The reciter: And Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Azdi narrated to me, saying: Umar ibn Abdullah ibn Razin narrated to us, saying: Ibrahim, meaning ibn Thahman, narrated to us from al-Hajjaj, who is ibn Hajjaj, from Qatadah, from Abu Ayyub, from Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As, that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the times of the prayers, so he said:
The time for the morning prayer (lasts) as long as the first visible part of the rising sun does not appear and the time of the noon prayer is when the sun declines from the zenith and there is not a time for the afternoon prayer and the time for the afternoon prayer is so long as the sun does not become pale and its first visible part does not set, and the time for the evening prayer is that when the sun disappears and (it lasts) till the twilight is no more and the time for the night prayer is up to the midnight.
وقت صلاة الفجر ما لم يطلع قرن الشمس الأول، ووقت صلاة الظهر إذا زالت الشمس عن بطن السماء ما لم يحضر العصر، ووقت صلاة العصر ما لم تصفر الشمس ويسقط قرنها الأول، ووقت صلاة المغرب إذا غابت الشمس ما لم يسقط الشفق، ووقت صلاة العشاء إلى نصف الليل .
