It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would perform the ‘Asr prayer when the sun was white and had a halo. Then I would return to my family and relatives, who were in a corner of Madinah, and I would go to them and say: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) has performed the prayer, so you too get up and perform the prayer.
