Ibn Shibab reported: 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz deferred the afternoon prayer somewhat and 'Urwa said to him: Gabriel (ؑ) came down and he led the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in prayer. 'Umar said to him: O 'Urwa, are you aware of what you are saying? Upon this he ('Urwa) said: I heard Bashir bin Abu Mas'ud say that he heard Abu Mas'ud say that he heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say: Gabriel (ؑ) came down and acted as my Imam, then I prayed with him, then I prayed with him, then I prayed with him, then I prayed with him, then I prayed with him, reckoning with his fingers five times of prayer.

Ibn Shibab reported: Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz one day deferred the prayer. 'Urwa bin Zubair came to him and informed him that one day as Mughira bin Shu'bah was in Kufa (as its governor), he deferred the prayer, Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari came to him and said: What is this, O Mughira? Did you know that it was Gabriel (ؑ) who came and said prayer and (then) the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said the prayer (along with him), then (Gabriel (ؑ)) prayed and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) also prayed, then (Gabriel (ؑ)) prayed and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) also prayed, then (Gabriel (ؑ)) prayed and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) prayed (along with him). then Gabriel (ؑ) prayed and the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) also prayed (along with him) and then said: This is how I have been ordered to do. 'Umar (b. 'Abdul 'Aziz) said. O 'Urwa be mindful of what you are saying that Gabriel (ؑ) (peace be upon him) taught the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) the times of prayer. Upon this 'Urwa said: This is how Bashir bin Abu Mas'ud narrated on the authority of his father and (also said): 'A'isha?, the wife of the Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . narrated it to me that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to say the afternoon prayer, when the light of the sun was there in her apartment before it went out (of it).

A'isha reported: The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said the afternoon prayer as the sun shone in my apartment, and the afternoon shadow did not extend further. Abu Bakr (RA) said: The afternoon shadow did not appear to extend further.

'A'isha, the wife of the Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) , said that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said the afternoon prayer (at the time) when the sun shone in her apartment and its shadow did not extend beyond her apartment.

A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said the afternoon prayer (at a time) when the (light) of the sun was there in my apartment.

'Abdullah bin 'Amr reported the Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saying: The time of the noon prayer (lasts) as long as it is not afternoon, and the time of the afternoon prayer (lasts) as long as the sun does not turn pale and the time of the evening prayer (lasts) as long as the spreading appearance of the redness above the horizon after sunset does not sink down, and the, time of the night prayer (lasts) by midnight and the time of the morning prayer (lasts) as long as the sun dots not rise.

'Abdullah b. 'Amr reported the Apostle (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) saying: The time of the noon prayer (lasts) as long as it is not afternoon, and the time of the afternoon prayer (lasts) as long as the sun does not turn pale and the time of the evening prayer (lasts) as long as the spreading appearance of the redness above the horizon after sunset does not sink down, and the, time of the night prayer (lasts) by midnight and the time of the morning prayer (lasts) as long as the sun dots not rise.

Abu Bakr (RA) b Abu Shaiban and Yahya b Abu Bukair both of them narrated this hadith with the same chain of transmitters.

'Abdullah bin 'Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The time of the noon prayer is when the sun passes the meridian and a man's shadow is the same (length) as his height, (and it lasts) as long as the time for the afternoon prayer has not come; the time for the afternoon prayer is as long as the sun has not become pale; the time of the evening prayer is as long as the twilight has not ended; the time of the night prayer is up to the middle of the average night and the time of the morning prayer is from the appearance of dawn, as long as the sun has not risen; but when the sun rises, refrain from prayer for it rises between the horns of the devil.
