[1462] 235 - (647) It was narrated from Shu'bah who said: “Sayyâr bin Salâmah informed me: 'I heard my father asking Abû Barzah about the prayer of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.'” He said: “I said: 'Did you hear him?' He said: 'It is as if I can hear him now.' He said: 'I heard my father asking him about the prayer of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.'” He said: “He did not mind delaying some of them,” meaning 'Ishâ', "until halfway through the night, and he did not like to sleep before 'Ishâ' nor speak afterwards." Shu'bah said: "Then I met him later on and I asked him, and he said: 'He used to pray Zuhr when the sun passed its zenith, and he prayed Asr and a man could go to the farthest part of Al-Madînah and the sun would still be bright.' As for Maghrib, I do not know what time he mentioned. Then I met him after that and I asked him, and he said: 'He used to pray Subh and a man would leave, looking at his companion whom he knew, and he would recognize him. And he used to recite between sixty and one hundred verses in it.'"

235 - (647) وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَيَّارُ بْنُ سَلَامَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، يَسْأَلُ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ، عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: آنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: كَأَنَّمَا أَسْمَعُكَ السَّاعَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " كَانَ لَا يُبَالِي بَعْضَ تَأْخِيرِهَا - قَالَ: يَعْنِي الْعِشَاءَ - إِلَى نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ، وَلَا يُحِبُّ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا، وَلَا الْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا "، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: ثُمَّ لَقِيتُهُ بَعْدُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ، وَالْعَصْرَ يَذْهَبُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ»، قَالَ: وَالْمَغْرِبَ لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّ حِينٍ ذَكَرَ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ لَقِيتُهُ بَعْدُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ فَيَنْصَرِفُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَجْهِ جَلِيسِهِ الَّذِي يَعْرِفُ فَيَعْرِفُهُ»، قَالَ: «وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِالسِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ»
