English translation
1252. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "Safwān bin Mu'attal asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I want to ask you about something of which you have knowledge and I know nothing.' He said: 'What is it?' He said: 'Is there any time of the night or day when it is disliked to perform prayer? He said: 'Yes, when you have prayed the Subh, then do not pray until the sun has risen, for it rises between the two horns of Satan. Then pray, for the prayer is attended (by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allâh) until the sun is right overhead like a spear. For at that time Hell is heated up and its gates are opened. (Then refrain from prayer) until the sun passes the zenith. Then when it has passed the zenith, the prayer is attended (by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allâh) until you pray the Asr. Then stop praying until the sun has set.''' (Hasan)
