514. It was narrated from Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh that Jibrîl came to the Prophet ﷺ to teach him the times of prayer. Jibrîl went forward, with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ behind him and the people behind the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and he prayed Zuhr when the sun had passed its zenith. Then he came to him when the shadow of a person was equal to his height, and did as he had done before; Jibrîl went forward, with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ behind him and the people behind the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and he prayed 'Asr. Then Jibrîl came to him when the sun had set; Jibrîl went forward, with
the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ behind him and the people behind the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he prayed Maghrib. Then he came to him when the twilight had disappeared; Jibrīl went forward, with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ behind him and the people behind the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he prayed Ishā. Then he came to him when dawn broke; Jibrīl went forward, with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ behind him and the people behind the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and he prayed Al-Ghadāh.[1] Then he came to him on the second day when a man's shadow was equal to his height, and did as he had done the day before, he prayed Zuhr. Then he came to him when the shadow of a man was twice his height, and did what he had done the day before, and prayed Asr. Then he came to him when the sun had set and did what he had done the day before, and prayed Maghrib. Then we slept and got up, and slept and got up again. Then he came to him and did what he had done the day before and prayed Ishā. Then he came to him when the (the light of) dawn was spread (on the horizon)[2] and the stars were still clear in the sky, and he did the same as he had done the day before, and prayed Al-Ghadāh. Then he said: 'The time
between these two is the time for prayer.” (Sahīh)
