The Book of
the Times (of Prayer) from Sunan An-Nasa’i
495 It was
narrated from Ibn shihab that ‘Umar bin ‘Abdul-‘Aziz delayed the ‘Asr prayer a
little. ‘Urwah said to him: “Jibril came down and led the Messenger of Allah
(saw) in prayer.” ‘Umar said: “Watch what you are saying, O ‘Urwah!” He said:
“I heard Bashir bin Abi Mas’ud say: ‘I heard Abu Mas’ud say: “I heard the
Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘Jibril came down and led me in prayer, and I
prayed with him, then I prayed with him, then I prayed with him, then I prayed
with him, then I prayed with him – and he counted off five prayers on his
fingers.’” (Sahih)
496 Shu’bah
said: “Sayyar bin Salamah, narrated to us, he said: ‘I heard my father ask Abu
Barzah about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (saw).’ I said: ‘Did you
really hear him?’ He said: ‘I heard my father ask about the prayer of the
Messenger of Allah (saw).’ He said: ‘He would not mind if he delayed it –
meaning ‘Isha’ until midnight, and he did not like to sleep before it or speak
after it.’” Shu’bah said: “Then I met him later on and asked him. He said: ‘He
used to pray Zuhr when the sun had passed its zenith, and (he would pray) ‘Asr
and a man could walk to the farthest point in Al-Madinah and the sun would
still be clear and hot. And Maghrib, I do not know the time he mentioned.’
After that I met him and asked him, and he said: ‘He used to pray Fajr then
after the prayer a man could regarding it, sitting next to him, look at the
face of someone he knew and he could recognize it.’ He said: ‘And he used to
recite in it between sixty and one hundred (verses).’” (Sahih)
497 It was
narrated from Az-Zuhri he said: “Anas told me that the Messenger of Allah (saw)
went out when the sun had passed its zenith, and led them in Zuhr prayer.” (Sahih)
498 It was
narrated that Khabbab said: “We complained to the Messenger of Allah (saw)
about how hot the sand was, but he did not respond to our complaint.” It was
said to Abu Ishaq (one of the narrators): “Did they complain regarding praying
it early?” He said: “Yes.” (Sahih)
499 Hamzah
Al-A’idhi said: “I heard Anas bin Malik say: ‘When the Prophet (saw) halted, he
would not move on until he had prayed Zuhr.’ A man said: ‘Even if it was the
middle of the day?’ He said: ‘Even if it was the middle of the day.’” (Sahih)
500 Khalid bin
Dinar Abu Khaldah said: “I heard Anas bin Malik say: ‘When it was hot, the
Messenger of Allah (saw) would wait until it cooled down to pray, and when it
was cold he would hasten to pray.’” (Sahih)
501 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘If it is
very hot, wait until it cools down before you pray, for intense heat is a
breeze from Hell.’” (Sahih)
502 It was
narrated from Abu Musa in a Marfu’* report: “Wait until it cools down to pray
Zuhr, for the heat you experience is a breeze from Hell.” (Sahih)
*Meaning he attributed it to the Prophet (saw).
503 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: This is
Jibril, peace be upon you, he came to teach you your religion. He prayed Subh
when the dawn appeared, and he prayed Zuhr when the sun had (passed its
zenith), and he prayed ‘Asr when he saw that the shadow of a thing was equal to
its height, then he prayed Maghrib when the sun had set and it is permissible for
the fasting person to eat. Then he prayed ‘Isha’ when the twilight had
disappeared. Then he came to him the following day and prayed Subh when it had
got a little lighter, then he prayed Zuhr when the shadow of a thing was equal
to its height, then he prayed ‘Asr when the shadow of a thing was equal to
twice its height, then he prayed Maghrib at the same time as before, then he
prayed ‘Isha’ when a short period of the night had passed. Then he said: ‘The
prayer is between the times when you prayed yesterday and the times when you
prayed today.’” (Hasan)
504 It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud said: “The Prophet (saw) prayed Zuhr when
the length of (a person’s shadow) was between three and five feet in summer,
and between five and seven feet in winter.” (Sahih)
505 It was
narrated that Jabir said: “A man asked the Messenger of Allah (saw) about the
times of prayer. He said: ‘Pray with me.’ So he prayed Zuhr when the sun had
passed its zenith, ‘Asr when the shadow of a thing was equal to its height,
Maghrib when the sun had set and ‘Isha’ when the twilight had disappeared.” He
said: “Then he prayed Zuhr when the shadow of a man was equal in length to his
height, ‘Asr when the length of a man’s shadow was twice his height, and
Maghrib just before the twilight disappeared.” (One of the narrators) ‘Abdullah
bin Al-Harith said: “Then he said: ‘With regard to ‘Isha’ I think it is up to
one-third of the night.’”* (Hasan)
*The speaker there is Thawr, who narrated it from ‘Ata’
from Jabir.
