حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، وَعَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، وَعَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، يُحَدِّثُونَهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنَ الصُّبْحِ رَكْعَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصُّبْحَ وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ رَكْعَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الْعَصْرَ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ أَصْحَابُنَا وَالشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ ‏.‏ وَمَعْنَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عِنْدَهُمْ لِصَاحِبِ الْعُذْرِ مِثْلُ الرَّجُلِ يَنَامُ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ أَوْ يَنْسَاهَا فَيَسْتَيْقِظُ وَيَذْكُرُ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَعِنْدَ غُرُوبِهَا ‏.‏

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Isḥāq ibn Mūsā al-Anṣārī narrated to us: Maʿn narrated to us: Mālik ibn Anas narrated to us, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from ʿAṭāʾ ibn Yasār, Busṣr ibn Saʿīd, and al-Aʿraj, who all reported to him from Abū Hurayrah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever catches one rakʿah of Ṣubḥ before the sun rises has caught Ṣubḥ; and whoever catches one rakʿah of ʿAṣr before the sun sets has caught ʿAṣr.” There is also a report on this topic from ʿĀʾishah. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of Abū Hurayrah is hasan sahih. Our scholars, al-Shāfiʿī, Aḥmad, and Isḥāq held this view. In their understanding, this hadith concerns someone with an excuse, such as a person who slept through a prayer or forgot it and then woke or remembered at sunrise or sunset.

  • ‏ وَمَعْنَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عِنْدَهُمْ لِصَاحِبِ الْعُذْرِ مِثْلُ الرَّجُلِ يَنَامُ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ أَوْ يَنْسَاهَا فَيَسْتَيْقِظُ وَيَذْكُرُ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَعِنْدَ غُرُوبِهَا ‏.

    The compiler explains the one-rakʿah rule as applying to an excused person who wakes or remembers at sunrise or sunset.

    No decision requested; the limitation is explicitly attributed to the scholars’ interpretation.
