Sunan Ibn Majah 1159 (Book 5, Hadith 357) #30511
Making Up Missed Prayers

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) was so busy dealing with the Muhajirun that he was unable to perform his Zuhr prayer on time, but he made up for it by praying two Rakah after 'Asr.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Harith said: "Mu’awiyah sent word to Umm Salamah, and I went with his envoy who put the question to Umm Salamah. She said: 'While the Messenger of Allah was performing ablution for the Zuhr in my house and he had sent a Sa’i,* the Muhajirun gathered around him in large numbers, and he was busy dealing with them. When a knock on the door came, he went out and performed the Zuhr, then he sat and distributed what had been brought to him.’ She said: 'He continued doing that until the 'Asr. Then he came into my house and performed two Rak’ah. Then he said: "The matter of the Sa’i kept me from praying them after Zuhr, so I prayed them after 'Asr".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، قَالَ أَرْسَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ فَسَأَلَ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فِي بَيْتِي لِلظُّهْرِ وَكَانَ قَدْ بَعَثَ سَاعِيًا وَكَثُرَ عِنْدَهُ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَكَانَ قَدْ أَهَمَّهُ شَأْنُهُمْ إِذْ ضُرِبَ الْبَابُ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ يَقْسِمُ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى الْعَصْرِ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مَنْزِلِي فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَشْغَلَنِي أَمْرُ السَّاعِي أَنْ أُصَلِّيَهُمَا بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَصَلَّيْتُهُمَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of making up missed prayers. It is narrated by Abdullah bin Harith that Muawiyah sent an envoy to Umm Salamah and asked her a question. She said that while the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was performing ablution for Zuhr prayer in her house, many Muhajirun gathered around him and he was busy dealing with them. When there was a knock on the door, he went out and performed his Zuhr prayer but then distributed what had been brought to him until 'Asr time came. He then entered her house again and performed two Rakah as Qada for his missed Zuhr prayer due to being preoccupied with other matters. This hadith teaches us that we should not miss our prayers no matter how busy we are or how important other matters may seem at the time; if we do miss them, however, we should make them up as soon as possible afterwards. We must also remember that Allah ï·» will forgive us if we sincerely repent for missing our prayers due to unavoidable circumstances such as this one described in this hadith.
