Hadith text

Narrated Saiyar bin Salama:My father and I went to Abu Barza-al-Aslami to ask him about the stated times for the prayers. He replied, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer the Zuhr prayer when the sun just declined from its highest position at noon; the `Asr at a time when if a man went to the farthest place in Medina (after praying) he would find the sun still hot (bright). (The sub narrator said: I have forgotten what Abu Barza said about the Maghrib prayer). The Prophet (ﷺ) never found any harm in delaying the `Isha' prayer to the first third of the night and he never liked to sleep before it and to talk after it. He used to offer the morning prayer at a time when after finishing it one could recognize the person sitting beside him and used to recite between 60 to 100 verses in one or both the rak`at

Saiyar bin Salama bataate hain: "Main aur mere waalid Abu Barza Al-Aslami ke paas gaye namazon ke waqt poochne. Unhone jawab diya: 'Nabi Zuhr padhte the jab suraj dopahar se dhal jaata; Asr aise waqt padhte ke agar koi shaks (namaz ke baad) Madina ke door-tareen jagah tak jaata, wapas aane par suraj abhi tez hota.' (Rawi ko Maghrib ke baare mein yaad nahi.) "Nabi Isha ko raat ke pehle tihai tak taalne mein koi harj nahi samajhte the, aur usse pehle sona ya baad mein baat karna napasand karte the. Aap subah ki namaz us waqt padhte jab namaz ke baad koi apne pados mein baithe shaks ko pehchaan sakta, aur ek ya donon rakaton mein 60 se 100 ayaat tilawat karte."
