Pray on time, Strive hard, Be punctual with all duties

This hadith is about the timing of offering the 'Asr prayer. It is narrated by Anas bin Malik that Prophet Muhammad used to offer this prayer at a time when the sun was still hot and high, even if one went to Al-'Awali of Medina which was about four miles away from the town. This hadith teaches us that it is important for Muslims to pray on time and not delay it until later in order for them to reap its rewards. It also teaches us that we should strive hard in fulfilling our religious obligations no matter how far we have to travel or how difficult it may seem. Furthermore, this hadith encourages us not only in praying on time but also in being punctual with all our other duties as well.
