Islam Invite to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided." Holy Qur'an 16:125 |

The mercy found in sunnah prayers before Asr
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “ May Allah have mercy on the person whom prays four (Rak’ahs ) before Asr. “Collected by An-Nisa’i (1271) At-Tirmith (296) graded as being Saheeh by Ibn Khuzaymah and Ibn Hibban .
Benefits for this topic: The place in Islam for this Prayer: • Badrudeen ‘Al-Aynee (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “ Based onthis hadeeth the ulema view four rak’ah before Asr as being Sunnah.” Explanation for Sunnan Abu Dawud for the aforementioned hadeeth] • Shaykh Saleem Al-Hilalee (may Allah bless him) said: Praying four Rak’ah before Asr is a recommended act in Islam.” [ Explanation for Riyadus Salaheen hadeeth # 1121] The exact time for this prayers: • This prayer should be performed between the Athan and iqamah at Asr. The Virtue of these Rak’ah: • Shaykh Zayd Al-Madkhalee (may Allah preserve him) wrote: “ It is recommended for the Muslim to urge his soul to desire his Lord’s gifts. He can earn them by safeguarding these four Rak’ah before Asr. A Muslim should also aspire other Muslims to pray this prayer. Although this prayer isn’t among the supererogatory prayers they still have a high reward and great merit. These Rak’ah are easy prey, so no one should fall short in practicing them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed the Muslims about this prayer through his speech and action. He (peace and blessings be upon him) May Allah have mercy on the person who prays four rak’ah before Asr. This is a blessed supplication in that hadeeth for the person who prays four rak’ah before Asr, maintains this practice, and takes them seriously. [ Al-Afanud Nadeeyah vol 2/178] • Shaykh Saleem Al-Hilalee (may Allah preserve him) said: “ Regularly praying the supererogatory prayers is a reason to earn Allah’s mercy.[ Explanation for Riyadus Salaheen # 1120 An issue that causes some confusion: In one hadeeth the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)said ,” May Allah have mercy on the person who prays four Rak’ah before Asr.” and in another narration Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray two Rak’ah before Asr.” . Both of these hadeeth are in Abee Dawud’s sunnah. Answer : The hadeeth for praying two rak’ah at Asr instead of four is weak.It’s known as being shath. Allah knows best. •Translated and compiled by Abu Aaliyah Abdullah ibn Dwight Battle Doha, Qatar 1431 (c) |
