524. Abû Bakr bin Abî Mûsâ narrated that his father said: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ asking him about the times of prayer, and he did not answer him. He told Bilâl to say the Iqâmah at dawn broke, then he told him to say the Iqâmah for Zuhr when the sun had passed its zenith and a person would say: 'It is the middle of the day,' but he (the Prophet ﷺ) knew better. Then he told him to say the Iqâmah for Asr when the sun was still high. Then he told him to say the Iqâmah for Maghrib when the sun had set. Then he told him to say the Iqâmah for Ishâ' when the twilight had disappeared. Then the next day he told him to say the Iqâmah for Fajr, at a time such that when after he had finished one would say: 'The sun has risen.' Then he delayed Zuhr until it was nearly the time of Asr compared to the day before. Then he delayed Asr, to a time such that when he finished, one would say: 'The sun has turned red.' Then he delayed Maghrib until the twilight was about to disappear. Then he delayed Ishâ' until one-third of the night had passed. Then he said: 'The time (for prayer) is between these times.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

523 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، عَنْ بَدْرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ إِمْلَاءً عَلَيَّ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَائِلٌ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ مَوَاقِيتِ الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا، فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَقَامَ بِالْفَجْرِ حِينَ انْشَقَّ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ بِالظُّهْرِ حِينَ زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَائِلُ يَقُولُ: انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ بِالْعَصْرِ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ بِالْمَغْرِبِ حِينَ غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ بِالْعِشَاءِ حِينَ غَابَ الشَّفَقُ، ثُمَّ أَخَّرَ الْفَجْرَ مِنَ الْغَدِ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ وَالْقَائِلُ يَقُولُ: طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ أَخَّرَ الظُّهْرَ إِلَى قَرِيبٍ مِنْ وَقْتِ الْعَصْرِ بِالْأَمْسِ، ثُمَّ أَخَّرَ الْعَصْرَ حَتَّى انْصَرَفَ وَالْقَائِلُ يَقُولُ: احْمَرَّتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ أَخَّرَ الْمَغْرِبَ حَتَّى كَانَ عِنْدَ سُقُوطِ الشَّفَقِ، ثُمَّ أَخَّرَ الْعِشَاءَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «الْوَقْتُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ»
