Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Which hour among the hours of the night and day is such that you command me not to perform prayer in it? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you have performed the morning prayer, then refrain from performing prayer until the sun rises high, because it rises between the two horns of Satan. After that, (the angels’) attendance is present in the prayer, and it is accepted, until it is midday. When it is midday, then refrain from performing prayer until the sun declines; this is the time when Hell is kindled, and the intensity of heat is a part of the heat of Hell. When the sun declines, (the angels’) attendance is present in the prayer, and it is accepted, until you perform the Asr prayer. When you have performed the Asr prayer, then refrain from performing prayer until the sun sets, because it sets between the two horns of Satan. After that, (the angels’) attendance is present in the prayer, and it is accepted, until you perform the morning prayer.
