Sunan Abu Dawud 416 — The Time For Maghrib
حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا نُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ نَرْمِي ، فَيَرَى أَحَدُنَا مَوْضِعَ نَبْلِهِ " .
Anas bin Malik said: We used to offer the Maghrib prayer with the Prophet ﷺ and then shoot arrows, one of us could see the place where arrow would fall.
Brief Explanation
That is, the prayer would be performed immediately after sunset, such that upon completion of the prayer, so much brightness would still remain in the atmosphere that an arrow shot from a bow could be seen at the place where it fell.
