Mentioning the best of the five prayers.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : The best of the five prayers is the 'Asr prayer, because Allah the Exalted mentioned it specifically when He commanded the preservation of the prayers, saying:

Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle prayer and stand before Allah, devoutly obedient.

حافظوا على الصلوات والصلاة الوسطى وقوموا لله قانتين

[Al-Baqarah 2:238]

. The middle prayer is the 'Asr prayer, as this hadith indicates.
