The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the 'Asr prayer at (the place known as) Mukhammas, and then said: This prayer was presented to those gone before you, but they lost it, and he who guards it has two rewards in store for him. And no prayer is valid after till the onlooker appears (by onlooker is meant the evening star).

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ بِالْمُخَمَّصِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلاَةَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَضَيَّعُوهَا فَمَنْ حَافَظَ عَلَيْهَا كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلاَ صَلاَةَ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الشَّاهِدُ وَالشَّاهِدُ النَّجْمُ

"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.

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ بِالْمُخَمَّصِ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلاَةَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَضَيَّعُوهَا وَمَنْ حَافَظَ عَلَيْهَا كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلاَ صَلاَةَ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الشَّاهِدُ وَالشَّاهِدُ النَّجْمُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Asr prayer with us, and when he finished he said, "Indeed, this prayer was presented to those who came before you, but they neglected and abandoned it. So whoever among you prays it, his reward will be doubled, and there will be no prayer after it until the witness is seen, and the witness is the setting of the sun."

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ قَدْ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَتَوَانَوْا فِيهَا وَتَرَكُوهَا فَمَنْ صَلَّاهَا مِنْكُمْ ضُعِّفَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا ضِعْفَيْنِ وَلَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى يُرَى الشَّاهِدُوَالشَّاهِدُ النَّجْمُ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed with us in a valley called al-Mukhammas during the Asr prayer. He said, "Indeed, this prayer, the Asr prayer, was presented to those before you, but they neglected it. So, whoever prays it will have his reward doubled, and no prayer after it until you see the evening star." I asked Ibn Lahi'ah, "What is the evening star?" He replied, "It is the planet that the Arabs call al-Kawkab, which is the witness of the night."

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي وَادٍ مِنْ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمُخَمَّصُ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ فَضَيَّعُوهَا أَلَا وَمَنْ صَلَّاهَا ضُعِّفَ لَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَلَا وَلَاصَلَاةَ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى تَرَوْا الشَّاهِدَ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ مَا الشَّاهِدُ؟ قَالَ الْكَوْكَبُ الْأَعْرَابُ يُسَمُّونَ الْكَوْكَبَ شَاهِدَ اللَّيْلِ

"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

"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 صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَتَوَانَوْا فِيهَا وَتَرَكُوهَا فَمَنْ صَلَّاهَا مِنْهُمْ ضُعِّفَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى يُرَى الشَّاهِدُ» وَالشَّاهِدُ النَّجْمُ

[AI] On the authority of Abu Basrah Al-Ghifari, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Asr prayer at Al-Mukhmas, then he departed and said, "This prayer was presented to those who came before you, but they neglected it and left it. So, whoever among you prays it, his reward will be multiplied twice, and there is no other prayer until the witness appears." Al-Layth said, "I heard it from Khayr ibn Nuaym with this chain of narration."

عَنْ أَبِي بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ ؓ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى يَوْمًا صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ بِالْمُخَمَّصِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ «هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةُ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَتَوَانَوْا عَنْهَا وَتَرَكُوهَا فَمَنْ صَلَّاهَا مِنْكُمْ ضُعِّفَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا ضِعْفَيْنِ وَلَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الشَّاهِدُ» قَالَ اللَّيْثُ وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ خَيْرِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ

[AI] "He heard Abu Basrah Al-Ghifari saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Asr at the place known as Al-Mukhmas, which was a valley in their land. Then he said, 'Verily, this prayer was presented to those before you, but they abandoned it. So whoever prays it, his reward will be doubled, and there is no prayer after it until you see the witness (i.e. sunset).' And he was referring to the star."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيَّ يَقُولُ صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ بِالْمُخَمَّصِ وَادٍ مِنْ بَعْضِ أَوْدِيَتِهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ فَتَرَكُوهَا أَلَا وَمَنْ صَلَّاهَا ضُعِّفَ لَهُ أَجْرُهَا وَلَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى تَرَوُا الشَّاهِدَ» وَهُوَ النَّجْمُ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, this prayer, meaning the Asr prayer, was made obligatory upon those who came before you, but they neglected it. So whoever among you preserves it today will receive its reward twice, and there is no prayer after it until the witness is seen, meaning the star."

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ» هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ يَعْنِي الْعَصْرَ فُرِضَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَضَيَّعُوهَا فَمَنْ حَافَظَ مِنْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْهَا أُعْطِيَ أَجْرَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى يُرَى الشَّاهِدُ يَعْنِي النَّجْمَ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Asr with us in the Makhmash area. He said, "Indeed, this prayer was shown to those who came before you, but they neglected it. Whoever guards it, his reward is as if he has performed it twice and there is no prayer after it until the witnesses appear." Ibn Bukayr asked Al-Laith about the witness, and he said, "It is the star."

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ بِالْمُخَمَّصِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَضَيَّعُوهَا فَمَنْ حَافَظَ عَلَيْهَا أُوفِيَ أَجْرَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الشَّاهِدُ قَالَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ سَأَلْتُ اللَّيْثَ عَنِ الشَّاهِدِ فَقَالَ هُوَ النَّجْمُ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the 'Asr prayer at (the place known as) Mukhammas, and then said: This prayer was presented to those gone before you, but they lost it, and he who guards it has two rewards in store for him. And no prayer is valid after till the onlooker appears (by onlooker is meant the evening star). (Using translation from Muslim 830a)

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ بِالْمَحْمَصِ وَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةُ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَضَيَّعُوهَا فَمَنْ حَافَظَ عَلَيْهَا كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الشَّاهِدُ وَالشَّاهِدُ النَّجْمُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ قُتَيْبَةَ

"إِنَّ هذِهِ الصلاةَ يعنى -العصرَ- فُرِضَتْ على من كان قبلكم فَضَيَّعُوها، فَمَنْ حافظَ منكم اليومَ عَلَيها كانَ له أَجْرُهُ مَرَّتيْنِ، وَلَا صلاةَ بعدَها حتى يَطلُعَ الشَّاهِدُ. والشَّاهدُ النَّجْمُ" .
