حافظوا على الصلوات والصلاة الوسطى. [193] قوله تعالى: {حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلاةِ الْوُسْطَى..} الآية:238

Ditemui beberapa pendapat, ada yang mengatakan salat asar, subuh, zuhur atau selainnya dan disebutkan secara khusus karena keistimewaannya	Without Prayer it would be impossible for men to persist in observing the laws of God, and they would likely be swept away by a current of defiance and disobedience, as happened in the case of the Jews
The opinion of the majority, seems to he inclined in favour of the Afternoon 'Asr Prayer	On that occasion the Prophet said: 'God fill the graves and houses of these people with fire

Hence the expression could legitimately be interpreted both in the sense of the middle Prayer as well as in the sense of the Prayer which is performed at the right time and with full devotion and attention to God, a Prayer which contains all the attributes of excellence.

It seems more likely, however, that the Prophet meant that the cares of the battle had prevented him and his followers from performing the Prayer in an excellent way; the delay in the Prayer meant that instead of praying with equanimity, concentration and total devotion, they were forced by circumstances to pray hurriedly	Italiano - Piccardo : Siate assidui alle orazioni e all'orazione mediana e devotamente state ritti davanti ad Allah•
