Sayyar bin Salamah said: I went with my father to the service of Sayyiduna Abu Barzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), who was in a bamboo hut. My father asked him about the prayer times of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) informed that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) «هجير» which you call Dhuhr, used to pray at the time of the sun's decline, and when he would pray the Asr prayer, any one of us could return to his house at the farthest end of Madinah and the sun would still be bright. Sayyar said: I do not remember what he said about Maghrib, and the Isha prayer, which you «عتمة» , he used to prefer to delay it, and he would finish the Fajr prayer at a time when a man could recognize the person sitting next to him, and in this (Fajr) prayer he would recite sixty to one hundred verses.