506 It was
narrated from ‘Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) prayed ‘Asr when the
sun was in her room and the shadow had not appeared on her wall. (Sahih)
507 It was
narrated from Anas: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to pray ‘Asr, then a
person could go to Quba’.” One of them* said: “And he would come to them when
they were praying.” The other said: “And the sun was still high.” (Sahih)
*Both Az-Zuhri and Ishaq bin ‘Abdullah narrated it from
Anas, so the reference is about them.
508 It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to pray
‘Asr when the sun was still high and bright, and a person could go to
Al-‘Awali* when the sun was still high.” (Sahih)
*Al-‘Awali is the southern-most district of Al-Madinah,
and it is very big. Its nearest limit is at a distance of about two miles from
the center of Al-Madinah. While its furthest limit is about eight miles.
509 It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to lead
us in ‘Asr prayer when the sun was still bright and high.”
510 It was
narrated that Abu Bakr bin ‘Uthman bin Sahl bin Hunaif said: “I heard Abu
Umamah bin Sahl say: ‘We prayed Zuhr with ‘Umar bin ‘Abdul-‘Aziz, then we went
out and entered upon Anas bin Malik, and we found him praying ‘Asr.’” I said:
“O uncle, what is this prayer that you prayed?” He said: “Asr; this is the
prayer of the Messenger of Allah (saw) that we used to pray with him.” (Sahih)
511 It was
narrated that Abu Salamah said: “We prayed at the time of ‘Umar bin
‘Abdul-‘Aziz, then we went to Anas bin Malik and found him praying. When he
finished he said to us: ‘Have you prayed?’ We said: ‘We prayed Zuhr.’ He said:
‘I prayed ‘Asr.’ Theysaid: ‘You have prayed early.’ He said: ‘Rather I prayed
as I saw my companions pray.’” (Hasan)
512 Al-‘Ala
narrated to us that he entered upon Anas bin Malik in his house in Al-Basrah,
when he had finished Zuhr, and his house was beside the Masjid. “When we
entered upon him, he said: ‘Have you prayed ‘Asr?’ We said: ‘No, we have just
finished Zuhr.’ He said: ‘Pray ‘Asr.’ So we got up and prayed, and when we
finished he said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: “That is the
prayer of the hypocrite: he sits and delays ‘Asr prayer until (the sun) is
between the horns of the Shaitan, then he gets up and pecks four (Rak’ahs) in
which he only remembers Allah a little.’” (Sahih)
513 It was
narrated from Salim, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
“The one who misses ‘Asr prayer, it is as if he has been robbed of his family
and his wealth.” (Sahih)
514 It was
narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah that Jibril came to the Prophet (saw) to
teach him the times of prayer. Jibril went forward, with the Messenger of Allah
(saw) behind him and the people behind the Messenger of Allah (saw), and he
prayed Zuhr when the sun had passed its zenith. Then he came to him when the
shadow of a person was equal to his height, and did as he had done before;
Jibril went forward, with the Messenger of Allah (saw) behind him and the
people behind the Messenger of Allah (saw), and he prayed ‘Asr. Then Jibril
came to him when the sun had set; Jibril went forward, with the Messenger of
Allah (saw) behind him and the people behind the Messenger of Allah (saw), and
he prayed Maghrib. Then he came to him when the twilight had disappeared;
Jibril went forward, with the Messenger of Allah (saw) behind him and the
people behind the Messenger of Allah (saw), and he prayed ‘Isha’. Then he came
to him when dawn broke; Jibril went forward, with the Messenger of Allah (saw)
behind him and the people behind the Messenger of Allah (saw), and he prayed
Al-Ghadah.* Then he came to him on the second day when a man’s shadow was equal
to his height, and did as he had done the day before, he prayed Zuhr. Then he
came to him when the shadow of a man was twice his height, and did what he had
done the day before, and prayed ‘Asr. Then he came to him when the sun had set
and did what he had done the day before, and prayed Maghrib. Then we slept and
got up, and slept and got up again. Then he came to him and did what he had
done the day before and prayed ‘Isha’. Then he came to him when the (light of)
dawn was spread (on the horizon)** and the stars were still clear in the sky,
and he did the same as he had done the day before, and prayed Al-Ghadah. Then
he said: ‘The time between these two is the time for prayer.’” (Sahih)
*Meaning Fajr, the morning prayer.
