In His Wisdom, Allah (may He be glorified in exalted) has given precedence to some acts of worship over others, because of the unique features that they have, and He has made that a means of gaining admittance to Paradise. Among these deeds is what the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) mentions in this hadith of the virtue of the prayers offered at the two cool times, namely Fajr and ‘Asr. He called them by this name because they occur at times when it is cooler and the weather is more mild, as the air becomes more moist and cool. At the time of ‘Asr, the heat of the day is reduced and it is the beginning of the time of moderate temperatures. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) stated that the one who offers these two prayers properly will enter Paradise. Fajr and ‘Asr are singled out for mention because Fajr comes at a time when people are enjoying sleep, and ‘Asr comes at a time when a person is busy with his work. So the one who regularly offers these two prayers on time will be more likely to regularly offer the other prayers on time too. And it was said that these two prayers were singled out for mention and their importance was emphasized because they are the times when the angels of the night and the angels of the day meet, as the angels take turns to come and ascend to heaven, where they inform Allah of people’s situation, although He knows best about them. Therefore it is more appropriate that one should be in a state of worship at these two times, in order to attain paradise. Allah (may He be exalted) says, confirming that: {and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting} [Qaf 50:39]. This hadith highlights the virtue of regularly offering the prayers of Fajr and ‘Asr on time. It also highlights the great reward for doing acts of worship at times when one may be busy or unaware..
