English Translation

Hadrat Ahmad ibn Yusuf al-Azdi narrated to me, he said: 'Umar ibn 'Abdullah ibn Razin narrated to us, he said: Ibrahim — meaning Ibn Tahman — narrated to us from al-Hajjaj — who is the son of Hajjaj (al-Aslami) — from Qatadah, from Hadrat Abu Ayyub, from Hadrat 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be well pleased with them both), who said: The Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was asked about the times of prayers. He said: 'The time of Fajr prayer lasts as long as the first part of the sun has not appeared. The time of Zuhr is when the sun declines from the zenith, as long as the time of 'Asr has not come. The time of 'Asr lasts as long as the sun has not turned yellow and its first part has not begun to set. The time of Maghrib is when the sun has set, lasting as long as the twilight has not disappeared. The time of 'Isha extends until midnight.'
