Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
He who The
observes Al-Bardan (i.e., Fajr and `Asr prayers) will enter Jannah
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
It is a must for every Muslim to offer every Salat regularly but there are some prayers (
Salat
) which
cannot be performed punctually unless one takes special care of them. This is the reason some additional merits have
been mentioned in this Hadith so that people exercise extra effort for performing them. Of these two is the Fajr
prayer, the performance of which is more difficult than the other prayers because it occurs at a time of rest and deep
sleep. Similar is the case of `Asr prayer, the performance of which is difficult. Due to these reasons, special merits
of these two prayers have been mentioned in this Hadith.

Abu Zuhair `Umarah Ruwaibah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah
(PBUH) saying: "
He who performs Salat (prayers) before the rising of the sun and before its setting, will not enter
the Hell
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
It will be wrong to infer that one who performs these two Salat punctually will be safe from Hell
merely because of his strictness in their observance. A Muslim who will perform all the five Salat punctually, will
be safe from Hell. In this Hadith, Fajr and `Asr prayers have been particularly mentioned because of their special
importance. It is implied that one who takes special care of these two Salat will not show any laxity in the other
ones. He will also be particular in observing the other obligations and Sunnah because it is a must for the salvation
that one should do his best to fulfill all the religious obligations.

Jundub bin Sufyan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
He who
offers the dawn (Fajr) prayers will come under the Protection of Allah. O son of Adam! Beware, lest Allah should
call you to account in any respect from (for withdrawing) His Protection.
''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
One meaning of this Hadith is that one should show energy for the performance of Fajr prayer.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
There are
angels who take turns in visiting you by night and by day, and they all assemble at the dawn (Fajr) and the afternoon
(`Asr) prayers. Those who have spent the night with you, ascend to the heaven and their Rubb, Who knows better
about them, asks: `In what condition did you leave My slaves?' They reply: `We left them while they were
performing Salat and we went to them while they were performing Salat
.'''
