حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ " يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ إِذَا دَحَضَتِ الشَّمْسُ " .
´It was narrated from Jabir bin Samurah that:` The Prophet used to pray Zuhr when the sun had passed its zenith.

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.

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:

(1)
اتَّقُوا اللَّعَّانَيْنِ:
That is, those actions which become a cause of curse and reproach,
which incite people to speak ill or invite them to do so,
meaning, by habit, people send curses upon the one who does such an act.

(2)
ألتَّخَلِّيْ:
To relieve oneself (to answer the call of nature).

(3)
طَرِيق النَّاسِ:
The pathway of people, the place where people come and go.

(3)
فِي ظِلِّهِمْ:
Their shaded place,
the place where people sit and rise,
stay,
camp,
take a midday rest (not every shaded place is meant).

Benefits and Issues:
If someone relieves himself on a path where people walk or in a shaded place where people sit to rest,
then people will be harmed and troubled by this,
as a result of which they will speak ill of him and curse him,
therefore, one should avoid such an act.
In some narrations, a third place is mentioned: watering places (the banks where people come and go for water).
The purpose is that if a person has to relieve himself outside the home,
he should sit in a place where people do not pass by and where it does not cause harm to others.