**The Fajr prayer was elongated because the Prophet (saw)
recited at length during the prayer, so that it ended just before sunrise. That
defined the end of the time for Fajr, as the beginning of the time was defined
by the moment when he started the first Rak’ah.
515 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet
(saw) said: “Whoever catched up with two Rak’ahs of ‘Asr prayer before the sun
sets, or one Rak’ah of the Subh prayer before the sun rises, has caught it.”
(Sahih)
516 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “Whoever catches up
with one Rak’ah of ‘Asr prayer before the sun sets, or catches up with one
Rak’ah of Fajr before the sun rises, has caught it.” (Sahih)
517 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “If any one of you
catches the first prostration of ‘Asr prayer before the sun sets, let him
complete his prayer, and if he catches up withthe first prostration of Fajr
prayer before the sun rises, let him complete his prayer.” (Sahih)
518 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Whoever
catches up with a Rak’ah of the Subh prayer before the sun rises, then he has
caught up with Subh, and whoever catches up with a Rak’ah of ‘Asr prayer before
the sun sets, then he has caught up with ‘Asr.” (Sahih)
519 It was
narrated from Nasr bin ‘Abdur-Rahman, from his grandfather Mu’adh, that he
performed Tawaf with Mu’adh bin ‘Afra’ but he did not pray. “I said: ‘Are you
not going to pray?’ He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘There is no
prayer after ‘Asr until the sun has set, nor after the Subh until the sun has risen.’”
(Da’if)
520 It was
narrated from Sulaiman bin Buraidah that his father said: “A man came to the
Messenger of Allah (saw) and asked him about the times of prayer. He said:
‘Stay with us for these two days.’ Then he told Bilal to say the Iqamah at dawn
and he prayed Fajr. Then he told him to do that when the sun had passed its
zenith and he prayed Zuhr. Then he told him to do that when the sun was still
bright, and he said the Iqamah for ‘Asr. Then he told him to do that when the
last part of the sun had disappeared, and he said the Iqamah for Maghrib. Then
he told him to do that when the twilight had disappeared and he said the Iqamah
for ‘Isha’. The following day, he prayed Fajr when there was light, then he
delayed Zuhr until it was cooler before praying ‘Asr but the sun was still
clear, so he prayed ‘Asr later than on the first day. Then he prayed Maghrib
before the twilight disappeared. Then he told him to say the Iqamah for ‘Isha’
when one-third of the night had passed, and he prayed, then he said: ‘Where is
the one who was asking about the times of prayer? The times of your prayer are
between the times you have seen.’” (Sahih)
521 It was
narrated from a man of Aslam, who was one of the Companions of the Prophet
(saw), that they used to pray Maghrib with the Prophet (saw), then they would
go back to their families in the furthest part of Al-Madinah, shooting arrows
and seeing where they landed.* (Hasan)
*Because it was still bright enough.
522 It was
narrated that Abu Basrah Al-Ghifari said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) led us
in praying ‘Asr in Al-Mukhammas. He said: ‘This prayer was enjoined upon those
who came before you, but they neglected it. Whoever prays it regularly will
have a two-fold reward, and there is no prayer after it until the Shahid
appears.” And the Shahid is “the star”.* (Sahih)
*This is a statement of one of the narrators, and Allah
knows best.
