It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was no one who performed the ‘Asr prayer earlier than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). There were two men among the Ansar whose houses were the farthest from the Prophet’s Mosque; one man was Sayyiduna Abu Lubabah bin ‘Abd al-Mundhir (may Allah be pleased with him), whose house was in Quba, and the other was Sayyiduna Abu ‘Isa bin Jabr (may Allah be pleased with him), whose house was in Banu Harithah. Both of them used to perform the ‘Asr prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and when they reached their homes, they had not yet performed this prayer, meaning the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform it so early.
