A narrator reports that we used to perform the Maghrib prayer with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, then we would return to our mounts and we could still see the distance of an arrow's throw. The narrator says: I asked Hazrat Zuhri how far their houses were from Madinah Munawwarah? He replied: At a distance of two-thirds of a mile.

Hazrat Zaid bin Khalid narrates that after offering the Maghrib prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we used to go to the market, and there was so much light that if an arrow was shot, we could see the place where it fell.

Hazrat Masruq narrates that I performed the Maghrib prayer with Hazrat Abdullah at a time when there was so much light that if a person threw an arrow, he could see the place where it landed.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When the fasting person breaks his fast, then at that time perform the Maghrib prayer, while the stars are rising.
