Sunan Abi Dawud 1204 (Book 4, Hadith 7) #21496
Promptness in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would not wait for the sun to pass the meridian before offering his noon prayer.

Narrated Mishaj b. Musa: I asked Anas b. Malik: Narrate to us what you heard the Messenger of Allah say. He said: When we travelled along with the Messenger of Allah , we would say: Did the sun pass the meridian or not? But he (the Prophet) would offer the noon prayer and then proceed.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْمِسْحَاجِ بْنِ مُوسَى، قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ حَدِّثْنَا مَا، سَمِعْتَ مِنْ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ كُنَّا إِذَا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقُلْنَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَوْ لَمْ تَزُلْ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلَ

This hadith serves as a reminder that Muslims should strive to be punctual when it comes to fulfilling their religious obligations such as salat or jumu'ah prayers, which are among the five pillars of Islam that all Muslims must observe in order to live a life pleasing to Allah SWT.
