Sahih Muslim Book - 5, Hadith - 1462

وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِى سَيَّارُ بْنُ سَلاَمَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِى يَسْأَلُ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ عَنْ صَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- - قَالَ - قُلْتُ آنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ كَأَنَّمَا أَسْمَعُكَ السَّاعَةَ - قَالَ - سَمِعْتُ أَبِى يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ صَلاَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ كَانَ لاَ يُبَالِى بَعْضَ تَأْخِيرِهَا - قَالَ يَعْنِى الْعِشَاءَ - إِلَى نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَلاَ يُحِبُّ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا وَلاَ الْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا. قَالَ شُعْبَةُ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُهُ بَعْدُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ وَكَانَ يُصَلِّى الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ وَالْعَصْرَ يَذْهَبُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ - قَالَ - وَالْمَغْرِبَ لاَ أَدْرِى أَىَّ حِينٍ ذَكَرَ. قَالَ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُهُ بَعْدُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ وَكَانَ يُصَلِّى الصُّبْحَ فَيَنْصَرِفُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَجْهِ جَلِيسِهِ الَّذِى يَعْرِفُ فَيَعْرِفُهُ. قَالَ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا بِالسِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ.

It was narrated from Shu'bah who said: "Sayyar bin Salamah informed me: 'I heard my father asking Abu Barzah about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w).'" He said: "I said: 'Did you hear him?' He said: 'It is as if I can hear him now.' He said: 'I heard my father asking him about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w).'" He said: "He did not mind delaying some of them," meaning 'Isha', "until halfway through the night, and he did not like to sleep before 'Isha' nor speak afterwards." Shu'bah said: "Then I met him later on and I asked him, and he said: 'He used to pray Zuhr when the sun passed its zenith, and he prayed 'Asr and a man could go to the farthest part of Al-Madinah and the sun would still be bright.' As for Maghrib, I do not know what time he mentioned. Then I met him after that and I asked him, and he said: 'He used to pray Subh and a man would leave, looking at his companion whom he knew, and he would recognize him. And he used to recite between sixty and one hundred verses in it."'
