The same narration is transmitted as a mursal narration with another chain of transmission.

Sayyiduna Majma’ bin Jariyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the timings of the prayers, so he performed the prayer at the earliest time first, then performed the prayer at the last time, and said:“The time for the prayer is between these two.”

The son of Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his father: Jibril (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the sun had declined (after this, the narrator mentioned the timings of the prayers and stated): Then Jibril (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the sun had set, and said:“Stand up and offer the prayer.”Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the prayer. Then, on the next day, he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time when the sun had set (i.e., the time for Maghrib prayer was the same), and said:“Stand up and offer the prayer.”So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the prayer.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That was Jibril (peace be upon him) who came to teach you your religion." Then he performed the prayer. After that, the narrator mentioned the narration regarding the times of the prayers, in which these words are: Then he (the Prophet, peace be upon him) performed the Maghrib prayer when the sun had set. Regarding the next day, the narrator reported: Then he (Jibril) came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the next day and he performed the Maghrib prayer when the sun had set; it was the same time.

The same narration is transmitted with another chain, however, in it are these words: Then the next day they came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he led them in the Maghrib prayer at the same time when the sun had set and when it becomes permissible for the fasting person to break his fast.

Muhammad bin Ammar narrated regarding Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that he mentioned that the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, told him this: "Jibril (Gabriel), peace be upon him, came to you (the Prophet) and led all the prayers at different times except for the Maghrib prayer (which he led at the same time)." The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "He came to me at the time of Maghrib and led me in prayer when the sun had set. Then he came to me (the narrator says: the next day) at the time of Maghrib and led the prayer at the same time when the sun had set; he did not make any change in it."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When the prayer was made obligatory, Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and led him in the Zuhr prayer. After this, the narrator mentioned the timings of the prayers, in which these words are found: Jibreel (peace be upon him) led the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Maghrib prayer when the sun had set. Regarding the next day, the narrator has transmitted the same words: He led the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Maghrib prayer when the sun had set.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is a beginning time for prayer and an ending time. The beginning time for Dhuhr is when the sun passes its zenith, and its ending time is when the time for Asr begins. The beginning time for Asr is when it starts, and its ending time is when the sun becomes yellow. The beginning time for Maghrib is when the sun sets, and its ending time is when the twilight disappears. The beginning time for Isha is when the twilight disappears, and its ending time is when half the night has passed. The beginning time for Fajr is when the true dawn appears, and its ending time is when the sun rises." This narration is not authentic as a musnad narration; other narrators have transmitted it as a mursal narration from Mujahid.

Mujahid says: It has been stated: "The prayer has a beginning time and an ending time." Then he mentioned this hadith. This narration is more authentic compared to the previously transmitted narration.

The same narration is also transmitted with another chain from Mujahid, from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), however, in it are these words: "The initial time of Asr is when the sun is bright until the time of Maghrib comes."
