Chapter 2, Verse 239
حٰفِظُوۡا عَلَی الصَّلَوٰتِ وَالصَّلٰوۃِ الۡوُسۡطٰی ٭ وَقُوۡمُوۡا لِلّٰہِ قٰنِتِیۡنَ ﴿۲۳۹﴾
English Translation
Watch over Prayers, and the middle Prayer, and stand before Allah submissively.
[a]Watch[295] over Prayers, and particularly the middle[296] Prayer, and stand before Allah submissively.
The view that it is ‘Asr Prayer is supported by some of the sayings of the Holy Prophet (Bukhari). It seems to be the Prayer, which happens to fall within busy hours when one is in the middle of engrossing preoccupations. But each Prayer in a sense is “the middle Prayer.”
