English translation

412. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever catches one Rak'ah of Asr before the sun sets, he has caught (the whole prayer), and whoever catches one Rak'ah of Fajr before the sun rises, he has caught (the whole prayer)." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

412 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ رَكْعَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ، وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ رَكْعَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ»

Commentary

Meaning, that the prayer is valid until its time ends, and whoever performed one Rak'ah before its time ends, he has caught its time. But it does not condone delay, as is clear from the following narration.
