Narrated Nafi’:

(2) Whenever he visited Quba, for he used to visit it every Saturday. When he entered the Mosque,
he disliked to leave it without offering a prayer. Ibn ‘Umar narrated that Allah’s Apostle used to visit
the Mosque of Quba (sometime) walking and (sometime) riding. And he (i.e. Ibn ‘Umar) used to say,
“I do only what my companions used to do and I don’t forbid anybody to pray at any time during the
day or night except that one should not intend to pray at sunrise or sunset.”
