حٰفِظُوۡا عَلَی الصَّلَوٰتِ وَالصَّلٰوۃِ الۡوُسۡطٰی وَقُوۡمُوۡا لِلّٰہِ قٰنِتِیۡنَ
حَافَظَ عَلَیْہِ کے معنے ہیں وَاظَبَ عَلَیْہِ۔ اس پر دوام اختیار کیا۔ رَاقَبَہٗ اس کی نگرانی کی۔ اس کا خیال رکھا۔ اور یہ لفظ باب مفاعلہ میں سے ہے جس کی خاصیت ہے کہ وہ بالمقابل افعال پر دلالت کرتا ہے۔ پس مطلب یہ ہوا کہ تم نمازوں کا خیال رکھو اور ان کی نگرانی کرو۔ نتیجہ یہ ہوگا کہ نماز تمہاری نگرانی کرے گی‘ یعنی اس کے ذریعہ سے تم گناہوں اور غلطیوں سے پاک ہوگے۔ دوسری جگہ اس مضمون کو ان الفاظ میں ادا کیا ہے۔ اِنَّ الصَّلٰوۃَ تَنْھٰی عَنِ الْفَحْشَآءِ وَالْمُنْکَرِ (عنکبوت: ۴۶) یعنی نماز انسان کو بدیوں اور ناپسندیدہ باتوں سے روکتی ہے۔ یہ گویا وہ حفاظت
23:10; 70:35.
After marriage one is apt to become a little lax in Prayers. Besides, family life multiplies the cares of both men and women. Hence, the necessity of urging married people to be more regular and punctual in their Prayers.
The view that it is ‘Asr Prayer is supported by some of the sayings of the Holy Prophet (Bukhari). It seems to be the Prayer, which happens to fall within busy hours when one is in the middle of engrossing preoccupations. But each Prayer in a sense is "the middle Prayer."
23:10; 70:35.
Important Words:
حافظوا (watch) is derived from حفظ. They say حفظه i.e. he preserved it, or he guarded or protected it, or he prevented it from perishing or becoming lost. حفظ القرآن means, he memorized the Quran, i.e. he learned it by heart. حافظ علی الامر means, he watched over the thing; he attended to it carefully and constantly (Taj).
قانتین (submissively) is derived from قنت for which see 2:117. The word conveys, among others, three important meanings: (1) standing motionless, (2) refraining from speech and (3) standing submissively (Lane). All these meanings are applicable here.
Commentary:
This verse which stresses the importance of, and regularity in, Prayers appears to be rather oddly placed, being wedged in between verses relating to conjugal relations. But the very context of it explains the deep philosophy of its meaning. After marriage one is apt to become a little lax in Prayers, particularly the supererogatory Tahajjud Prayer (said in the latter part of the night). Besides, family life multiplies the cares of both man and woman. Hence, the necessity of urging married people to be regular and punctual in their Prayers.
الصلوة الوسطی (the Middle Prayer) has been differently explained. According to some commentators it is the Tahajjud Prayer, and according to others, it is the morning Prayer, while according to yet others, it is the late afternoon or ‘Asr Prayer. The latter view is supported by some of the sayings of the Holy Prophet. For it is on record that on his missing the right time of the ‘Asr Prayer, when engaged in repelling the repeated attacks of the enemy in the Battle of the Ditch, and having been obliged to combine it with the Maghrib or the sunset Prayer, the Holy Prophet is reported to have said: "May God curse the Jews (who were mostly responsible for this battle)! They have prevented us from saying our Middle Prayer in time" (Bukhari). Truly speaking, however, the "Middle Prayer" is the Prayer which happens to fall within busy hours. In the above-quoted tradition, the Holy Prophet called the ‘Asr the "Middle Prayer," because it fell within extraordinarily busy hours. The Quran has placed this verse here to point out firstly, that married life, and for that matter any life however busy, should not make man slack in the observance of Prayers, and secondly, that like this verse, the Middle Prayer is one which is surrounded by apparently incongruous elements. The style is peculiar to the Quran but is quite natural.
The clause, and stand before Allah submissively, teaches that besides aiming at complete concentration in Prayers the worshipper should observe three special injunctions: (1) he should refrain from speech, (2) he should stand motionless and refrain from making any unnecessary movement, and (3) his general attitude should be that of submissiveness, as lack of these is liable to adversely affect concentration and detract from the sanctity of worship.

婚后对拜功易於松懈。此外, 丈夫和妻子都为家务而增加操劳。因此, 必须促使婚后的人们更要按时礼拜。

穆圣几次说到午后拜功 (عَصْر, ‘Asr) 的重要性 (布哈理)。这个拜功看来恰巧是在最忙碌的时候, 那时人们的注意力都集中在要办的事务上。但从某种意义上讲, 每一拜功都是 “中间的拜功。”
