It's usually thought that Al-Salat Al-Wusta ( The Middle Prayer) in
2:238
Guard strictly your (habit of) prayers, especially the Middle
Prayer; and stand before Allah in a devout (frame of mind).
is further defined in 17:78
Establish regular prayers - at the sun's decline till the
darkness
of the night, and the morning prayer and reading: for the prayer
and
reading in the morning carry their testimony.
That is, that the middle prayer is one said between noon and sunset,
just like the shortest of the Bahai obligatory prayers. The dhuhr and
`asr prayers are said at this time
Others believe that the reference is to moderation

All is to be yielded up, save only the *remembrance* of God;
all is to be dispraised, except His praise.
Today, to this melody of the Company on high,
the world will leap and dance:
`Glory be to my Lord, the All-Glorious!'
(Selections from the Writings of `Abdu'l-Baha, p. 93)
