553. It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to pray Zuhr when the sun passed its zenith, and he would pray Asr between these two prayers; and he would pray Maghrib when the sun had set, and he used to pray Ishâ' when the twilight had disappeared," then he said straight after that: "And he would pray Fajr when a man could see clearly." (Sahih)
552 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي صَدَقَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَيُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ بَيْنَ صَلَاتَيْكُمْ هَاتَيْنِ، وَيُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ إِذَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَيُصَلِّي الْعِشَاء إِذَا غَابَ الشَّفَقُ - ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلَى إِثْرِهِ: - وَيُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ إِلَى أَنْ يَنْفَسِحَ الْبَصَرُ "

1. In that period of time, people used to perform the Asr prayer delayed. It was, therefore, remarked that the Prophet's ﷺ Asr prayer used to be between your present-day Zuhr and Asr prayers. That means he used to perform it quite earlier than your present-day Asr. 2. "Could see clearly", means nothing hindered its seeing far: This is not the final time of the Fajr prayer, but it was the time when the Prophet ﷺ concluded his prayer. That is, it denotes the end of the excellent time for the Fajr prayer.