523 It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr – and (one of the narrators) Shu’bah said:
“Sometimes he (Qatadah, his teacher) narrated it as a Marfu’ report and
sometimes he did not” – “The time for Zuhr prayer is until ‘Asr comes, and the
time for ‘Asr prayer is until the sun turns yellow. The time for Maghrib is
until the twilight disappears, and the time for ‘Isha’ is until the night is
halfway through, and the time for Subh is until the sun rises.” (Sahih)
524 Abu Bakr
bin Abi Musa narrated that his father said: “A man came to the Prophet (saw)
asking him about the times of prayer, and he did not answer him. He told Bilal
to say the Iqamah at dawn broke, then he told him to say the Iqamah for Zuhr
when the sun had passed its zenith and a person would say: ‘It is the middle of
the day,’ but he (the Prophet (saw)) knew better. Then he told him to say the
Iqamah for ‘Asr when the sun was still high. Then he told him to say the Iqamah
for Maghrib when the sun had set. Then he told him to say the Iqamah for ‘Isha’
when the twilight had disappeared. Then the next day he told him to day the
Iqamah for Fajr, at a time such that when after he had finished one would say:
‘The sun has risen.’ Then he delayed Zuhr until it was nearly the time of ‘Asr
compared to the day before. Then he delayed ‘Asr, to a time such that when he
finished, one would say: ‘The sun has turned red.’ Then he delayed Maghrib
until the twilight was about to disappear. Then he delayed ‘Isha’ until
one-third of the night had passed. Then he said: ‘The time (for prayer) is
between these times.’” (Sahih)
525 Al-Husain
bin Bashir bin Sallam narrated that his father said: “Muhammad bin ‘Ali and I
entered upon Jabir bin ‘Abdullah l-Ansari. We said to him: ‘Tell us about the
prayer of the Messenger of Allah (saw).’ That was at the time of Al-Hajjaj bin
Yusuf. He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (saw) came out and prayed Zuhr when the
sun had passed its zenith and the shadow (of a thing) was the length of a
sandal-strap. Then he prayed ‘Asr when the shadow of a man was the length of a
sandal-strap plus his height. Then he prayed Maghrib when the sun had set. Then
he prayed ‘Isha’ when the twilight disappeared. Then he prayed Fajr when dawn
broke. The next day he prayed Zuhr when a man’s shadow was equal to his height.
Then he prayed ‘Asr when a man’s shadow was twice his height, and (the time
between the prayer and sunset) lasted as long as it takes a swift rider to
reach Dhul-Hulaifah. Then he prayed Maghrib when the sun set, then he prayed
‘Isha’ when one-third of one-half of the night had passed.’” – (One of the
narrators) Zaid, was not sure – “then he prayed Fajr when it had become bright.”
(Sahih)
526 Sayyar bin
Salamah said: “I entered upon Abu Barzah, and my father asked him: ‘How did the
Messenger of Allah (saw) pray the prescribed prayers?’ He said: ‘He used to
pray Zuhr, which you call Al-Uula (the first) when the sun passed its zenith;
he used to pray ‘Asr when one of us could go back to his home in the farthest
part of Al-Madinah while the sun was still bright.’ I forgot what he said about
Maghrib. And he used to like to delay the ‘Isha’, which you call Al-‘Atamah,
and he did not like to sleep before it nor talk after it. And he used to finish
the Al-Ghadah (Fajr) prayer when a man could recognize his neighbor, and he
used to recite (in it) between sixty and one hundred verses.’” (Sahih)
527 Jabir bin
‘Abdullah said: “Jibril, peace be upon him, came to the Prophet (saw) when the
sun had passed its zenith and said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad, and pray Zuhr when the
sun has passed its zenith.’ Then he waited until a man’s shadow was equal to
his height. Then he came to him for ‘Asr and said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad, and
pray ‘Asr.’ Then he waited until the sunset, then he came to him and said: ‘Get
up, O Muhammad, and pray Maghrib.’ So he got up and prayed it when the sun had
set. Then he waited until the twilight disappeared, then he came to him and
said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad, and pray ‘Isha’,’ So he got up and prayed it. Then
he came to him when dawn broke and said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad, and pray.’ So he
got up and prayed Subh. Then he came to him the next day when a man’s shadow
was equal to his height, and said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad, and pray.’ So he prayed
Zuhr. Then Jibril came to him when a man’s shadow was equal to twice his length
and said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad, and pray.’ So he prayed ‘Asr. Then he came to
him for Maghrib when the sun set, at exactly the same time as the day before,
and said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad, and pray.’ So he prayed Maghrib. Then he came to
him for ‘Isha’ when the first third of the night had passed, and said: ‘Get up
and pray.’ So he prayed ‘Isha’. Then he came to him for Subh when it had become
very bright, and said: ‘Get up and pray.’ So he prayed Subh. Then he said: ‘The
time of prayer are between those two (limits).’” (Hasan)
528 It was
narrated that Muhammad bin ‘Amr bin Hasan said: “Al-Hajjaj arrived, and we
asked Jabir bin ‘Abdullah, who said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (saw) prayed Zuhr
at the time of intense heat,* and ‘Asr when the sun was white and clear, and
Maghrib when the sun set, and with ‘Isha’ it would depend – if he saw that the
people had gathered, he would pray early, and if he saw that they had not come
yet, he would delay it.’” (Sahih)
*Meaning, at the earliest time.
