English narration
Narrated by فضالة الليثي
Narrated Fudalah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me and what he taught me is this: Observe the five prayers regularly. He said: I told (him): I have many works at these times; so give me a comprehensive advice which, if I follow, should be enough for me. He said: Observe the two afternoon prayers (al-asrayn). But the term al-asrayn (two afternoon prayers) was not used in our language. Hence I said: What is al-asrayn? He said: A prayer before the sunrise and a prayer before the sunset (i. e. the dawn and the afternoon prayers).
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَرْبِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ فَضَالَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَكَانَ فِيمَا عَلَّمَنِي "
وَحَافِظْ عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : إِنَّ هَذِهِ سَاعَاتٌ لِي فِيهَا أَشْغَالٌ ، فَمُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ جَامِعٍ إِذَا أَنَا فَعَلْتُهُ أَجْزَأَ عَنِّي ، فَقَالَ : حَافِظْ عَلَى الْعَصْرَيْنِ وَمَا كَانَتْ مِنْ لُغَتِنَا ، فَقُلْتُ : وَمَا الْعَصْرَانِ ؟ فَقَالَ : صَلَاةُ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَصَلَاةُ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا
