حَدَّثَنِى زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ كِلاَهُمَا عَنِ الأَزْرَقِ - قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الأَزْرَقُ - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَهُ عَنْ وَقْتِ الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ « صَلِّ مَعَنَا هَذَيْنِ ». يَعْنِى الْيَوْمَيْنِ فَلَمَّا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَمَرَ بِلاَلاً فَأَذَّنَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ نَقِيَّةٌ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الْعِشَاءَ حِينَ غَابَ الشَّفَقُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ فَأَقَامَ الْفَجْرَ حِينَ طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّانِى أَمَرَهُ فَأَبْرَدَ بِالظُّهْرِ فَأَبْرَدَ بِهَا فَأَنْعَمَ أَنْ يُبْرِدَ بِهَا وَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ أَخَّرَهَا فَوْقَ الَّذِى كَانَ وَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغِيبَ الشَّفَقُ وَصَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ بَعْدَ مَا ذَهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ وَصَلَّى الْفَجْرَ فَأَسْفَرَ بِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ « أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنْ وَقْتِ الصَّلاَةِ ». فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ « وَقْتُ صَلاَتِكُمْ بَيْنَ مَا رَأَيْتُمْ ».

It was narrated from Sulaiman bin Buraidah, from his father, from the Prophet (s.a.w) that a man asked him about the times of prayer. He said to him: "Pray with us for these two," meaning these two days. When the sun had passed its zenith, he told Bilal to call the Adhan, then he told him to call the Iqamah for Zuhr. Then he told him to call the Iqamah for 'Asr when the sun was high, white and clear. Then he told him to call the Iqamah for Maghrib when the sun had set. Then he told him to call the Iqamah for 'Isha' when the twilight disappeared. Then he told him to call the Iqamah for Fajr when dawn broke. The next day, he told him to delay the Iqamah for Zuhr until the heat of the day had passed and it had cooled down somewhat. Then he prayed 'Asr when the sun was still high, but later than on the day before. He prayed Maghrib before the twilight disappeared, and he prayed 'Isha' after one-third of the night had passed, and he prayed Fajr when it had grown light. Then he said: "Where is the one who asked about the times of prayer?" The man said: "It was me, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "The times of your prayers are between what you have seen."
