Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ سَلَامَةَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي عَلَى أَبِي بَرْزَةَ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ وَقْتِ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ وَالْعَصْرَ يَرْجِعُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ وَالْمَغْرِبَ قَالَ سَيَّارٌ نَسِيتُهَا وَالْعِشَاءَ لَا يُبَالِي بَعْدَ تَأْخِيرِهَا إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ وَكَانَ لَا يُحِبُّ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا وَالْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ فَيَنْصَرِفُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَعْرِفُ وَجْهَ جَلِيسِهِ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ قَالَ سَيَّارٌ لَا أَدْرِي فِي إِحْدَى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ فِي كِلْتَيْهِمَا.
English Translation
Hajjaj narrated to us, Shubah narrated to us, from Sayyar ibn Salamah, who said: My father and I entered upon Abu Barzah and asked him about the prayer times of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). He said: 'He used to pray Dhuhr when the sun passed its zenith. He prayed Asr, and a man could return to the farthest part of Madinah while the sun was still lively. As for Maghrib,' Sayyar said: 'I forgot it.' 'He did not mind delaying Isha until a third of the night. He disliked sleeping before it and conversing after it. He would pray the morning prayer, and a man could recognize the face of his companion sitting next to him. He used to recite between sixty and one hundred verses in it.' Sayyar said: 'I do not know whether in one of the two units or in both.'
