684 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ ابْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ: «مَلَأَ اللَّهُ بُيُوتَهُمْ وَقُبُورَهُمْ نَارًا، كَمَا شَغَلُونَا عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى»

Commentary
Loss in religious matters is greater than loss in worldly affairs. The 'Asr' prayer has greater importance than other prayers. The very tongue that had remained silent at the trials of Tāif, was forced to invoke Allāh's wrath upon the invading idolaters when the events of the battle of the Confederates (also known as the battle of Trench) distracted the believers from offering the 'Asr' prayer on time. He ﷺ was so angry at this failure, that he besought Allāh to fill the infidels' houses and graves with fire. In it perhaps, is sufficient food for thought for those who miss their prayers just out of laziness, or because of their indulgence in sports or business activities. How reprehensible will this act of theirs be to Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ! May Allāh protect us all from His wrath!
