Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Praise be to Allah. My teacher, in Sahih al-Jami' there is a hadith:
Whoever sleeps through a prayer or forgets it, let him pray it when he remembers it at its time the next day من نام عن صلاة أو نسيها فليصلها إذا ذكرها لوقتها من الغد
, what is the intended meaning of
at its time the next day لوقتها من الغد
? What is the purpose of that?

The Shaykh : You need to combine this hadith with the other hadith: let him pray it when he remembers it, and let him pray it tomorrow at its time.

The questioner : Yes, yes.

The Shaykh: Did you understand me?

The questioner : Yes, yes, my teacher.

The Shaykh : Okay, something else.

The questioner : My teacher, please repeat that, excuse me.

The Shaykh : By saying: This hadith is not addressing a forgotten prayer, but rather the prayer of the following day. So on the following day, the Messenger of Allah commands that the prayer of the following day be prayed at its time, and that he not let it pass him as he let the previous one pass. And the previous one, he prays it when he remembers it, while the one following it, he prays it at its time. Is that clear?

The questioner : Clear, my teacher. Our brother Adel here is asking you a second question.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.