529 It was
narrated that An-Nu’man bin Bashir said: “I am the most knowledgeable of people
about the time of the ‘Isha’ prayer. The Prophet (saw) used to pray it when the
moon set on the third night of the month.” (Sahih)
530 It was
narrated that An-Nu’man bin Bashir said: “By Allah, I am the most knowledgeable
of people about the time of the ‘Isha’ prayers. The Prophet (saw) used to pray
it when the moon set on the third night of the month.” (Sahih)
531 Sayyar bin
Salamah said: “My father and I entered upon Abu Barzah, and my father said to
him: ‘How did the Messenger of Allah (saw) pray the prescribed prayers?’ He
said: He used to pray Zuhr, which you call Al-Uula (the first) when the sun
passed its zenith; he used to pray ‘Asr then one of us could go back to his
home in the farthest part of Al-Madinah when the sun was still bright.’” – He
said: “I forgot what he said to me about Maghrib.” – “And he used to like to
delay ‘Isha’, which you call Al-‘Atamah, and he did not like to sleep before it
nor speak after it. And he used to finish the Al-Ghadah (Fajr) prayer when a
man could recognize his neighbor, and he used to recite between sixty and one
hundred verses.’” (Sahih)
532 It was
narrated that Ibn Juraij said: “I said to ‘Ata’: ‘What is the best time you
think I should pray Al-‘Atamah, either in congregation or on my own?’ He said:
‘I heard Ibn ‘Abbas say: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) delayed Al-‘Atamah one
night until the people had slept and woken up, then slept and woken up again.
Then ‘Umar got up and said: ‘The prayer, the prayer!’” ‘Ata’ said: ‘Ibn ‘Abbas
said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) came out, and it is as if I can see him now,
with water dripping from hsi head, putting his hand on the side of his head.
[He said: “And he indicated (how)”].’” I checked with ‘Ata’ how the Prophet
(saw) put his hand on his head, and he showed me the same way as Ibn ‘Abbas had
done. ‘Ata’ spread his fingers a little, then placed them with the tips of his
fingers on his forehead, then he drew his fingers together on his head until
his thumb touched the edge of the ear that is next to the face, then moved it
to his temple and forehead, then he said: ‘Were it not that I would impose too
much difficulty for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to offer this prayer
only at this time.’” (Sahih)
533 It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “The Prophet (saw) delayed ‘Isha’ one night
until part of the night had passed. Then ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him,
got up and called out: ‘The prayer, O Messenger of Allah! The women and
children have gone to sleep.’ Then the Messenger of Allah (saw) came out with
water dripping from his head, saying: ‘This is (the best) time (for ‘Isha’),
were it not that this would be too difficult for my Ummah.’” (Sahih)
534 It was
narrated that Jabir bin Samurah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to
delay the later ‘Isha’.”* (Sahih)
*It is described as the later ‘Isha’ prayer because the
Maghrib prayer is sometimes called ‘Isha’ prayer, but it is the first ‘Isha’.
Some scholars are of the opinion that it is disliked to call Maghrib ‘Isha’
without qualifying it as the first ‘Isha’. See Fath Al-Bari.
