سُوْرَةُ طٰهٰ
Surah Taa-Haa (20) — Ayah 130
فَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا ۖ وَمِنْ ءَانَآئِ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَأَطْرَافَ ٱلنَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضَىٰ ﴿130﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
So bear patiently (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) what they say, and glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting, and during some hours of the night, and at the ends of the day (an indication for the five compulsory congregational prayers), that you may become pleased (with the reward which Allâh shall give you).

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
130. 1. According to some commentators, "tasbih" refers to prayer, and they interpret it as referring to the five daily prayers: before sunrise is Fajr, before sunset is Asr, the hours of the night are Maghrib and Isha, and "at the two ends of the day" refers to the Zuhr prayer, because the time of Zuhr is at the end of the first part and the beginning of the last part of the day. And according to some, at these times, it means to glorify and declare the oneness of Allah in such a way that includes prayer, recitation, remembrance, supplication, intimate conversation, and voluntary prayers—all are included. The meaning is that you should not be disheartened by the denial of these polytheists. Continue to glorify and praise Allah. Whenever Allah wills, He will seize them.
