Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
I Head More Than One Of The Companions Of The Prophet; Umar Bin Al-Khattab Among, And He Was One Of The Most Beloved Among Them To Me - (Narrating) That Allah'S Messenger Prohibited The Salat After Fajr Until The Sun Had Risen, And The Salat After Asr Until The Sun Had Set.

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 183
This Hadith focuses on prayer times and the times when prayer is prohibited. Ibn Abbas reported that he heard this from more than one Companion, including Umar bin Al-Khattab: Allah's Messenger prohibited prayer after Fajr until the sun had risen, and after Asr until the sun had set. The report is very useful for searches like prayer after Fajr Hadith and prayer after Asr Hadith. The longer text also says many jurists disliked prayer after Subh until sunrise and after Asr until sunset. It also notes that missed prayers may be made up after Asr and after Subh. So the lesson is not to invent a wide rule from one phrase, but to follow the careful wording given in the narration.
What we learn from this hadith
- Voluntary prayer after Fajr is restricted until the sun rises.
- Voluntary prayer after Asr is restricted until the sun sets.
- The text itself makes room for making up missed prayers.
- Prayer times should be treated with care and order.
