عن عمرو بن عبسة رضي الله عنه قال: قلت: يا رسول الله! علمني مما علمك الله عز وجل، قال: ((إذا صليت الصبح فاقصر عن الصلاة حتى تطلع الشمس فإذا طلعت فلا تصل حتى ترتفع فإنها تطلع حين تطلع بين قرني شيطان وحينئذ يسجد لها الكفار فإذا ارتفعت قيد رمح او رمحين فصل فإن الصلاة مشهودة محضورة حتى يعني يستقل الرمح بالظل ثم اقصر عن الصلاة فإنها حينئذ تسجر جهنم، فإذا فاء الفيء فصل فإن الصلاة مشهودة محضورة حتى تصلي العصر فإذا صليت العصر فاقصر عن الصلاة حتى تغرب الشمس فإنها تغرب بين قرني شيطان فحينئذ يسجد لها الكفار))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me from the knowledge that Allah Almighty has granted you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you have performed the Fajr prayer, refrain from further prayer until the sun rises. When it is rising, do not pray until it has fully risen, for it rises between the two horns of Satan, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it. When it has risen to the height of one or two spears, then pray, for indeed the angels are present at that prayer. When the spear stands upright over its shadow, refrain from prayer, for at that time Hell is kindled. When the shadow returns (from the west to the east), then pray, for the prayer at this time is attended (by angels), until you perform the Asr prayer. When you have performed the Asr prayer, refrain from further prayer until the sun sets, for it sets between the two horns of Satan, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it."

عن كعب بن مرة البهزي رضي الله عنه قال: قلت: يا رسول الله! اي الليل اسمع؟ قال: ((جوف الليل الآخر)) ثم قال: ((ثم الصلاة مقبولة حتى يصلى الفجر، ثم لا صلاة حتى تكون الشمس قيد رمح او رمحين، ثم الصلاة مقبولة حتى يقوم الظل قيام الرمح، ثم لا صلاة حتى تزول الشمس، ثم الصلاة مقبولة حتى تكون الشمس قيد رمح او رمحين، ثم لا صلاة حتى تغرب الشمس)) قال: وإذا غسلت وجهك خرجت خطاياك من وجهك، وإذا غسلت يديك خرجت خطاياك من يديك، وإذا غسلت رجليك خرجت خطاياك من رجليك
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka’b bin Murrah Bahzi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I said,“O Messenger of Allah! At which part of the night is supplication most heard?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“In the last third of the night.”Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Then there is the prayer that is accepted, until the Fajr prayer is performed; after that, there is no prayer, until the sun rises to the height of one or two spears. After that, it is the time for accepted prayer, until the shadow stands with the spear; then there is no prayer, until the sun declines. Then it is the time for accepted prayer, until the sun remains raised to the height of one or two spears; then there is no prayer until it sets.”Furthermore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“When you wash your face (in ablution), the errors will come out from your face; when you wash your arms, the sins will come out from your arms; and when you wash your feet, the sins will come out from your feet.”

عن ابي عبد الله الصنابحي رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: ((إن الشمس تطلع بين قرني شيطان، فإذا ارتفعت فارقها فإذا كانت في وسط السماء قارنها، فإذا دلكت او قال: زالت فارقها، فإذا دنت للغروب قارنها فإذا غربت فارقها، فلا تصلوا هٰذه الثلاث ساعات))
Sayyiduna Abu Abdullah Sanabahi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Verily, the sun rises between the two horns of Satan, so when it becomes high, he separates from it. Then when the sun reaches the middle of the sky, Satan joins it, and when it declines, he separates from it. And when it is about to set, Satan joins it again, and when it sets, he separates from it. Therefore, do not perform prayer during these three times.

عن عقبة بن عامر الجهني رضي الله عنه قال: ثلاث ساعات كان ينهانا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ان نصلي فيهن او ان نقبر فيهن موتانا، حين تطلع الشمس بازغة حتى ترتفع وحين يقوم قائم الظهيرة حتى تميل الشمس وحين تضيف للغروب حتى تغرب
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to forbid us from performing prayer and burying the dead at three times: when the sun is rising until it becomes high, when the one standing at noon stands, and when it inclines for setting until it sets.

عن صفوان بن المعطل السلمي رضي الله عنه انه سال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فقال: يا نبي الله! إني اسالك عما انت به عالم وانا به جاهل، قال: ((وما هو؟)) قال: هل من ساعات الليل والنهار ساعة تكره فيها الصلاة؟ فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: ((نعم، إذا صليت الصبح فامسك عن الصلاة حتى تطلع الشمس فإذا طلعت فصل فإن الصلاة محضورة متقبلة حتى تعتدل على راسك مثل الرمح، فإذا اعتدلت على راسك فإن تلك الساعة تسجر فيها جهنم وتفتح فيها ابوابها حتى تزول عن حاجبك الايمن، فإذا زالت عن حاجبك الايمن فصل فإن الصلاة محضورة متقبلة حتى تصلي العصر))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Safwan bin Mu'attal Salmi (may Allah be pleased with him), he asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I want to ask you about something which you know, but I do not know. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What is it? He said: Are there such hours during the day and night in which it is disliked to perform prayer? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, when you have performed the Fajr prayer, then refrain from performing any more prayer until the sun rises. When the sun has risen, then perform prayer, for indeed that prayer is presented and accepted, until the sun is at the height of a spear above your head. When it is above your head, then at that time Hell is kindled and its doors are opened, until it declines from your right side. When it declines from your right side, then perform prayer, for the prayer at that time is presented and accepted, until you have performed the Asr prayer.
