Volume 1, Book 10, Number 573:
Narrated Abu-l-Minhal:
My father and I went to Abi Barza Al-Aslami and my father said to him, "Tell us how Allah's
Apostle used to offer the compulsory congregational prayers." He said, "He used to pray the Zuhr
prayer, which you call the first prayer, as the sun declined at noon, the 'Asr at a time when one of US
could go to his family at the farthest place in Medina while the sun was still hot. (The narrator forgot
what Abu Barza had said about the Maghrib prayer), and the Prophet preferred to pray the 'Isha' late
and disliked to sleep before it or talk after it. And he used to return after finishing the morning pray –
er at such a time when it was possible for one to recognize the person sitting by his side and he (the
Prophet) used to recite 60 to 100 'Ayat' (verses) of the Qur'an in it."
