اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) (حديث موقوف) وَبِهَذَا وَبِهَذَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ ، لأَنْ أَصْبِرَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ يَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ ، وَيَذْكُرُونَهُ مِنْ صَلاةِ الْغَدَاةِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ مُحَرَّرِينَ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، أَوْ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ أَنْ أُعْتِقَ مِثْلَهُمْ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace be upon him)! Sitting with people who supplicate to Allah and remember Him from the Fajr prayer until sunrise is more beloved to me than freeing four slaves from among the descendants of Isma'il, or that I free their like from Asr until sunset."

Commentary:
1:
Today, the entire Ummah of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), all its imams and all their followers, are so greatly deprived of this immense reward and the blessings of the early part of the day. Just consider this hadith to realize it. Except as Allah wills. O Allah, make us among them.

Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: This narration is weak in its chain of transmission.
However, being granted the ability to remember Allah is a great virtue and blessing.
And delivering or listening to admonition from the Qur’an and Sunnah is also included in the meaning of the remembrance of Allah.
Furthermore, the time from true dawn (fajr sadiq) until sunrise, and likewise from ‘asr until sunset, is the most excellent and precious time for drawing near to Allah.
It is stated: (So be patient over what they say and glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting)
However, some scholars have also considered it to be hasan (acceptable).
