Volume 1, Book 12, Number 738:
Narrated Saiyar bin Salama:
My father and I went to Abu Barza-al-Aslami to ask him about the stated times for the prayers. He
replied, “The Prophet used to offer the Zuhr prayer when the sun just declined from its highest posi –
tion at noon; the ‘Asr at a time when if a man went to the farthest place in Medina (after praying) he
would find the sun still hot (bright). (The sub narrator said: I have forgotten what Abu Barza said
about the Maghrib prayer). The Prophet never found any harm in delaying the ‘Isha’ prayer to the
first third of the night and he never liked to sleep before it and to talk after it. He used to offer the
morning prayer at a time when after finishing it one could recognize the person sitting beside him
and used to recite between 60 to 100 verses in one or both the Rakat.”
Volume 1, Book 10, Number 522:
Narrated Saiyar bin Salama:
I along with my father went to Abu- Barza Al-Aslarrni and my father asked him, “How Allah’s
Apostle used to offer the five compulsory congregational prayers?” Abu- Barza said, “The Prophet
used to pray the Zuhr prayer which you (people) call the first one at mid-day when the sun had just
declined The Asr prayer at a time when after the prayer, a man could go to the house at the farthest
place in Medina (and arrive) while the sun was still hot. (I forgot about the Maghrib prayer). The
Prophet Loved to delay the ‘Isha which you call Al- Atama and he disliked sleeping before it and
speaking after it. After the Fajr prayer he used to leave when a man could recognize the one sitting
beside him and he used to recite between 60 to 100 Ayat (in the Fajr prayer) .
