أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَائِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَعَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَعَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ يُحَدِّثُونَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ أَدْرَکَ رَکْعَةً مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَکَ الصُّبْحَ وَمَنْ أَدْرَکَ رَکْعَةً مِنْ الْعَصْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَکَ الْعَصْرَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 521
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Whoever catches up with a Rak’ah of the Subh prayer before the sun rises, then he has caught up with Subh, and whoever catches up with a Rak’ah of ‘Asr prayer before the sun sets, then he has caught up with ‘Asr.” (Sahih)
