Sayyiduna Abu Malik al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The promised Day means the Day of Resurrection; the witness (shahid) means Friday; that which is witnessed (mashhud) means the Day of Arafah. Allah Almighty has appointed Friday for us. And the middle prayer means the prayer after Asr."
Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Muhammad bin Isma'il bin Ayyash, who is da'if (weak).
