Explanation of the Book of Prayer-02

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever could get one rak`a (of the Fajr prayer) before sunrise, he has got the (morning) prayer and whoever could get one rak`a of the `Asr prayer before sunset, he has got the (`Asr) prayer. من أدرك من الصبح ركعة قبل أن تطلع الشمس فقد أدرك الصبح ، ومن أدرك ركعة من العصر قبل أن تغرب الشمس فقد أدرك العصر
Sahih al-Bukhari 579
Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. And Muslim narrated from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) to the same effect. He said:
Prostration سجدة
in place of
One rak'ah ركعة
, then he said:
and prostration implies a rak'ah. والسجدة إنما هي الركعة
Sahih Muslim 609
"
His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever manages to do a raka of subh من أدرك ركعة من الصبح
Muwatta Malik 1:5
means that he prayed one rak'ah and then the sun rose, so the first rak'ah is within the time and the second rak'ah is after the time. And his saying:
has caught فقد أدرك
His saying:
Narrated `Amr bin Maimun: I saw `Umar, offering the Fajr (morning) prayer at Jam'; then he got up and said, "The pagans did not use to depart (from Jam') till the sun had risen, and they used to say, 'Let the sun shine on Thabir (a mountain).' But the Prophet (ﷺ) contradicted them and departed from Jam' before sunrise." قبل أن تطلع الشمس
Sahih al-Bukhari 1684
means that the upper horn of the sun becomes distinct, because the time for Fajr ends when the upper horn of the sun becomes distinct, meaning it is not necessary for the whole of it to come out. And his saying:
has caught the Fajr فقد أدرك الصبح
meaning: he caught its time, meaning: as if he prayed it all within the time.
and whoever catches up with a Rak'ah of 'Asr before the sun sets ومن أدرك ركعة من العصر قبل أن تغرب الشمس
Sunan an-Nasa'i 551Sahih (Darussalam)
meaning: before its upper horn sets, or the lower one? The upper one, because it is not true that it has set unless it has completely disappeared.
He has caught the 'Asr. فقد أدرك العصر
And his saying:
One rak'ah ركعة
in both places means with its two prostrations, and the intended meaning is not the bowing, but the complete rak'ah with its two prostrations. And what indicates this is his saying in the second hadith:
Prostration سجدة
pointing to the fact that it is necessary to catch the first and second prostrations so that the catching of the rak'ah is thereby completed.
