وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِأَبِي بَصِيرٍ: «مَا خَدَعُوكَ فِيهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَلاَ يَخْدَعُونَكَ فِي اَلْعَصْرِ صَلِّهَا وَ اَلشَّمْسُ بَيْضَاءُ نَقِيَّةٌ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ «اَلْمَوْتُورُ أَهْلَهُ وَ مَالَهُ مَنْ ضَيَّعَ صَلاَةَ اَلْعَصْرِ» قِيلَ وَ مَا اَلْمَوْتُورُ أَهْلَهُ وَ مَالَهُ قَالَ «لاَ يَكُونُ لَهُ أَهْلٌ وَ لاَ مَالٌ فِي اَلْجَنَّةِ » قِيلَ وَ مَا تَضْيِيعُهَا قَالَ «يَدَعُهَا وَ اَللَّهِ حَتَّى تَصْفَرَّ أَوْ تَغِيبَ اَلشَّمْسُ ».
Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (a.s) said to Abu Basir: "Whatever they may deceive you about, do not let them deceive you about the Asr prayer. Perform it while the sun is still white and clear, for the Messenger of Allah (saws) said: 'The one deprived of his family and wealth is the one who neglects the Asr prayer.' He was asked: 'What does it mean to be deprived of one's family and wealth?' Imam (a.s) said: 'It means that he will have no family or wealth in Paradise.' He was asked: 'What does it mean to neglect it?' Imam (a.s) said: 'By Allah (swt), it means leaving it until the sun turns yellow or sets.'"
