➋ {وَ اِدْبَارَ النُّجُوْمِ:} By this is meant the obligatory Fajr prayer. Some scholars have taken this to mean the two rak‘ahs before Fajr prayer, but Imam Tabari says that here {’’ فَسَبِّحْهُ ‘‘} is in the imperative form which is for obligation, so it refers to the obligatory rak‘ahs.
In summary, in these verses the command for all five prayers is given, such that in {’’ حِيْنَ تَقُوْمُ ‘‘} is the mention of Dhuhr and Asr, in {’’ مِنَ الَّيْلِ ‘‘} is the mention of Maghrib and Isha, and in {’’ اِدْبَارَ النُّجُوْمِ ‘‘} is the mention of Fajr prayer. (And Allah knows best)
