Answer:
As for what is harmful in this narration, there is a point of consideration regarding the poetry. Yes. Yes. What is it? There is a difference of opinion, and the majority hold that it is not prayed, but the correct view is that it is prayed. If the sun is eclipsed after the afternoon prayer, the correct view is that it is prayed; because it is among the causes. As for the dawn, it is a matter of consideration; because the moon’s authority has passed and the day has come. So whoever prays, there is no blame on him, if he prays a light prayer before the dawn prayer. And whoever does not pray, there is no blame on him.
As for the afternoon prayer, it is the time of the sun; this is its authority, and it has a time for prayer; because it is among those with causes. This is the correct view; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When you see that, hasten to pray, even if it is after the afternoon prayer.” Yes. He prays before the dawn, he prays before the dawn a light prayer, when the end of the night is revealed, or at the appearance of the dawn, or after the appearance of the dawn. If he prays it, there is no harm, due to the general texts. But he prays a light prayer so that it does not interfere with the dawn prayer.

May Allah bless you, O Shaykh.
