Muwatta Malik #22
The Times of Prayer
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that once Umar
ibn al-Khattab left after doing the asr prayer and met a man who had
not been there. Umar asked him what had kept him from the prayer and
eventhough the man gave a good reason, Umar said, "You have given
yourself short measure."
Yahya added that Malik commented,
"It is said that everything has a short measure and a full measure."
