—the five daily prayers, and from one Friday to the next—are an expiation for whatever lies between them, provided the major sins are not committed.” (1) Reported by Muslim.

1053 – ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ declare, “Whenever the time for a prescribed prayer arrives for a Muslim and he perfects its ablution, its humility, and its bowing, it becomes an expiation for the sins committed before it, so long as he does not perpetrate a major sin. That holds true for all time.” Reported by Muslim.

188 – Chapter: The Virtue of the Dawn and Afternoon Prayers

1054 – Abu Mūsā (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever performs the two cool prayers shall enter Paradise.” Agreed upon. The two “cool” prayers are the dawn (subḥ) and the afternoon (ʿaṣr).

1055 – Abu Zuhayr ʿImārah ibn Ruwaybah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “No one who prays before the sun rises and before it sets will ever enter the Fire (2),” meaning the dawn and the afternoon prayers. Reported by Muslim.

1056 – Jundub ibn Sufyān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever offers the dawn prayer is under Allah’s protection (3). So, son of Adam, see to it that Allah does not call you to account for violating His protection.” Reported by Muslim (4).

(1) That is, so long as the major sins are not perpetrated. (2) Meaning: he will never enter the Fire. (3) In other words, under His protection. (4) Shaykh Nasir offered no ruling on this hadith. In the versions of Sahih Muslim (1/454) the words “fanthur ya ibn Adam” (so look, O son of Adam) do not appear, while another Muslim narration adds the clause, “fayudrikuhu fayakubbuhu fi nar Jahannam” (it overtakes him and throws him into the Fire of Jahannam).
