The questioner : I seem to have heard a hadith, where the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , as you mentioned a moment ago in your explanation, and on the second or third day .
The Shaykh : With the lightening of the sky.
The questioner : With ... .
The Shaykh : The lightening of the sky, the lightening of the sky.
The questioner : The lightening of the sky? With the lightening of the sky, ... .
The Shaykh : No ... we can show you the shadow of a standing object at the beginning of the time, when the shadow tilts slightly toward the east, when does it end?
The questioner : ... In the first instance, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said he prayed the midday prayer with him when the shadow of an object was equal to its length, this was on the first day.
The Shaykh : This, my brother, is on the second day. In any case, complete the hadith ... it appears to be a mistake ... an error.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Here, I have brought you the text of the hadith from the book.
The questioner : Our Master the Shaykh, just as on the first day when the sun had passed its zenith; so the meaning is that the night prayer extends from the entry of the night prayer time to the end of the night until ... .
The Shaykh : My brother, you are mistaken about this hadith — no blame on you — because regarding the night prayer, and even regarding the dawn prayer, there is no mention whatsoever in this hadith of the breaking of the fast of the fasting people or their abstention. Otherwise, we would recall the wording of the hadith to its end so that it is transmitted correctly. So you have a mistake upon a mistake. You assumed that in this hadith he prayed the night prayer on the second day until the time of the dawn’s appearance; meaning where food becomes forbidden and the fasting people abstain. This does not exist in the hadith at all. And I, in order to be sure before you now, will look at the hadith; then it will become clear that there is no contradiction between this hadith and the hadith we mentioned that is in "Sahih Muslim," where he (peace be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 612e.
And from Ibn Abbas that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 149Hasan (Darussalam) What is the shirak? It is the strap of the sandal; meaning short, Jami` at-Tirmidhi 149Hasan (Darussalam) meaning it set, - here you entered ... Jami` at-Tirmidhi 149Hasan (Darussalam) as I said, Jami` at-Tirmidhi 149Hasan (Darussalam)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 149Hasan (Darussalam) this is the lightening of the sky, Jami` at-Tirmidhi 149Hasan (Darussalam). So the hadith does not contradict the hadith we mentioned.
The questioner : We said that the hadith ... .
The Shaykh : It is not important, in some narrations ... and this is the secret in it as we said ... so the third will equal the half regarding some times.
The questioner : Regarding the hadith, it indicates to us that the time ... .
The Shaykh : Ah, this hadith indicates this; and therefore there is a narration from Imam al-Shafi'i that says the time for the sunset prayer is strange such that it does not allow for more than praying the sunset prayer. But it came in the hadith we mentioned earlier, which is the time for the night prayer until the middle of the night, he said: and the time for the sunset prayer until the time of the night prayer, and the time for the night prayer until the middle of the night. And you know that there is no problem here; because legislation does not come all at once, it comes gradually; so this is ... .
The questioner : In a hadith ... .
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, there is nothing like that, this is as it is said: a hadith of folklore, O Umm Amr.
Another questioner : And the time for the sunset prayer — O our Shaykh — is the shortest of the times; so for this, the person hastens immediately to perform the prayer.
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed,[Al-Baqarah 2:286]; because the story occurred in the time of the Messenger (peace be upon him), and then it was not reported that he ordered him to make up ... .
Jibril came to me in the Ka'bah, so he prayed the dawn prayer with me when the fasting people woke up for the pre-dawn meal, and he prayed the midday prayer with me when the shadow of an object was equal to its length, and he prayed the afternoon prayer with me when the shadow of an object was twice its length, and he prayed the sunset prayer with me when the red twilight appeared, and he prayed the night prayer with me when the red twilight disappeared.
جاءني جبريل في الكعبة ، فصلى بي الصبح عندما استيقظ الصائمون للسحور ، وصلى بي الظهر عندما كان ظلُّ الشيء مثله ، وصلى بي العصر عندما كان ظلُّ الشيء مثليه ، وصلى بي المغرب عندما ظهر الشفق الأحمر ، وصلى بي العشاء عندما اختفى الشفق الأحمرJibril came and prayed the dawn prayer with me when the fasting people abstained.
جاء جبريل فصلى بي الصبح عندما امتنع الصائمونThe Shaykh : With the lightening of the sky.
The questioner : With ... .
The Shaykh : The lightening of the sky, the lightening of the sky.
The questioner : The lightening of the sky? With the lightening of the sky,
And he prayed the midday prayer with me when the shadow of an object was equal to its length, and he prayed the afternoon prayer with me.
وصلى بي الظهر عندما كان ظلُّ الشيء مثله ، وصلى بي العصرThe Shaykh : No ... we can show you the shadow of a standing object at the beginning of the time, when the shadow tilts slightly toward the east, when does it end?

And on the following day when the shadow of an object was equal to its length, and he prayed the afternoon prayer with me on the following day when the shadow of an object was twice its length, and he prayed the sunset prayer with me when the red twilight appeared, and he prayed the night prayer with me when the fasting people woke up for the pre-dawn meal.
وفي اليوم التالي عندما كان ظل الشيء مثله ، وصلى بي العصر في اليوم التالي عندما كان ظل الشيء مثليه ، وصلى بي المغرب عندما ظهر الشفق الأحمر ، وصلى بي العشاء عندما استيقظ الصائمون للسحورThe Shaykh : My brother, you are mistaken about this hadith — no blame on you — because regarding the night prayer, and even regarding the dawn prayer, there is no mention whatsoever in this hadith of the breaking of the fast of the fasting people or their abstention.

the time for the night prayer is up to the midnight
ووقت صلاة العشاء إلى نصف الليلAnd from Ibn Abbas that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said:
Jibril (peace be upon him) led me (in Salat) twice at the House. So he prayed Zuhr the first time when the shadow was similar to (the length of) the strap a sandal.
أمَّني جبريل - عليه السلام - عند البيت مرَّتين ، فصلى الظهر في الأولى منهما حينما كان الفيء مثل الشِّراكThen he prayed Asr when everything was similar (to the length of) its shadow. Then he prayed Maghrib when the sun had set
ثم صلى العصر حينما كان كل شيء مثل ظلِّه ، ثم صلى المغرب حين وجبت الشمسAnd the fasting people broke their fast.
وأفطر الصائمThen he prayed Isha when the twilight had vanished. Then he prayed Fajr when Fajr (dawn) began, and when eating is prohibited for the fasting person. The second time he prayed Zuhr when the shadow of everything was similar to (the length of) it, at the time of Asr the day before. Then he prayed Asr when the shadow of everything was about twice as long as it.
ثم صلى العشاء حين غاب الشَّفق ، ثم صلى الفجر حين برق الفجر وحرم الطعام على الصائم ، وصلى المرَّة الثانية الظهر حين كان ظلُّ كل شيء مثله لوقت العصر بالأمس ، ثم صلى العصر حينما كان ظلُّ كل شيء مثليهThen he prayed Maghrib at the same time as he did the first time. Then he prayed Isha, the later one, when a third of the night had gone.
ثم صلى المغرب لوقته الأول ، ثم صلى العشاء الآخرة حين ذهب ثلث الليلThen he prayed Subh when the land glowed.
ثم صلى الصبح حين أسفرت الأرضThen Jibril turned towards me and said: "O Muhammad! These are the times of the Prophets before you, and the (best) time is what is between these two times."
