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.
