We were with the Prophet on a full moon night. He looked at the moon and said, “You will cer –

avoid missing (through sleep, business, etc.) a prayer before the rising of the sun (Fajr) and before its
setting (‘Asr) you must do so. He (the Prophet ) then recited the following verse:

plete the rest of the day and yours will be the wages I had fixed (for the first batch). They worked Up
till the time of the ‘Asr prayer and said, ‘Whatever we have done is for you.’ He employed another
batch. They worked for the rest of the day till sunset, and they received the wages of the two former
batches.”
