Explanation & Benefits

521. Commentary:
➊ Just as this hadith indicates that the Maghrib prayer should be commenced immediately after the sun sets, it also shows that short surahs should be recited in the Maghrib prayer; otherwise, it may become dark while one is still praying.
➋ Here, what is meant is the actual city of Madinah, not the surrounding villages, because those were several miles away.
