وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ : إِذَا رَقَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ أَوْ غَفَلَ عَنْهَا فَلْيُصَلِّهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ : أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِذِكْرِى . [طه : ۱۴] : وَكُلُّ هَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثُ عِنْدَ مُسْلِمٍ.
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When one of you sleeps and misses the prayer, or forgets it, then he should pray it when he remembers it, for Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: ‘Establish the prayer for My remembrance.'”

Benefits:
➊ When a missed prayer comes to mind, it should be prayed. Sleep and heedlessness overcome the human being.
➋ When giving advice or explaining a matter, proof or reference can be given through a verse of the Quran.
