his deeds are rendered void. Narrated by al-Bukhārī and Ibn Mājah. He said: This prayer was presented to those before you, but they neglected it; so whoever maintains it shall have his reward twice, and there is no prayer after it until the star rises, meaning the planet. Narrated by al-Bukhārī. As for what was mentioned regarding the morning prayer, the ʿAṣr prayer has shared in most of it, and the narration of ʿĀʾisha, and the ʿAṣr prayer, the wāw is extra, like the wāw in His saying, the Exalted: And that he may be among the certain, and in His saying: And the seal of the prophets, and His saying: And stand before God in devout obedience. As for qunūt, it has been said: It is obedience, meaning: stand before God obediently. It has also been said: Qunūt is silence. Zayd ibn Arqam said: We used to speak during prayer until there was revealed: And stand before God in devout obedience, so we were commanded
