question #2 Sahih Muslim 621a, Book 5, Hadith 242 : How does the practice of praying at specific times reflect on the discipline in Islamic worship?

Anas b. Malik reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray the afternoon prayer when the sun was high and bright, then one would go off to al-‘Awali and get there while the sun was still high. Ibn Qutaiba made no mention of” one would go off to al-‘Awali”.
