The time of Maghrib

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We used to offer the Maghrib prayer behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then we would return to our homes, which were a mile away, and at that time I could see where an arrow landed.
Ahmad, al-Bazzar and Abu Ya'la recorded it from Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil. There is disagreement about using him as evidence; al-Tirmidhi declared him thiqah (trustworthy), and Ahmad and others used him as evidence.

Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We used to offer the Maghrib prayer behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then we would go back to the market, and if one of us shot an arrow, you could see where his arrow landed.
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a narrator, Salih the freed slave of al-Taw'amah, who suffered from confusion (ikhtilat) at the end of his life. Yahya bin Ma'in says: Ibn Abi Dhi'b heard from him before the confusion, and this report is narrated from him by Ibn Abi Dhi'b.

Ali bin Bilal narrates this from some of the Ansar; they said: We used to offer the Maghrib prayer behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then we would go back, moving along quickly until we reached our quarters, and the place where his arrow landed would not be hidden from any one of us (that is, there was enough light for the eye to see that far).
Ahmad recorded it, and its chain is hasan (good).

Sayyiduna al-Sa'ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Ummah will remain upon the fitrah (natural way) as long as they offer the Maghrib prayer before the stars appear."
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy.

Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Offer the Maghrib prayer at the time the fasting person breaks his fast, and offer it before the stars come out."
Ahmad recorded it. Al-Tabarani recorded these words in it: "Offer the Maghrib prayer as soon as the sun sets." Ahmad recorded this report from Yazid bin Abi Habib, from a man, from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him), and the remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy). Al-Tabarani recorded it from Yazid bin Abi Habib, from Aslam Abu Imran, from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), and its narrators have been declared trustworthy.

Sayyiduna Abu Zarif (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he (peace and blessings be upon him) laid siege to Ta'if. He led us in the "Nasr" prayer, such that if a man shot an arrow, he could see where the arrow landed.
Ahmad recorded it. Its chain contains a narrator, al-Walid bin Abdullah bin Shumaylah, and I have not found anyone who mentions him. The narrators of the "Musnad" at this place are not with me now. Al-Tabarani recorded this report in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and narrated "Asr" in place of the word "Nasr", and this is an error (wahm). And Allah knows best. I say: This narrator al-Walid is al-Walid bin Abdullah bin Sumayrah, as al-Tabarani recorded it. Ibn Hibban mentioned this narrator in the book "al-Thiqat", and he mentioned this narrator's report from Sayyiduna Abu Zarif (may Allah be pleased with him), and that there is disagreement about the name of his grandfather. And Allah knows best.

Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We used to offer the Maghrib prayer behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then we would come to the quarter of Banu Salimah, and on reaching there, in the quarter of Banu Salimah, which was the farthest area of Madinah, we could see where our arrows landed.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; however, he recorded these words in it: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would offer the Maghrib prayer, and some men of Banu Salimah would pray behind him, then they would return to the quarter of Banu Salimah and could see where an arrow landed. The chain of this report contains a narrator, Umar bin Muhammad al-Qadi, whom Yahya bin Ma'in, al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him), al-Nasa'i (may Allah have mercy on him) and others declared da'if (weak). Zakariyya bin Yahya al-Saji says: He was saduq (truthful), but he was not among the experts of hadith. Ibn Adi says: He is hasan al-hadith (good in hadith); his hadith is to be written down despite his weakness.

Abdul Rahman bin Abdullah bin Ka'b bin Malik narrates that one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told him that they used to offer the Maghrib prayer behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then return to the quarter of Banu Salimah, and they could see where an arrow landed if an arrow was shot.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and he says: Yunus recorded this report in the same way from Ibn Shihab, from Ibn Ka'b, who says: A man told me this. The narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Abu Mahdhurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you call the adhan for Maghrib, call it promptly, when the sun has set."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its chain is hasan (good).

This report is also narrated from him in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. He narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "At the time of Maghrib, give (the adhan) promptly, when the sun has set."
Its chain is hasan (good).

Sayyiduna al-Harith bin Wahb (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Ummah will remain upon (the teachings of) Islam as long as they do not delay Maghrib until the stars begin to shine, which is the way of the Jews, and as long as they do not offer the Fajr prayer so early, which is the way of the Christians, and as long as they do not leave funerals (janazahs) to the deceased's own family."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a narrator, Mandal bin Ali, in whom there is weakness. A hadith about its virtue has already passed in the chapter on the middle prayer.

Sayyiduna al-Sunabihi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Ummah will remain upon the teachings of the religion as long as they do not wait for the stars to shine for Maghrib, which is the way of the Jews, and as long as they do not delay Fajr so much, which is the way of the Christians."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).

Abdul Rahman bin Yazid narrates: We were with Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) on the road to Makkah. When the sun set, he said: This is ghasaq al-layl (the darkening of the night). Then he called the adhan, and then he said: By the One besides whom there is no god, this is the time of this prayer.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its chain is hasan (good).

It is also reported from him; he narrates: We were with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). When the sun set, he said: By the One besides whom there is no god, this is the time when the sun has set and the time of prayer has begun.
The chain of this report is sahih (authentic).

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: What is meant by the "duluk" of the sun is its setting. When the sun sets, the Arabs say of it: "dalakat".
The chain of this report is hasan (good).

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says about "until the darkening of the night": What is meant by it is the Isha prayer.
The chain of this report contains a narrator, Jabir bin Yazid al-Ju'fi, and he is da'if (weak); Shu'bah and Sufyan declared him thiqah (trustworthy).
