Abu Bakr said: The report of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: «مَنْنَسِيَصَلَاةً،فَلْيُصَلِّهَاإِذَاذَكَرَهَا» is an indication, and the consensus of all the Muslims is that if someone forgets an obligatory prayer, and then remembers it after Fajr or after Asr, it is incumbent upon him to perform it before sunrise if he remembers it after Fajr, and before sunset if he remembers it after Asr; because «النَّبِيَّصَلَّىاللهُعَلَيْهِوَسَلَّمَإِنَّمَانَهَىعَنِالتَّطَوُّعِبَعْدَالصُّبْحِقَبْلَطُلُوعِالشَّمْسِ،وَبَعْدَالْعَصْرِقَبْلَغُرُوبِالشَّمْسِ», for if his prohibition was regarding all prayer, both obligatory and voluntary, it would not be permissible to perform an obligatory prayer after Fajr before sunrise, nor after Asr before sunset, even if one had forgotten it and then remembered it in one of these two times. The second evidence is that he only intended some voluntary prayers, not all of them; I will clarify this in its place in this book, if Allah wills.
