Asr: Mid-Afternoon Reflect on this event. God's messenger went on a summer day to the Salamah quarters at the north end of Madinah, the furthest quarters from his mosque just to join the people and share their delight at slaughtering a camel. I imagine that he went walking only to please the people and add to their happiness. The event thus was transformed from merely slaughtering a camel to a visit by the Prophet and sharing with them their delightful occasion. The Salamah people must have talked about this occasion for a long time. How kind, benevolent and warm-hearted Prophet Muhammad was! He appears keen to seize every pleasant opportunity in order to increase people's delight and happiness. It is this characteristic that gave him his unique position in the lives of his companions.
After Sunset When Maghrib prayer was called, the Prophet stayed only a short while before he came out. He would find his companions close to the pillars of the mosque, praying its voluntary prayer of two rak 'ahs, as he encouraged them to do. He used to tell them: "Pray two rak 'ahs before the Maghrib prayer." He repeated this three times, but added after the third time, "if you wish". These are two short rak 'ahs, because the time between the adhan and the start of the congregational prayer at Maghrib was very short. When the Prophet came into the mosque the prayer was called and he immediately started. He used to pray Maghrib at the beginning of its time range and finished it before the fall of darkness. It is said that when a person left the mosque after Maghrib, the light was still abundant. If he threw an arrow, he could see where it landed. His recitation of the Qur'an in Maghrib and his prayer was mostly short. He might read a long passage, but this was rare. He once read in Maghrib Surah 7, "The Heights",32 and on another occasion he recited Surah 52, "Mount Sinai". Maghrib was the last prayer he led before he passed away. On that occasion, he recited Surah 77, "Sent Forth". The Prophet did not sit to talk to his companions after Maghrib as he talked to them after other prayers in the day. This was due to the fact that people needed to go home for their dinner and to rest. When he finished the obligatory prayer, he returned home and offered a prayer of two rak 'ahs which is the regular recommended prayer. He would then have his dinner, as this was their regular dinner time. They might dine before offering Maghrib prayer, if they were fasting. Hence, the Prophet said: "If dinner is brought forth, start with it before you offer Maghrib. Do not place it ahead of your dinner." 32 Surah 7 is the fourth longest surah in the Qur'an, running into 26 pages, while Surah 52 runs into 2.5 pages. Surah 77 only 1.5 pages and the Prophet divided it in the first two rak 'abs. 54
