Sahih al-Bukhari 946 (Book 12, Hadith 5) #916
Praying on the Way

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) instructed his followers to pray at Bani Quraiza, but some of them decided to pray on the way due to time constraints. The Prophet (ﷺ) did not blame anyone for their decision.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: When the Prophet returned from the battle of Al-Ahzab (The confederates), he said to us, "None should offer the 'Asr prayer but at Bani Quraiza". The 'Asr prayer became due for some of them on the way. Some of them decided not to offer the Salat but at Bani Quraiza while others decided to offer the Salat on the spot and said that the intention of the Prophet was not what the former party had understood. And when that was told to the Prophet he did not blame anyone of them.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْمَاءَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ لَنَا لَمَّا رَجَعَ مِنَ الأَحْزَابِ ‏ "‏ لاَ يُصَلِّيَنَّ أَحَدٌ الْعَصْرَ إِلاَّ فِي بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَدْرَكَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْعَصْرَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لاَ نُصَلِّي حَتَّى نَأْتِيَهَا، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَلْ نُصَلِّي لَمْ يُرَدْ مِنَّا ذَلِكَ‏.‏ فَذُكِرَ لِلنَّبِيِّ فَلَمْ يُعَنِّفْ وَاحِدًا مِنْهُمْ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of prayer and how it should be done in a timely manner. It was narrated by Ibn 'Umar that when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ returned from the battle of Al-Ahzab, he instructed his followers to offer their Asr prayer at Bani Quraiza. However, some people were running late and decided to offer their prayers on the way instead. When this was reported back to him, he did not blame them for their decision as they had good intentions and were trying their best in a difficult situation. This teaches us that we should always strive our best in fulfilling our religious obligations even if we are facing time constraints or other difficulties along the way. We should also remember that Allah is most merciful and will forgive us if we have good intentions even if we make mistakes or cannot fulfill all our obligations due to certain circumstances beyond our control.
