Hadith 172

Narrated Abu Mahdhurah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) 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." [Reported by ad-Daraqutni with a very weak Sanad (chain)].

وَعَنْ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-قَالَ: { أَوَّلُ اَلْوَقْتِ رِضْوَانُ اَللَّهُ, وَأَوْسَطُهُ رَحْمَةُ اَللَّهِ; وَآخِرُهُ عَفْوُ اَللَّهِ } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ بِسَنَدٍ ضَعِيفٍ جِدًّا <sup>1</sup>‏ .‏
