Hadith 172

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْمَدَنِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " الْوَقْتُ الْأَوَّلُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ ، وَالْوَقْتُ الْآخِرُ عَفْوُ اللَّهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا غَرِيبٌ ، وَقَدْ رَوَى ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ ، قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ عَلِيٍّ , وَابْنِ عُمَرَ , وَعَائِشَةَ , وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ أُمِّ فَرْوَةَ لَا يُرْوَى إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْعُمَرِيِّ ، وَلَيْسَ هُوَ بِالْقَوِيِّ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ ، وَاضْطَرَبُوا عَنْهُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَهُوَ صَدُوقٌ ، وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِفْظِهِ .
´Ibn Umar narrated that :` Allah's Messenger said: "The beginning of the time for Salat is pleasing to Allah, and the end of its time is pardoned by Allah."

Lexical Explanation:
«دون الاوسط» In the narration of Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu, there is no mention of the middle time. In it, only the beginning and end are mentioned.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Both of these hadiths are extremely weak. It is not appropriate to rely on them. As for the narration of Sunan Darqutni (in Bulugh al-Maram, hadith 141), it is narrated through Ya'qub bin Walid. Imam Ahmad rahimahullah has said about him that he is among the great liars. Ibn Ma'in has also declared him a liar and a fabricator. Imam Nasa'i rahimahullah has ignored him altogether. Imam Ibn Hibban rahimahullah has said that he used to fabricate hadith (inventing and attributing them to himself). And in its chain of narration is also Ibrahim bin Zakariya Bijli, who has been declared unreliable. As for the narration of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar radi Allahu anhu in Tirmidhi, Ya'qub bin Walid is also present in it.
➋ After the criticism and evaluation of the hadith scholars, this hadith is not worthy of consideration.

Narrator of the Hadith:
(Sayyiduna Abu Mahdhurah radi Allahu anhu) His name was Samurah or Aws bin Mi'ir (with a kasrah under the meem, a sukun on the 'ayn, and a fathah on the ya). He was a Jahmi. He was the muezzin of the Messenger of Allah. He accepted Islam on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah. He settled in Makkah. He used to give the call to prayer (adhan) for the five daily prayers. He passed away in 59 AH.
