عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ رُوَيْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ قَالَ: أَخْبِرْنِي مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((لَا يَلِجُ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: لَنْ يَلِجَ) النَّارَ أَحَدٌ صَلَّى قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ)) قَالَ: أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْهُ؟ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ) قَالَ: سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: وَاللَّهِ! لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ
A man from among the people of Basra asked Ruwaybah, saying: Inform me of what you heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: That person will not enter Hell (and in another narration: will never enter) who performs the prayer before sunrise and the prayer before sunset. He said: Did you really hear this from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him? He replied: My ears heard it from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and my heart remembered it. That man said: By Allah! I also heard him saying this.
Hadith 1067
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلَائِكَةً، يَتَعَاقَبُونَ مَلَائِكَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَمَلَائِكَةَ النَّهَارِ فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا فِيكُمْ فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ، فَيَقُولُونَ: كَيْفَ تَرَكْتُمْ عِبَادِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: تَرَكْنَاهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَأَتَيْنَاهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Verily, there are some angels of Allah Almighty who come in succession; they are angels of the night and angels of the day. They gather at the Fajr and Asr prayers, then they ascend to Allah, those who were among you, and Allah asks them, though He knows best, so He asks: In what state did you leave My servants? They say: We left them while they were praying, and when we came to them, they were also praying.
Hadith 1068
عَنْ فَضَالَةَ اللَّيْثِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْلَمْتُ، وَعَلَّمَنِي حَتَّى عَلَّمَنِيَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ لِمَوَاقِيتِهَا، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ لَسَاعَاتٌ أُشْغَلُ فِيهَا فَمُرْنِي بِجَوَامِعَ، فَقَالَ لِي: ((إِنْ شُغِلْتَ فَلَا تُشْغَلْ عَنِ الْعَصْرَيْنِ)) قُلْتُ: وَمَا الْعَصْرَانِ؟ قَالَ: ((صَلَاةُ الْغَدَاةِ وَصَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Fadala al-Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and became Muslim. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me and instructed me in the five prayers along with their times. But I said: These are the hours of my busyness, so give me a shorter command regarding this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you are busy, then you should not neglect the two Asrs. I asked: Which are the two Asrs? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Fajr prayer and the Asr prayer.
Hadith 1069
عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ، فَقَالَ: ((إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ الْقَمَرَ، لَا تُضَامُونَ فِي رُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ لَا تُغْلَبُوا عَلَى هَاتَيْنِ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِ)) ثُمَّ تَلَى هَٰذِهِ الْآيَةَ {فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا} قَالَ شُعْبَةُ (أَحَدُ الرُّوَاةِ): لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَوْ لَمْ يَقُلْ
Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: On the night of Badr, we were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely you will see your Lord just as you see the moon, and you will not be wronged in seeing Him. So if you are able, do not be overcome regarding the prayers before sunrise and before sunset. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: So glorify your Lord with His praise before the rising of the sun and before its setting. Shu’bah says: I do not know whether he (peace and blessings be upon him) said the words "fa in istata’tum" or not.
