I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Messenger of Allah, who has accepted Islam?"He replied, "A free man and a slave."I then asked, "Is there any hour closer to Allah Most High than another?"He answered, "The latter part of the night. Pray as much as you wish until you pray the dawn prayer, then stop praying until the sun rises and remains like a shield, until it spreads its light. Then pray as much as you wish until the shadow of an upright pole stands equal to it, then stop praying until the sun passes the meridian, for Hell is stoked up at midday. Then pray as much as you wish until you pray the afternoon prayer, then stop praying until the sun sets, for it sets between the two horns of Satan and rises between the two horns of Satan.When a servant performs ablution and washes his hands, his sins fall away from his hands. When he washes his face, his sins fall away from his face. When he washes his forearms and wipes his head, his sins fall away from his forearms and his head. When he washes his feet, his sins fall away from his feet. Then when he rises to pray, with his heart and his face, or his entire being, turned toward Allah , he departs as on the day his mother gave birth to him."It was said to him, "Did you yourself hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?"He replied, "Had I not heard it once, twice, ten times, or twenty times, I would not be relating it."
حدثنا محمد بن جعفر حدثنا شعبة عن يعلى بن عطاء عن يزيد بن طلق عن عبد الرحمن بن البيلماني
أتيت رسول الله ﷺ قلت يا رسول الله من أسلم قال حر وعبد قال فقلت وهل من ساعة أقرب إلى الله تعالى من أخرى قال جوف الليل الآخر صل ما بدا لك حتى تصلي الصبح ثم انهه حتى تطلع الشمس وما دامت كأنها حجفة حتى تنتشر ثم صل ما بدا لك حتى يقوم العمود على ظله ثم انهه حتى تزول الشمس فإن جهنم تسجر لنصف النهار ثم صل ما بدا لك حتى تصلي العصر ثم انهه حتى تغرب الشمس فإنها تغرب بين قرني شيطان وتطلع بين قرني شيطان فإن العبد إذا توضأ فغسل يديه خرت خطاياه من بين يديه فإذا غسل وجهه خرت خطاياه من وجهه فإذا غسل ذراعيه ومسح برأسه خرت خطاياه من بين ذراعيه ورأسه وإذا غسل رجليه خرت خطاياه من رجليه فإذا قام إلى الصلاة وكان هو وقلبه ووجهه أو كله نحو الوجه إلى الله عز وجل انصرف كما ولدته أمه قال فقيل له أأنت سمعت هذا من رسول الله ﷺ قال لو لم أسمعه مرة أو مرتين أو عشرا أو عشرين ما حدثت به
