Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The time of the Zuhr (noon) prayer is when the sun passes the meridian and a man’s shadow is of the same length as his height. It lasts until the time of the ‘Asr (afternoon) prayer. The time of the ‘Asr prayer is as long as the sun has not become yellow (during its setting). The time of the Maghrib (sunset) prayer is as long as the twilight has not disappeared. The time of the ‘Isha’ (night) prayer is up to midnight. And the time of the Fajr (morning) prayer is from the appearance of dawn as long as the sun has not risen; (but when the sun rises abstain from prayer; for it rises between the two horns of Satan).” . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-180/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer “When the sun is white and clear.” . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-181/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer “While the sun is high.” . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-182/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to offer the ‘Asr prayer (and after the prayer) one of us would return to his house at the furthest end of al-Madinah and arrive while the sun was still hot and bright.

After the Fajr prayer he used to leave when a man could recognize the one sitting beside him and he used to recite between 60 to 100 Verse of Qur’an in the Fajr prayer. . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-183/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer used to advance the ‘Isha’ prayer sometimes and delay it at other times. Whenever he saw the people assembled (for the ‘Isha’ prayer) he would pray early and if the people delayed, he would delay the prayer. And the Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer the Fajr prayer when it was still dark. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-184/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer He (ﷺ) offered the Fajr prayer at daybreak when the people could hardly recognize one another. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-185/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer We used to offer the Maghrib prayer with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and then one of us would go (out of the mosque) and be able to see the spot his would fall at. . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-186/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer The Prophet (ﷺ) delayed (the ‘Isha’ prayer) one night till a great part of the night passed, then he went out and offered the prayer, and said, “This is the proper time for it; were it not that I would impose a burden on my followers.” . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-187/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “When it is hot, delay the (Zuhr) prayer till it cools down, for the intensity of heat is from the exhalation of Hell.” . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-188/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Offer the morning prayer at dawn, for it is greater for your rewards.” . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-189/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “He who prays a Rak’a of the Fajr prayer before the sun rises, has offered the dawn prayer in its time, and he who prays a Rak’a of the ‘Asr prayer before the sun sets has offered the afternoon prayer.” . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-190/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer “A Sajdah implies a Rak’a.” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-191/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying: “No Salat (prayer) is to be offered after the morning prayer until the sun rises, or after the afternoon prayer until the sun sets.” . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-192/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer “There is no Salat (prayer) after the Fajr (morning) prayer.” https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-193/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer “There are three times at which Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to forbid us to pray or bury our dead: (a) when the sun begins to rise till it is fully up, (b) when the sun is at its height at midday till it passes the meridian, and (c) when the sun draws near to setting till it sets.” . https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-194/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer ash-Shafi’i views the second ruling from https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-195/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer “Except on Friday”. https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-196/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer Abu Dawud reported something similar from Abu Qatadah (RA). https://parallelquran.com/hadith/bulugh-al-maram-197/ Bulugh al-Maram The Book of Prayer Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “O descendants of ‘Abd Manaf!
