One passage at a time. Each column is a commentator; each row gathers the comments on the same words, so readings and emphases can be compared.

حُقُوقٌ فِى الاَوْقَاتِ يُمْكِنُ قَضَاؤُهَا وَحُقُوقُ الاَوْقَاتِ لَا يُمْكِنُ قَضَاؤُهَا اِذْ مَا مِنْ وَقْتٍ يَرِدُ اِلَّا وَلِلَّهِ عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ حَقٌّ جَدِيدٌ وَأَمْرٌ أَكِيدٌ فَكَيْفَ تَقْضِى فِيهِ حَقَّ غَيْرِهِ وَأَنْتَ لَمْ تَقْضِ حَقَّ اللَّهِ فِيهِ

Obligations that fall within the moments can be made up later; but the obligations of the moments themselves cannot be made up. For no moment arrives without God having in it a fresh claim upon you and a binding command. How, then, could you discharge in it what is owed to another moment, when you have not yet discharged God's claim within it?

Whoever misses any of them at the time appointed for it can make it up at another time, since ample room has been granted him in this, so that in it he may recover (*istidrāk*) whatever of those dues escapes him
