Sunan an-Nasai 527 (Book 6, Hadith 34) #15135
Praying on Time

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) prayed at the earliest time for Zuhr, 'Asr and Maghrib prayers, and he would delay 'Isha' prayer if people had not gathered yet.

It was narrated that Muhammad bin 'Amr bin Hasan said: "Al-Hajjaj arrived, and we asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah, who said: 'The Messenger of Allah prayed Zuhr at the time of intense heat, 1 and 'Asr when the sun was white and clear, and Maghrib when the sun set, and with 'Isha' it would depend - if he saw that the people had gathered, he would pray early, and if he saw that they had not come yet, he would delay it'." 1 Meaning, at the earliest time.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَسَنٍ، قَالَ قَدِمَ الْحَجَّاجُ فَسَأَلْنَا جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ بِالْهَاجِرَةِ وَالْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ بَيْضَاءُ نَقِيَّةٌ وَالْمَغْرِبَ إِذَا وَجَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْعِشَاءَ أَحْيَانًا كَانَ إِذَا رَآهُمْ قَدِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَجَّلَ وَإِذَا رَآهُمْ قَدْ أَبْطَئُوا أَخَّرَ

Be punctual in your prayers

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of praying on time. It was narrated that Muhammad bin 'Amr bin Hasan said that Al-Hajjaj arrived and they asked Jabir bin 'Abdullah who said that the Messenger of Allah used to pray Zuhr at the earliest time when it was very hot outside, and he would pray Asr when the sun was white and clear. He also prayed Maghrib when the sun set, but with Isha it depended - if he saw that people had gathered then he would pray early but if not then he would delay it. This teaches us how important it is to be punctual in our prayers as this is a sign of faithfulness towards Allah SWT. We should make sure to always be on time for our prayers so we can reap its rewards in this life and hereafter.
