Chapter on Prayer Times

Zujajat al-Masabih 758Volume 1

English

Hammam narrated: I heard Ata' bin Abi Rabah say: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about the times of prayer. He instructed him to witness the prayer with him. He prayed Fajr and hurried, then he prayed Dhuhr and hurried, then he prayed Asr and hurried, then he prayed Maghrib and hurried, then he prayed Isha and hurried. The next day he prayed all the prayers and delayed them. Then the Prophet ﷺ said to the man: 'The time between my two prayers in these two times is the full time for each prayer.'"
