THE VOLUNTARY MID-MORNING PRAYER

1166

“He (Zaid) saw some people offering the voluntary prayer in the early morning and remarked, ‘Would that they knew it is better to offer the voluntary prayer a little later, because the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said, 'The time of the mid-morning prayer for those who turn themselves to Allah is when the calves of the camels are warmed, that is when the sun has risen fairly high.'"

Muslim with a chain up to Zaid the son of Arqam who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
