بَابُ جَامِعِ الْوُقُوْتِComprehensive rulings on prayer times
Hadith 22
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ لَيُصَلِّي الصَّلَاةَ وَمَا فَاتَهُ وَقْتُهَا ، وَلَمَا فَاتَهُ مِنْ وَقْتِهَا أَعْظَمُ ، أَوْ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ " .
Yahya bin Saeed, may Allah have mercy on him, used to say that sometimes a person offers prayer and the time does not pass away, but the time that has passed was better and superior for him than his household and wealth.
