The Hadiths of the Rawatib and the Sunnah of 'Asr
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Allah.
The questioner:
He was asked about the Sunnah of 'Asr: Is there a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding it, and what is the correct position among the scholars' disagreement on it? He answered: Praise be to Allah. As for what is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it is the hadith of Ibn 'Umar: "I memorized from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) Sunan an-Nasa'i 1794Hasan (Darussalam)" Also, in the Sahih, it is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
The Shaykh:
These are the rawatib, these twelve rawatib: four before the midday prayer, and two after it, two after the sunset prayer, two after the night prayer, and two before the dawn prayer, as narrated by Umm Habibah and others, and 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said in the Sahih: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan an-Nasa'i 1758Sahih (Darussalam)" So these are twelve. It was said that these are the rawatib that one should be consistent with; one should be consistent with them and maintain them. If one adds and prays four after the midday prayer, that is also better, due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Bulugh al-Maram 2:262 But four after the midday prayer are not a rawatib; the rawatib is two. If one adds and prays four, that is better. The hadith: "May Allah have mercy on a woman who prayed four before 'Asr" — it is not a rawatib, but it is recommended. He prayed the two rak'ahs of the dawn prayer after the adhan in his house, then went to the mosque to pray the greeting of the mosque. If he came to the mosque, he prayed the greeting of the mosque, two rak'ahs. If he prayed (may Allah be pleased with him) in his house and came to the mosque, he prayed two rak'ahs as the greeting of the mosque. Yes. Here, Ibn 'Umar did not memorize the four, and 'Aishah memorized the four, and the one who memorizes is preferred over the one who does not. 'Aishah memorized four before the midday prayer, and she has an addition, and Umm Habibah likewise, and a group of others.
Allah.

من صلى فيtwelve rak'ahs as voluntary prayer, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise. And in the Sunan, its interpretation is given as: four before the midday prayer, and two after it, and two after the sunset prayer, and two after the night prayer, and two before the dawn prayer,
يوم وليلة اثنتي عشرة ركعة تطوعا بنى الله له بيتا في الجنة، وجاء في السنن تفسيره أربعا قبل الظهر، وركعتين بعدها، وركعتين بعد المغرب، وركعتين بعد العشاء، وركعتين قبل الفجر،The Shaykh:

would not omit four rak'ahs before Zuhr
لا يدع أربعا قبل الظهر،Whoever prays regularly four Rak'at before and four Rak'at after the Zuhr prayer, Allah will forbid for him (from entering) the Hellfire.
من حافظ على أربع قبل الظهر وأربع بعدها حرمه الله على النار،
