It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In my view, remembering Allah at the time of sunrise—saying Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah, and Subhan Allah—is better than freeing four slaves from among the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him). Similarly, remembering Allah from the Asr prayer until sunset is, in my view, better than freeing so many slaves from among the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him).
