اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " إِذَا دَحَضَتِ الشَّمْسُ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ، وَقَرَأَ بِنَحْوٍ مِنْ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى ، وَالْعَصْرِ كَذَلِكَ ، وَالصَّلَوَاتِ كَذَلِكَ إِلَّا الصُّبْحَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُطِيلُهَا " .
Jabir bin Samurah said: When the sun declined, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the noon prayer and recited surahs lie "By the night when it covers over" (92) and (recited similar surahs) in the afternoon prayer, and in the other prayers except the dawn prayer which he used to prolong.

Commentary:
(1)
The time for the Zuhr prayer begins from the declining of the sun, as is established by the noble verse: ﴿اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوةَ لِدُلُوْكِ الشَّمْسِ﴾ (: Bani Isra'il 17:78) — "Establish the prayer at the declining of the sun." This is what is proven from it.
(2)
The practice of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was to perform the prayer at its earliest time.
