلَواتِ، وحافِظُوا علَى الْعَصْرَيْن: صلاةٍ قَبل طُلُوعِ الشَّمسِ وصلَاةٍ قَبل غُروبِهَا".
