Abu Bakr bin Ammarah narrates: A man from Basra came to my father. He asked: Did you hear the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say this? "The person who performs the prayer before sunrise and before sunset will not enter Hell." My father replied: Yes. Then the man from Basra said: He also testified that he heard this from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) himself.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit: In these hadiths, the virtue and greatness of the Fajr (dawn) and Asr (afternoon) prayers are mentioned, in that during these prayers, the angels of the day and night are present. Furthermore, these times are extremely blessed, such that whoever values these times and gives special attention to these prayers becomes purified from sins and is made an inheritor of Paradise.
Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani rahimahullah states that the Fajr and Asr prayers possess immense greatness because, during these prayers, both groups of angels are present, whereas in the other prayers, only one group of angels is present. And it is also mentioned in the hadiths that after the Fajr prayer, sustenance is distributed, and at the end of the day, deeds are raised up. Therefore, whoever is engaged in obedience and worship at these times, blessings are placed in his sustenance. (Fath al-Bari: 2/50).
