Sunan Abi Dawud 414 (Book 2, Hadith 24) #20705
The Importance of the 'Asr Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith emphasizes the importance of the 'Asr prayer and warns against missing it, comparing it to a person whose family and property have been destroyed.

Ibn 'Umar reported the Messenger of Allah as saying: Anyone who loses his 'Asr prayer is like a person whose family has perished and whose property has been plundered. Abu Dawud said: 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar narrated the word utira (instead of wutira, meaning perished). The dispute on this point goes back to Ayyub. Al-Zuhri reported from Salim on the authority of this father from the Prophet the word 'wutira'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ الَّذِي تَفُوتُهُ صَلاَةُ الْعَصْرِ فَكَأَنَّمَا وُتِرَ أَهْلَهُ وَمَالَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ‏"‏ أُتِرَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَاخْتُلِفَ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ فِيهِ وَقَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ وُتِرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes how important it is to perform the 'Asr prayer, which is one of five daily prayers in Islam. It warns against missing this prayer by comparing it to a person whose family and property have been destroyed. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was emphasizing that if someone misses their 'Asr prayer, they are essentially losing out on something very important in their life. He was also teaching us that we should prioritize our religious obligations over worldly matters, as they are more important in the long run.