535 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Were it not
that I would impose too much difficulty on my Ummah, I would have commanded
them to delay ‘Isha’ and to use the Siwak for every prayer.” (Sahih)
536 It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) delayed Al-‘Atamah
one night, and ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, called out to him: ‘The
women and children have gone to sleep.’ The Messenger of Allah (saw) came out
and said: ‘No one is waiting for it except you.’ At that time no prayer was
offered except in Al-Madinah. Then he said: ‘Pray it between the time when the
twilight disappears and when one-third of the night has passed.’” (Sahih)
537 It was
narrated that ‘Aishah the Mother of the Believers said: “The Prophet (saw)
delayed the prayer one night until most of the night had passed and the people
in the Masjid had gone home to sleep, then he went out and prayed, and said:
‘This is indeed its (prayer) time, were it not that I would impose too much
difficulty on my Ummah.’” (Sahih)
538 It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “We stayed in the Masjid one night waiting for
the Messenger of Allah (saw) to pray ‘Isha’. He came out to us when one-third
of the night or more had passed, and he said when he came out: ‘You are waiting
for a prayer for which the followers of no other religion are waiting. Were it
not that I would impose too much difficulty on my Ummah, I would have led them
in the prayer at this time.’ Then he commanded the Mu’adhdhin to say the Iqamah
and he prayed.”
539 It was
narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) led us
in Maghrib prayer, then he did not come out to us until half the night had
passed. Then he came out and led them in prayer, then he said: ‘The people have
prayed and gone to sleep, but you are still in a state of prayer so long as you
are waiting for the prayer. Were it not for the weakness of the weak and, the
sickness of the sick, I would have commanded that this prayer be delayed until
halfway through the night.’” (Sahih)
540 Humaid
said: “Anas was asked: ‘Did the Prophet (saw) use a ring?’ He said: ‘Yes. One
night he delayed the later ‘Isha’ prayer, until almost halfway through the
night. When he prayed the Prophet (saw) turned his face toward us and said: ‘You
are still in a state of prayer so long as you are waiting for it.’” Anas said:
‘It is as if I can see the luster of his ring.’ According to the narration of
‘Ali – that is, Ibn Hujr – “until halfway through the night.” (Sahih)
541 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “If the
people knew what (virtue) there was in the call to prayer and the first row,
and they could not find any way to get to do that* other than by drawing lots,
they would do that. If they knew what (virtue) there was in coming early to
prayer, they would compete to be first in the Masjid. If they knew what
(virtue) there was in Al-‘Atamah and Subh, they would come to them even if they
had to crawl.” (Sahih)
Indicating the two mentioned items: that is the call to
prayer and praying in the first row.
542 It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Do not let
the Bedouin make you change the name of this prayer of your, for they delay the
prayer until it is very dark because of their preoccupation with camels and
milking them. Verily, it is ‘Isha’.’” (Sahih)
543 It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say on the
Minbar: ‘Do not let the Bedouin make you change the name of your prayer;
verily, it is ‘Isha’.’” (Sahih)
544 Ja’far bin
Muhammad bin ‘Ali bin Al-Husain narrated from his father, that Jabir bin
‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) prayed Subh as soon as he was
certain the dawn had appeared.” (Sahih)
545 Humaid
narrated from Anas that a man came to the Prophet (saw) and asked him about the
time of the Subh prayer. The following morning he commanded that the Iqamah for
prayer be said when dawn broke, and he led us in prayer. The next day when
there was light he commanded that the Iqamah for prayer be said and he led us
in prayer. Then he said: “Where is the one who was asking about the time for
prayer? (It is) between these two times.” (Sahih)
546 It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “When the Messenger of Allah (saw) had prayed Subh,
the women would depart, wrapped in their wrappers, unrecognizable because of
the darkness.” (Sahih)
547 It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The women used to pray Subh with the Messenger of
Allah (saw), wrapped in their wrappers, then they would return, and no one
would recognize them because of the darkness.” (Sahih)
548 It was
narrated that Anas said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) prayed Fajr on the day
of Khaibar during the time that it was still dark, when he was near the enemy.
Then he attacked them and said: ‘Allahu Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed!’ Twice.
