We mention some famous incidents related to Surah Al-Asr

1. It is Narrated to Hazrat Abu Huraira that:

Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) said, “Angels come to you in succession by night and day, and all of them get together at the time of the Fajr and Asar prayers. Those who have passed the night with you (or stayed with you) ascend (to the Heaven), and Allah asks them, though He knows everything about you, well, “In what state did you leave my slaves?” The angel’s reply: “When we left them, they were praying, and when we reached them, they were praying.”

(Sahih al-Bukhari: 555)

2. Narrated to Hazrat Salim bin Abdullah that :

My father said, “I heard Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) saying, ‘The period of your stay compared to the previous nations is like the period equal to the time between the Asar prayer and sunset. The people of the Torah were given the Torah, and they acted (upon it) till midday. Then, they were exhausted and were given one Qirat (of gold) each. And then the people of the Gospel were given the Gospel, and they acted (upon it) till the Asar prayer then they were exhausted and were! Given one Qirat each. And then we were given the Quran, and we acted (upon it) till sunset, and we were given two Qirats each. On that, the people of both the scriptures said, O our Allah! You have given them two Qirats and one Qirat, though we have worked more than they.’ Allah said, Have I usurped some of your rights? They said, ‘No.’ Allah said: “That is my blessing I bestow upon whomsoever I wish.

(Sahih al-Bukhari: 557)

3. Narrated to Hazrat Abdullah bin Abi Qatada(RA):

My father said, “The Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) in Duhr prayers used to recite Al-Fatiha along with two other Suras in the first two Rakat: a long one in the first Rakat and a shorter (Sura) in the second, and at times the verses were audible. In the Asar prayer, The Holy Prophet (PBUH) used to recite Surah Al-Fatiha and two more Suras in the first two Rakat and prolonged the first Rakat. And he used to prolong the first Rakat of the Fajr prayer and shorten the second.

(Sahih al-Bukhari: 759)

4. Narrated to Qais that:

Jarir said, “We were with the Prophet (PBUH), and he looked at the moon full-moon and said. Certainly, you will see your Lord as you see this moon, and you will have no trouble seeing Him. So if you can avoid missing (through sleep or business) a prayer before the sun-rise (Fajr) and a prayer before sunset (Asar), you must do so. He then recited Allah’s Statement: And celebrate the praises Of your Allah before the sun’s rising and before (its) setting. Ismaeel said, “Offer those prayers and do not miss them.

(Sahih al-Bukhari: 554)

Conclusion

In this Surah, Allah Almighty explained that Men typically seek for gain and find loss. The righteous, however, is the exception to this rule. This sura teaches that all people are defeated, except those who have iman (belief in Islam), do righteous deeds and remind others of Haqq (truth, justice, truth), and others think of Sabar (patience). In time (this explains that Allah swears in time).
