The answer

The meaning of the is the Prophet's (peace be upon him) emphasis on preserving prayer at its appointed times and fulfilling the rights of what one possesses, whether human or animal. The Hadith has been narrated with different wordings, including "Prayer and what your right hands possess" and "Prayer, prayer, fear Allah concerning what your right hands possess." Scholars interpret "Prayer, prayer" as implying a verb, meaning "Adhere to prayer," and "what your right hands possess" as showing kindness to slaves and alleviating their burden, which also includes owned animals.
