اُردوEn
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَنْ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ فَجَلَسَ يُمْلِي خَيْرًا حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ كَانَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ عِتْقِ ثَمَانِيَةٍ مِنْ وَلْدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs the Asr prayer and then continues to speak good words until evening, this deed will be more virtuous and equal to freeing eight slaves from the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him).
Brief Explanation
