526. Sayyâr bin Salâmah said: "I entered upon Abû Barzah, and my father asked him: 'How did the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ pray the prescribed prayers?' He said: 'He used to pray Zuhr, which you call Al-Uula (the first) when the sun passed its zenith; he used to pray Asr when one of us could go back to his home in the farthest part of Al-Madînah while the sun was still bright.' I forgot what he said about Maghrib. 'And he used to like to delay Ishâ', which you call Al-Atamah, and he did not like to sleep before it nor talk after it. And he used to finish the Al-Ghadâh (Fajr) prayer when a man could recognize his neighbor, and he used to recite (in it) between sixty and one hundred verses.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
For the since Ishâ (late evening prayer) is performed in darkness, some people called it Atamah (the prayer of darkness: Atamah - the disappearance of the sun's reddish afterglow).
