حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ هِشَامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ ‏ "‏ حَبَسُونَا عَنْ صَلاَةِ الْوُسْطَى حَتَّى غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ مَلأَ اللَّهُ قُبُورَهُمْ وَبُيُوتَهُمْ أَوْ أَجْوَافَهُمْ ـ شَكَّ يَحْيَى ـ نَارًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of offering the middle prayer on time. It is narrated by Ali ibn Abi Talib that on the day of Al-Khandaq, when Muslims were engaged in a battle with their enemies, they were prevented from offering their middle prayer until sunset. This made Prophet Muhammad ﷺ angry and he expressed his displeasure at this act by wishing that Allah fill their graves or houses with fire. This hadith teaches us to be punctual in our prayers and not to delay them for any reason whatsoever. We should also remember that Allah is watching us all the time and He will punish those who do not offer their prayers on time or neglect them altogether.
