Yahya related to me from Malik thatYahya Ibn Said used to say; Even if someone manages to pray before the time of the prayer has passed; the time that has passed him by is more important; or better; than his family and wealth. Yahya said that Malik said; If the time for a prayer comes and a traveller delays a prayer through neglect or forgetfulness until he reaches his family; he should do that prayer in full if he arrives within the time. But if he arrives when the time has past; he should do the travelling prayer. That way he only repays what he owes. Malik said; This is what I have found the people and men of knowledge doing in our community. Malik explained that shafaq was the redness in the sky after the sun had set; and said; When the redness has gone then the isha prayer is due and you have left the time of maghrib.
