Sulaiman bin Buraidah narrates from his father that a man came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and asked him about the times of prayer. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Pray with us for two days." The narrator states that the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered Bilal to give the call to prayer when the sun had declined, then the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered him and he gave the iqamah, then the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed the Zuhr prayer. Then he ordered him and he gave the iqamah for Asr while the sun was still high, bright, and shining. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered him and he gave the iqamah for Maghrib when the sun had set. Then, by the order of the Prophet (peace be upon him), he gave the iqamah for Isha when the twilight had disappeared. Then, by the order of the Prophet (peace be upon him), he gave the iqamah for Fajr when the true dawn had appeared.

When the second day came, the Prophet (peace be upon him) instructed him to perform the Zuhr prayer at a cooler time, so he performed it at a cooler time. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) instructed him, so he gave the iqamah for Asr while the sun was still high, but the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed this prayer a little later than he had on the first day. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) instructed him, so he gave the iqamah for Maghrib before the twilight had disappeared. Then, by the order of the Prophet (peace be upon him), he gave the iqamah for Fajr when the light had spread. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: "Where is the person who asked about the times of prayer? The times of your prayers are between these two times which you have seen."
