English translation
599. Narrated Abūl-Minhāl: My father رضي الله عنه and I went to Abī Barza Al-Aslamī and my father said to him, "Tell us how Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to offer the compulsory congregational Ṣalāt (prayers)." He said, "He used to offer the Zuhr prayer, which you call the first prayer, as the sun declined at noon, the Aṣr at a time when one of us could go to his family at the farthest place in Al-Madīna while the sun was still hot. (The narrator forgot what Abū Barza had said about the Maghrib prayer), and the Prophet ﷺ preferred to offer the Iṣhā' prayer late and disliked to sleep before it or talk after it. And he used to return after finishing the morning prayer (Fajr prayer) at such a time when it was possible for one to recognize the person sitting by his side and he (the Prophet ﷺ) used to recite 60 to 100 'Āyāt' (Verses) of the Qur'ān in it."
