541. Narrated Abu Al-Minhāl: Abū Barza رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ said, “The Prophet ﷺ used to offer the Fajr (early morning prayer) when one could recognize the person sitting by him [after the Ṣalāt (prayer)], and he used to recite between 60 to 100 Āyāt (Verses) of the Qur’ān. He used to offer the Zuhr prayer as soon as the sun declined (at noon) and the ‘Aṣr prayer at a time when a man might go and return from the farthest place in Al-Madīna and find the sun still hot. (The subnarrator forgot what was said about the Maghrib). He did not mind delaying the ‘Ishā prayer to one-third of the night or the middle of the night.”

541 - حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو المِنْهَالِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ، " كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ وَأَحَدُنَا يَعْرِفُ جَلِيسَهُ، وَيَقْرَأُ فِيهَا مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى المِائَةِ، وَيُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَالعَصْرَ وَأَحَدُنَا يَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَقْصَى المَدِينَةِ، رَجَعَ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ - وَنَسِيتُ مَا قَالَ فِي المَغْرِبِ - وَلاَ يُبَالِي بِتَأْخِيرِ العِشَاءِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ " وَقَالَ مُعَاذٌ: قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: لَقِيتُهُ مَرَّةً، فَقَالَ: «أَوْ ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ»
