Musnad Ahmad

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Once, near the Ka‘bah, Jibreel (peace be upon him) led me in prayer. He led me in the Zuhr prayer when the sun had passed its zenith and a strap’s length of time had elapsed. He led me in the Asr prayer when the shadow of everything became equal to its length. He led me in the Maghrib prayer at the time when the fasting person breaks his fast. He led me in the ‘Isha prayer after the twilight had disappeared. And he led me in the Fajr prayer at the time when eating and drinking becomes forbidden for the fasting person. Then, on the next day, he led me in the Zuhr prayer when the shadow of everything became equal to its length, and he led me in the Asr prayer when the shadow of everything became twice its length. He led me in the Maghrib prayer at the time when the fasting person breaks his fast. He led me in the ‘Isha prayer in the first third of the night, and he led me in the Fajr prayer when it was well lit. Then he turned to me and said: O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! This has been the time of the Prophets (peace be upon them) before you; the time for prayer is between these two times.”