‘Then, when it descends in their courtyard, evil will be the morning for those
who had been warned!’” [37:177] (Sahih)
549 it was
narrated from Rafi’ bin Khadij that the Prophet (saw) said: “Pray Fajr when the
dawn shines.” (Sahih)
550 It was
narrated from Mahmud bin Labid, from some men among his people who were of the
Ansar, that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “The more you delay Fajr, the
greater the reward.” (Sahih)
551 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “Whoever catches up
with a prostration of Subh before the sun rises, then he has caught up with it;
and whoever catches up with a prostration of ‘Asr before the sun sets, then he
has caught up with it.” (Sahih)
552 It was
narrated from ‘Aishah that the Prophet (saw) said: “Whoever catches up with a
Rak’ah of Fajr before the sun rises, then he has caught up with it; and whoever
catches up with a Rak’ah of ‘Asr before the sun sets, then he has caught up
with it.” (Sahih)
553 It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to pray

Messenger of Allah, is there any moment which brings one closer to Allah than
another, or any moment that should be sought out for remembering Allah?’ He
said: ‘Yes, the closest that the Lord is to His slave is in the last part of
the night, so if you can be among those who remember Allah at that time, then
do so. For prayer is attended and witnessed (by the angels) until the sun
rises, then it rises between the two horns of the Shaitan, that is the time
when the disbelievers pray, so do not pray until the sun has risen to the
height of a spear and its rays have disappeared. Then prayer is attended and witnessed
(by the angels) until the sun is directly overhead at midday, and that is the
time when the gates of Hell are opened and it is stoked up. So do not pray
until the shadows appear. Then prayer is attended and witnessed (by the angels)
until the sun sets, and it sets between the horns of a Shaitan, and that is the

than another?’ He said: ‘Yes, the last part of the night, so pray as much as
you want until you pray Subh, then stop until the sun has risen until and it
looks like a shield and (its shining) spreads. Then pray as much as you want
until an object’s shadow is at its shortest, then stop until the sun passes its
zenith, for Hell is stoked at midday. Then pray as much as you want until you
pray ‘Asr, then stop until the sun has set, for it sets between the horns of a
Shaitan and rises between the horns of a Shaitan.’”* (Da’if)
*Similar has been recorded by Muslim.

its zenith before the set out, he would pray Zuhr and then set off. (Sahih)

He delayed the prayer one day then he went out and prayed Zuhr and ‘Asr
together, then he went in and came out again and prayed Maghrib and ‘Isha’.
(Sahih)
589 Kathir bin
Qarawanda said: “I asked Salim bin ‘Abdullah about how his father prayed when
traveling. We asked him: ‘Did he combine any of his prayers when traveling?’ He
said that Safiyyah bint Abi ‘Ubaid was married to him, and she wrote to him,
when he was at some farmland of his, saying: ‘This is the last of my days in
this world, and the first day of the Hereafter.”* He rode quickly to go to her,
and when the time for Zuhr came, the Mu’adhdhin said to him: “The prayer, O ‘Abdur-Rahman!”
But he paid no attention to him until it was between the time for the two
prayers, then he stopped and said: “Say the Iqamah and when I say the Taslim,
say the Iqamah.” Then he rode on again, and when the sun set the Mu’adhdhin
said to him: “The prayer!” He said: “Do as you did for Zuhr and ‘Asr.” When the
stars had appeared, he stopped and said to the Mu’adhdhin: “Say the Iqamah and
when I say the Taslim, say the Iqamah.” He prayed, then when he had finished he
turned to us and said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘If any one of you
has an urgent need that he hears he may miss, let him pray like this.’” (Sahih)
*Meaning that she was dying.
590 It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “I prayed with the Prophet (saw) in Al-Madinah,

591 It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that he prayed Al-Uula (Zuhr) and ‘Asr together in
Al-Basrah with nothing in between them, and he prayed Maghrib and ‘Isha’
together with nothing in between them. He did that because he was busy and Ibn ‘Abbas
said that he has prayed Zuhr and ‘Isha’ together with the Messenger of Allah
(saw) in Al-Madinah, eight Rak’ahs with nothing in between. (Sahih)
592 It was
narrated that Isma’il bin ‘Abdur-Rahman, a Shaikh of the Quraish, said: “I
accompanied Ibn ‘Umar to Al-Hima.* When the sun set I felt too nervous to
remind him of the prayer, so he went on until the light on the horizon had
disappeared and it was getting dark, then he stopped and prayed Maghrib, three
Rak’ahs, then he prayed two Rak’ahs immediately afterwards, then he said: ‘This
is what I saw the Messenger of Allah (saw) do.’” (Sahih)

‘Asr and combine them, and he would delay Maghrib until he combined it with ‘Isha’
when the twilight had disappeared.” (Da’if)
596 Nafi’
said: “I went out with ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar on a journey to some of his land.
