Sub-Chapter (Baab)

Sahih Al Bukhari 771

(Imām Bukhārī narrates): Ādam narrated to us, he said: Shu'bah narrated to us, he said: Sayyār ibn Sulaimān narrated to us, he said:

I and my father went to Abū Barzah al-Aslamī, may Allāh be pleased with him, and we asked him about the times of the prayers. So he told us that the Prophet ﷺ used to pray the Zuhr prayer at the time of the sun's decline, and used to pray the 'Asr prayer at a time when a person could return from the far end of Madīnah while the sun was still shining. And I have forgotten what he said about Maghrib. And he did not mind delaying the 'Ishā' prayer until a third of the night, and he disliked sleeping before the 'Ishā' prayer, and he disliked talking after 'Ishā'. And he used to pray the Fajr prayer at a time when a person, on turning from the prayer, could recognize the one sitting with him, and he used to recite from sixty to a hundred verses in the two rak'ahs, or in one of the two rak'ahs.

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارُ بْنُ سَلاَمَةَ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي، عَلَى أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الأَسْلَمِيِّ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ وَقْتِ الصَّلَوَاتِ، فَقَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ، وَالْعَصْرَ وَيَرْجِعُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ، وَنَسِيتُ مَا قَالَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ، وَلاَ يُبَالِي بِتَأْخِيرِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ وَلاَ يُحِبُّ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا، وَلاَ الْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا، وَيُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ فَيَنْصَرِفُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَعْرِفُ جَلِيسَهُ، وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ إِحْدَاهُمَا مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ‏.‏
