Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The general scholars understand by these two prayers the ‘Asr and Fajr prayers. The meaning of "bard" is "cool." The time of ‘Asr, in relation to the remaining part of the day, is cool, and the time of Fajr, in relation to the remaining part of the night, is cool. Another interpretation is also given: that "bard" means "edge," i.e., the prayers at the two edges. The ‘Asr prayer is performed at the edge of the day, and the Fajr prayer at the edge of the night. (Abdullah Rafiq)
