Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 7542 — Those who said: there is no prayer

Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Which hour is most beloved to Allah Almighty? He said: The last part of the night. From then until the Fajr prayer, pray as much as you wish. Then, after the sun rises, refrain from prayer for as long as the sun is like a small bow; when it becomes full, then pray. Then you may pray until the shadow (of the pillar) is exactly upright. From that time until the sun declines from the meridian, refrain from prayer, because at midday Hell is stoked. Then pray as much as you wish until the Asr prayer; after praying Asr, refrain from prayer until Maghrib, because the sun rises between the two horns of Satan and sets between them.
