1160 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الشُّعَيْثِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ صَلَّى قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ أَرْبَعًا، وَبَعْدَهَا أَرْبَعًا، حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ»

Commentary
a. It has already been mentioned that it is also in order to offer two Rak'ah before the Zuhr (see comment b. on H. 1140). Two Rak'ah can also be offered after Zuhr (H. 1140). It is nevertheless better to offer four Rak'ah each before and after Zuhr. b. We should always hope for mercy from Allāh for anything good we do for His sake, but it would be neither permissible nor proper to be forgetful of Allāh's wrath and punishment, for nobody knows for certain which one of his deeds would be acceptable or unacceptable near Allāh. Similarly, no one but Allāh knows how much more or less the reward of any action that we do shall be.
