فَضْلِ صَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ

The virtue of the Asr prayer

كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةً ـ يَعْنِي الْبَدْرَ ـ فَقَالَ " إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ هَذَا الْقَمَرَ 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 الْغُرُوبِ}. قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ افْعَلُوا لاَ تَفُوتَنَّكُمْ.

Translation

Jarir ibn Abdullah reported: We were with the Prophet ﷺ when he looked at the moon one night – meaning the full moon – and said, “You will see your Lord as you see this moon; you will not crowd one another in seeing Him. So if you are able not to be prevented from a prayer before the rising of the sun and before its setting, then do so.” Then he recited, “And glorify your Lord with His praise before the rising of the sun and before the setting.” Isma'il said: Do so, do not let it escape you.

Dscharir ibn Abdullah berichtete: Wir waren beim Propheten ﷺ, da blickte er in einer Nacht zum Mond – gemeint ist der Vollmond – und sagte: „Ihr werdet euren Herrn sehen, wie ihr diesen Mond seht; ihr werdet euch bei Seinem Anblick nicht gegenseitig bedrängen. Wenn ihr es also vermögt, euch nicht davon abbringen zu lassen, ein Gebet vor dem Aufgang der Sonne und vor ihrem Untergang (zu verrichten), dann tut es.“ Dann rezitierte er: „Und lobpreise deinen Herrn mit Seinem Lob vor dem Aufgang der Sonne und vor dem Untergang.“ Isma'il sagte: Tut es, lasst es euch keinesfalls entgehen.

Türkçe

Cerîr b. Abdullah (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî'nin ﷺ yanındaydık. Bir gece aya – yani dolunaya – baktı ve şöyle buyurdu: “Siz bu ayı gördüğünüz gibi Rabbinizi göreceksiniz; O'nu görürken birbirinizi sıkıştırmayacaksınız. Eğer güneş doğmadan önceki ve batmadan önceki namaza yenik düşmemeye gücünüz yetiyorsa, bunu yapın.” Sonra şu âyeti okudu: “Güneşin doğuşundan önce ve batışından önce Rabbini hamd ile tesbih et.” İsmâil şöyle dedi: Bunu yapın, sakın sizden kaçmasın.

Translator’s note: Kur'ân 50:39. İsmâil bu hadisin râvilerinden biridir.
