English translation

1253. It was narrated from Abu 'Abdullâh As-Sunâbihi that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "The sun rises between the two horns of Satan" or he said "The two horns of Satan rise with it, and when it has risen, Satan parts from it. When it is in the middle of the sky he accompanies it, then when it has crossed the zenith he parts from it. When it is about to set, he accompanies it, and when it has set he parts from it. So do not pray at these three times." (Sahih)

Arabic text

1253 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصُّنَابِحِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ تَطْلُعُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيِ الشَّيْطَانِ - أَوْ قَالَ: يَطْلُعُ مَعَهَا قَرْنَا الشَّيْطَانِ - فَإِذَا ارْتَفَعَتْ فَارَقَهَا، فَإِذَا كَانَتْ فِي وَسَطِ السَّمَاءِ قَارَنَهَا، فَإِذَا دَلَكَتْ - أَوْ قَالَ: زَالَتْ - فَارَقَهَا، فَإِذَا دَنَتْ لِلْغُرُوبِ قَارَنَهَا، فَإِذَا غَرَبَتْ فَارَقَهَا، فَلَا تُصَلُّوا هَذِهِ السَّاعَاتِ الثَّلَاثَ "

Commentary

Shaikh Albāni ﷺ has dubbed this Hadith as 'Weak'. The reason being that, among other things, it mentions that noon is the time when the two horns of Satan draw close to the sun while, contrary to this, other sound Ahādīth state that the reason for refraining from performing the prayer at noon is that at that time, Hell is heated up. The remaining part of the Hadith is, however, in agreement with other Ahādīth.
