164. Salmah bin Al-Akwa' narrated: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ prayed Maghrib when the sun had set and it (the sun) had hidden in the veil (of darkness)." (Sahīh)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Jābir [Aṣ-Ṣunābīhī], Zaid bin Khālid, Anas, Rāfi' bin Khadīj, Abū Ayyūb, Umm Ḥabībah, 'Abbās bin 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib, [and Ibn 'Abbās].
The Hadīth of Al-'Abbās has been reported from him in Mawqūf form,[1] and it is what is correct.
[Aṣ-Ṣunābīhī did not hear from the Prophet ﷺ, he is a companion of Abū Bakr, may Allāh be pleased with him].
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Salmah bin Al-Akwa' is a Ḥasan Sahīh Hadīth.
It is the saying of most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and those after them among the Tābi‘in: They chose the view that the Maghrib prayer should be hastened, and they disliked delaying it. Some of the people of knowledge even took the view that there is no time for the Maghrib prayer except one, and they used the Hadīth of the Prophet ﷺ in which he prayed with Jibrīl.
This is also the opinion of Ibn Al-Mubārak and Ash-Shāfi‘ī.

Commentary
In the opinion of the majority of the scholars, Maghrib (sunset prayer) has its early time as well as the last time; but offering prayer is preferred only in the early time.
