question #1 Sahih Muslim 627c, Book 5, Hadith 256 : What is the significance of the middle prayer in Islam, and how can it be affected by external circumstances?

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: On the day (of the Battle) of Ahzab we were diverted from the middle prayer, till the sun set. May Allah fill their graves or their houses, or their stomachs with fire. The narrator is in doubt about” houses” and” stomachs”.
