English translation
395. Abū Mūsā narrated that a person asked the Prophet ﷺ [about the prayer times], but he did not respond to him until he ordered Bilāl to call for Fajr at the break of dawn, and he prayed while a person could not recognize the face of his companion, or when a person could not recognize who was next to him. Then he ordered Bilāl to call for Zuhr when the sun was at its zenith — when a person would say: 'Is it the middle of the day?' and he would know. Then he commanded Bilāl to call for Asr while the sun was bright and high (in the sky). Then he commanded Bilāl to call for Maghrib when the sun disappeared. And he commanded Bilāl to call for Ishā when the twilight disappeared. On the next day, he prayed Fajr and (when) he left we asked: 'Has the sun risen?' And he prayed Zuhr the time that he prayed ʿAṣr the previous day. And he prayed ʿAṣr when the sun had become yellow, or (some narrators said) it had become evening. And he prayed Maghrib before the twilight disappeared. And he prayed ʾIshā after a third of the night (had passed). Then he said, 'Where is the questioner about the times of the prayers? The times are between these two.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: Sulaimān bin Mūsā reported similar to this regarding Maghrib from ʾĀṭā from Jābir, from the Prophet ﷺ. He said: "Then he prayed ʾIshā." Some of them said: "After a third of the night" and others said: "...after half of it." And it was reported like that from Ibn Buraidah, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ.
