وَعَنْ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ رضى الله عنه
أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَوَّلُ اَلْوَقْتِ رِضْوَانُ اَللَّهُ، وَأَوْسَطُهُ رَحْمَةُ اَللَّهِ; وَآخِرُهُ عَفْوُ اَللَّهِ»
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “The earliest time of prayer is what pleases Allah, the midtime is for the mercy of Allah and the latest time is what Allah pardons.”.
