Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Command to establish the Prayer`Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas said,وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَوةَ طَرَفَىِ النَّهَارِ(And perform the Salah, at the two ends of the day) "This is referring to the morning prayer (Subh) and the evening prayer (Maghrib)." The same was said by Al-Hasan and `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam. In one narration reported by Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak and others, Al-Hasan said, "It means the morning prayer (Subh) and the late afternoon prayer (`Asr).
