Musnad Abi Ya'la 2156 — he heard Sayyiduna Jabir saying: The Zuhr
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا ، يَقُولُ : الظُّهْرُ كَاسْمِهَا ، وَالْعَصْرُ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ بَيْضَاءُ ، وَالْمَغْرِبُ كَاسْمِهَا ، كَانَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُصَلِّي بِنَا ، وَإِنَّا نَرَى مَوَاقِعَ النَّبْلِ ، وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُعَجِّلُ الْعِشَاءَ ، وَالْفَجْرُ كَاسْمِهَا .
Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that he heard Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: "The Zuhr prayer was offered in keeping with the meaning of its name (that is, at midday), and the Asr prayer was offered while the sun was still bright and white, and Maghrib too was offered in keeping with its name (that is, right after sunset); the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would lead us in this prayer and (after finishing, there was still so much light that) we could see the places where our arrows fell. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would hasten the Isha prayer, and the Fajr prayer too was offered in keeping with its name (that is, as soon as dawn broke)."
