EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of offering 'Asr prayer on time. It was narrated by Anas b. Malik that they used to offer this prayer and then go to Quba' and reach there while the sun was still high in the sky. This shows that they were punctual in their prayers and did not delay them even for a few minutes. It also teaches us that we should be mindful of our time when it comes to fulfilling our religious obligations such as praying on time or performing Hajj or Umrah at their appointed times. We should also strive to make sure that we are punctual with all our duties so as not to miss out on any blessings from Allah SWT due to negligence or procrastination.
