The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayer-08b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Numayr narrated to us, saying: My father narrated to us, saying: Badr ibn Uthman narrated to us, saying: Abu Bakr ibn Abi Musa narrated to us from his father, from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 614a.
The Shaykh : And it appears, and Allah knows best, that this is another story narrated by Abu Bakr ibn Abi Musa from his father, Abu Musa, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the first questioner to pray with him for two days, whereas this questioner was not responded to with anything. Otherwise, the meaning is the same.
a person came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for inquiring about the times of prayers. He (the Holy Prophet) gave him no reply (because he wanted to explain to him the times by practically observing these prayers). He then said the morning player when it was daybreak, but the people could hardly recognise one another. He then commanded and the Iqama for the noon prayer was pronounced when the tan had passed the meridian and one would say that it was midday but he (the Holy Prophet) knew batter than them. He then again commanded and the Iqama for the afternoon prayer was pronounced when the sun was high. He then commanded and Iqama for the evening prayer was pronounced when the sun had sunk. He then commanded and Iqama for the night prayer was pronounced when the twilight had disappeared. He then delayed the morning prayer on the next day (so much so) that after returning from it one would say that the sun had risen or it was about to rise. He then delayed the noon prayer till it was near the time of afternoon prayer (as it was observed yesterday). He then delayed the afternoon prayer till one after returning from it would say that the sun had become red. He then delayed the evening prayer till the twilight was about to disappear. He then delayed the night prayer till it was one-third of the night. He then called the inquirer in the morning and said: The time for prayers is between these two (extremes).
أنه أتاه سائل يسأله عن مواقيت الصلاة فلم يرد عليه شيئا قال فأقام الفجر حين انشق الفجر والناس لا يكاد يعرف بعضهم بعضا، ثم أمره فأقام بالظهر حين زالت الشمس والقائل يقول قد انتصف النهار وهو كان أعلم منهم، ثم أمره فأقام بالعصر والشمس مرتفعة، ثم أمره فأقام بالمغرب حين وقعت الشمس، ثم أمره فأقام العشاء حين غاب الشفق، ثم أخر الفجر من الغد حتى انصرف منها والقائل يقول قد طلعت الشمس أو كادت ثم أخر الظهر حتى كان قريبا من وقت العصر بالأمس، ثم أخر العصر حتى انصرف منها والقائل يقول قد احمرت الشمس، ثم أخر المغرب حتى كان عند سقوط الشفق، ثم أخر العشاء حتى كان ثلث الليل الأول، ثم أصبح فدعا السائل فقال: الوقت بين هذينThe Shaykh : And it appears, and Allah knows best, that this is another story narrated by Abu Bakr ibn Abi Musa from his father, Abu Musa, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the first questioner to pray with him for two days, whereas this questioner was not responded to with anything.