Then someone came to him and said: ‘Safiyyah bint Abi ‘Ubaid is sick, try to
get there before it is too late.’ He set out quickly, accompanied by a man of
the Quraish. The sun set but he did not pray, although I knew him to be very
careful about praying on time. When he slowed down I said: ‘The prayer, may
Allah have mercy on you.’ He turned to me but carried on until the twilight was
almost gone, then he stopped and prayed Maghrib, then he said the Iqamah for ‘Isha’,
at that time the twilight had totally disappeared and led us in prayer. Then he
turned to us and said: ‘If the Messenger of Allah (saw) was in a hurry to
travel he would do this.’” (Sahih)
597 It was
narrated that Nafi’ said: “We came back with Ibn ‘Umar from Makkah. One night
he kept on travelling until evening came, and we thought that he had forgotten
the prayer. We said to him: ‘The prayer!’ But he kept quiet and kept going
until the twilight had almost disappeared, then he stopped and prayed, and when
the twilight disappeared he prayed ‘Isha’. Then he turned to us and said: This
is what we used to do with the Messenger of Allah (saw) if he was in a hurry to
travel.’” (Sahih)
598 Kathir bin
Qarawanda said: “We asked Salim bin ‘Abdullah about prayer while traveling. We
said: ‘Did ‘Abdullah combine any of his prayers while traveling?’ He said: ‘No,
except at Jam’.’* Then he paused, and said: ‘Safiyyah was married to him, and
she sent word to him that she was in her last day in this world and the first
day in the Hereafter. So he rode off in a hurry, and I was with him. The time
for prayer came and the Mu’adhdhin said to him: ‘The prayer, O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman!’
But he kept going until it was between the time for the two prayers. Then he
stopped and said to the Mu’adhdhin: “Say the Iqamah, and when I say the Taslim
at the end of Zuhr, say the Iqamah (again) straight away.” So he said the
Iqamah and he prayed Zuhr, two Rak’ahs, then he said the Iqamah (again)
straight away, and he prayed ‘Asr, two Rak’ahs. Then he rode off quickly until
the sun set and the Mu’adhdhin said to him: “The prayer, O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman!”
He said: “Do what you did before.” He rode on until the stars appeared, then he
stopped and said: “Say the Iqamah, then when I say the Taslim, say the Iqamah.
So he said the Iqamah and he prayed Maghrib, three Rak’ahs, then he said the
Iqamah (again) straight away and he prayed ‘Isha’, then he said one Taslim,
turning his face. Then he said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘If any one
of you has an urgent need that he fears he may miss, let him pray like this.’”

people slept too. We did not wake up until the sun had risen. The Messenger of
Allah (saw) asked the Mu’adhdhin to call the Adhan, then he prayed the two Rak’ahs

prayer. Then he told us about everything that will happen until the Hour
begins.” (Hasan)

(saw) and we were prevented from praying Zuhr, ‘Asr, Maghrib and ‘Isha’. I felt

with the Messenger of Allah (saw), and we did not wake up until the sun had

head (and leave), for the Shaitan was here in this place with us.’ We did that,

the Iqamah was said and he prayed Al-Ghadah (Fajr).” (Sahih)

narrated from Nafi’ bin Jubair, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah
(saw) said during a journey: “Who will watch out for dawn for us, so that we do
not sleep and miss the prayer?” Bilal said: ‘I will.’ He turned to face the
direction where the sun would rise, but they fell fast asleep until the heat of
the sun woke them up, then they got up. He said: ‘Perform Wudu’.’ Then Bilal
called the Adhan and he prayed two Rak’ahs, and they prayed the two (Sunnah)
Rak’ahs of Fajr, then they prayed Fajr.” (Sahih)
