وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ يَذْهَبُ الذَّاهِبُ إِلَى قُبَاءٍ فَيَأْتِيهِمْ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ ‏.‏
We used to offer the 'Asr prayer, then one would go to Quba' and reach there and the sun would be still high.
Narrated by Anas b. Malik reported:

Context

Anas b. Malik recounts that the companions would perform the 'Asr prayer and then head to Quba', arriving while the sun was still high.

The takeaway is the significance of maintaining a routine of prayer and additional good deeds.

Modern Application
