554. Narrated Qais: Jarīr said, "We were with the Prophet ﷺ and he looked at the moon on a full-moon night and said, 'Certainly you will see your Lord as you see this moon and you will have no trouble in seeing Him. So if you can avoid missing (through sleep or business, etc.) a Ṣalāt (prayer) before the sunrise (Fajr) and a Ṣalāt (prayer) before sunset (Aṣr), you must do so.' He then recited Allāh's Statement: '...And glorify the Praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before (its) setting'. (V.50:39) Ismā'il said, "Offer those prayers and do not miss them." (1) (Ch.15) The one who does not offer the 'Aṣr prayer intentionally until its stated time is over and if he offers the prayers after that time, then it is useless.

554 - حَدَّثَنَا الحُمَيْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى القَمَرِ لَيْلَةً - يَعْنِي البَدْرَ - فَقَالَ: «إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ، كَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذَا القَمَرَ، لاَ تُضَامُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ لاَ تُغْلَبُوا عَلَى صَلاَةٍ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا فَافْعَلُوا» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ الغُرُوبِ} [ق: 39]، قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ: «افْعَلُوا لاَ تَفُوتَنَّكُمْ»
