Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب الصلاة باب ما جاء فى الوقت الأول من الفضل
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجُهَنِىِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِى طَالِبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِى طَالِبٍ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لَهُ يَا عَلِىُّ ثَلاَثٌ لاَ تُؤَخِّرْهَا الصَّلاَةُ إِذَا آنَتْ وَالْجَنَازَةُ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ وَالأَيِّمُ إِذَا وَجَدْتَ لَهَا كُفْؤًا. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ حَسَنٌ.
The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "Aliy! three [things] you should not delay: the prayer when it is due, the funeral [prayer] when it (the enshrouded body) arrives, and [the marriage of] a single woman when you find her a suitable match(1)." Footnotes: (1) A suitable husband: i.e. a man who is similar in religion, freedom, righteousness, and family background and who is able to support his family. Click on ḥadīth to read more

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِىُّ عَنْ أَبِى يَعْفُورٍ عَنِ الْوَليِدِ بْنِ الْعَيْزَارِ عَنْ أَبِى عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِىِّ أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَالَ لاِبْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَىُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ الصَّلاَةُ عَلَى مَوَاقِيتِهَا. قُلْتُ وَمَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَبِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ. قُلْتُ وَمَاذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَالْجِهَادُ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَقَدْ رَوَى الْمَسْعُودِىُّ وَشُعْبَةُ وَسُلَيْمَانُ هُوَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ الشَّيْبَانِىُّ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْعَيْزَارِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ.
A man asked Ibn-Mas'ūd, "Which of the deeds is the most virtuous?" He replied, "I asked the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, about that, and he replied, '[Observing] the prayer at its [appointed] time.' I asked, 'And what else, Messenger of God?' He replied, 'And being dutiful to one's parents.' I asked, 'And what else, Messenger of God?' He said, 'and jihād (striving) in the way of God (1).'" Footnote (1): Jihād is defined as any earnest striving for the sake of God, involving personal, physical, intellectual or military effort, for righteousness and against wrong-doing. In such fighting, no woman, child or innocent civilian may be harmed, nor a tree cut down. Islām calls for moderation and tolerance, and abhors extremism, terrorism, oppression and discrimination.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِى هِلاَلٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلاَةً لِوَقْتِهَا الآخِرِ مَرَّتَيْنِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِمُتَّصِلٍ. قَالَ الشَّافِعِىُّ وَالْوَقْتُ الأَوَّلُ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ أَفْضَلُ. وَمِمَّا يَدُلُّ عَلَى فَضْلِ أَوَّلِ الْوَقْتِ عَلَى آخِرِهِ اخْتِيَارُ النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبِى بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَخْتَارُونَ إِلاَّ مَا هُوَ أَفْضَلُ وَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَدَعُونَ الْفَضْلَ وَكَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ فِى أَوَّلِ الْوَقْتِ. قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الْمَكِّىُّ عَنِ الشَّافِعِىِّ.
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, did not pray any prayer at the end of its [appointed] time twice until God took his life(1). Footnote (1): This means that he generally observed prayers at the desirable times, except for some rare incidents in which he delayed observing prayer until the end of its appointed time to demonstrate admissibility.
