Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever, after performing the Fajr prayer, sits at his prayer place until he performs the Duha prayer, and during this period speaks only good words, his sins will be forgiven, even if they are more than the foam of the sea.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Fajr prayer, he would remain seated on his prayer mat until the sun had risen well or had become high.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever catches one rak‘ah of the prayer, indeed he has caught the whole prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs one rak‘ah of the Fajr prayer before sunrise, then that prayer will not be missed for him; similarly, whoever performs two rak‘ahs of the ‘Asr prayer before sunset, then that prayer will not be missed for him. In another narration, it is stated: then he will have attained it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs one rak‘ah of the Fajr prayer before sunrise, and then the sun rises, he should complete the second rak‘ah with it.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever catches one rak'ah of the Asr prayer before sunset and one rak'ah of the Fajr prayer before sunrise, he has attained both these prayers.

Under this chapter, the following sub-chapters and hadiths have been mentioned.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me from the knowledge that Allah Almighty has granted you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you have performed the Fajr prayer, refrain from further prayer until the sun rises. When it is rising, do not pray until it has fully risen, for it rises between the two horns of Satan, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it. When it has risen to the height of one or two spears, then pray, for indeed the angels are present at that prayer. When the spear stands upright over its shadow, refrain from prayer, for at that time Hell is kindled. When the shadow returns (from the west to the east), then pray, for the prayer at this time is attended (by angels), until you perform the Asr prayer. When you have performed the Asr prayer, refrain from further prayer until the sun sets, for it sets between the two horns of Satan, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka’b bin Murrah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I said,“O Messenger of Allah! At which part of the night is supplication most heard?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“In the last third of the night.”Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Then there is the prayer that is accepted, until the Fajr prayer is performed; after that, there is no prayer, until the sun rises to the height of one or two spears. After that, it is the time for accepted prayer, until the shadow stands with the spear; then there is no prayer, until the sun declines. Then it is the time for accepted prayer, until the sun remains raised to the height of one or two spears; then there is no prayer until it sets.”Furthermore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“When you wash your face (in ablution), the errors will come out from your face; when you wash your arms, the sins will come out from your arms; and when you wash your feet, the sins will come out from your feet.”

Sayyiduna Abu Abdullah Sanabahi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Verily, the sun rises between the two horns of Satan, so when it becomes high, he separates from it. Then when the sun reaches the middle of the sky, Satan joins it, and when it declines, he separates from it. And when it is about to set, Satan joins it again, and when it sets, he separates from it. Therefore, do not perform prayer during these three times.
