The Times of Prayer

Sahih (authentic)« Mauquf Sahih » by Salim al-Hilali

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ وَقْتِ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَا أُخْبِرُكَ صَلِّ الظُّهْرَ إِذَا كَانَ ظِلُّكَ مِثْلَكَ وَالْعَصْرَ إِذَا كَانَ ظِلُّكَ مِثْلَيْكَ وَالْمَغْرِبَ إِذَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْعِشَاءَ مَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ وَصَلِّ الصُّبْحَ بِغَبَشٍ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي الْغَلَسَ ‏.‏

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn Ziyad that Abdullah ibn Rafi, the mawla of Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked Abu Hurayra about the time of the prayer. Abu Hurayra said, "Let me tell you. Pray dhuhr when the length of your shadow matches your height, asr when your shadow is twice your height, maghrib when the sun has set, isha in the first third of the night, and subh in the very first light of dawn," i.e. when the dawn has definitely come

Abdallah Ibn Rafe', l'affranchi de Oum Salama la femme du Prophète (salallahou alayhi wa salam) r (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) a demandé Abou Houraira au sujet des moments de la prière; il lui répondit: «je vais te les montrer: fais la prière du midi lorsque ton ombre est à la hauteur du ta taille, celle de l'asr lorsque ton ombre est de double, celle du coucher du soleil lorsque celui-ci disparaît, et celle du soir dans le temps qui te sépare du tiers de la nuit. La prière de l'aurore est à faire tant qu'il fait toujours nuit»
