547. Narrated Sayyār bin Salama: I along with my father went to Abū Barza Al-Aslamī and my father asked him, "How Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to offer the five compulsory congregational prayers?" Abū Barza said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to offer the Zuhr prayer which you (people) call the first one, at mid-day when the sun had just declined. The Aṣr prayer at a time when after the prayer, a man could go to the house at the farthest place in Al-Madīna (and arrive) while the sun was still hot. I forgot about the Maghrib prayer. The Prophet ﷺ loved to delay the Ishā which you call Al-Atama and he disliked sleeping before it and speaking after it. After the Fajr prayer he used to depart when a man could recognize the one sitting beside him and he used to recite between 60 to 100 Āyāt (in the Fajr prayer).

547 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ سَلاَمَةَ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي عَلَى أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الأَسْلَمِيِّ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي: كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي المَكْتُوبَةَ؟ فَقَالَ: «كَانَ يُصَلِّي الهَجِيرَ، الَّتِي تَدْعُونَهَا الأُولَى، حِينَ تَدْحَضُ الشَّمْسُ، وَيُصَلِّي العَصْرَ، ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ أَحَدُنَا إِلَى رَحْلِهِ فِي أَقْصَى المَدِينَةِ ، وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ - وَنَسِيتُ مَا قَالَ فِي المَغْرِبِ - وَكَانَ يَسْتَحِبُّ أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَ العِشَاءَ، الَّتِي تَدْعُونَهَا العَتَمَةَ، وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا، وَالحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا، وَكَانَ يَنْفَتِلُ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الغَدَاةِ حِينَ يَعْرِفُ الرَّجُلُ جَلِيسَهُ، وَيَقْرَأُ بِالسِّتِّينَ إِلَى المِائَةِ»
