كِتَاب مَوَاقِيتِ الصَّلَاةِ

Chapter 11

(11) Chapter. The time of Zuhr prayer is when the sun declines (just after mid-day).

11- بَابُ وَقْتِ الظُّهْرِ عِنْدَ الزَّوَالِ:

English narration

Narrated by شعبة بن الحجاج العتكي

Abu Barza said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer the Fajr (prayer) when one could recognize the person sitting by him (after the prayer) and he used to recite between 60 to 100 Ayat (verses) of the Qur'an. He used to offer the Zuhr prayer as soon as the sun declined (at noon) and the `Asr at a time when a man might go and return from the farthest place in Medina and find the sun still hot. (The sub-narrator forgot what was said about the Maghrib). He did not mind delaying the `Isha prayer to one third of the night or the middle of the night."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِى الْمِنْهَالِ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ ، "

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ ، وَأَحَدُنَا يَعْرِفُ جَلِيسَهُ وَيَقْرَأُ فِيهَا مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ ، وَيُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْعَصْرَ ، وَأَحَدُنَا يَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ يَرْجَعَ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ وَنَسِيتُ مَا قَالَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ ، وَلَا يُبَالِي بِتَأْخِيرِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ

" ، وَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ : قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : لَقِيتُهُ مَرَّةً ، فَقَالَ : أَوْ ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ .
