 216. ´Abdullah bin ´Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Whoever misses the ´Ars prayer (intentionally) is as though he has lost his family and property.´´

 215. Abu Basrah Al-Ghifari narrated: The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam led us in ´Ars prayer at Mukhammas. He said: ´´This prayer (´Ars) was offered to those who were before you, but they lost it. So whoever performs it regularly, he would get its reward twice. And there is no prayer after it (´Ars) until the Shahid rises.´´ [And Al-Shahid means the star.]

 213. Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam used to perform ´Ars prayer at a time when the sun was still high. One would go to Al-Awali and he would reach it when the sun was still high.  214. ´Ala bin Abdur-Rahman said that he went to the house of Anas bin Malik in Basrah after performing the Zuhr. His house was bu the side of the mosque. When we visited him, he said: ´´Have you performed the ´Ars?´´´We said to him: ´´It is just few minutes before that we finished the Zuhr.´´ He said: ´´Pray the ´Ars.´´ So we stood up an performed our prayer. And when we finished, he said: ´´I have heard the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam saying: ´This is how the hypocrite´s prayer is: he sits and watches the sun, when it is between the two horns of Satan, he performs four Rak´at quickly during which he remembers Allah only little.´´´

 212. Abu Dhar narrated: The Mu´adhdhin of the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam called the Adhan for the Zuhr. Upon this the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Let it cool down, let it cool down (or he said: Wait, wait),´´ he then said, ´´The severity of heat if from the exhalation of Hell. When the heat is severe, delay the prayer until it becomes cooler.´´ Abu Dhar said: (We waited) until one could see the shadow of the hillocks.

 211. Khabbab narrated: We came to the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam and companined to him about (offering prayer on) the extreme heat of the ground (or sand), but he paid no heed to us. Zuhair said: I asked Abu Ishaq, ´´Whether it was about the Zuhr prayer?´´ He said, ´´Yes.´´ I again asked, ´´Whether it was in its earlier hour?´´ He said, ´´Yes.´´

 Aishah narrated that the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam did not leave performing two Rak´ak after ´Ars prayer. (the narrator said) she also said that the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Do not perform prayer at the time of sunrise and sunset.´´
