Hadith 2
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ وَقْتِ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ . قَالَ : فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ ، صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ حِينَ طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ مِنَ الْغَدِ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَسْفَرَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنْ وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ ؟ " قَالَ : هَأَنَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : " مَا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ وَقْتٌ "
It is narrated from Hazrat Ata bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him about the time of the morning prayer. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. When the next day came, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the prayer at the break of dawn, as soon as true dawn appeared, in darkness. Then on the third day, he performed the Fajr prayer in brightness. He said: "Where is the person who asked about the time of the Fajr prayer?" And that person spoke up, "I am here, O Messenger of Allah!" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The time for the Fajr prayer is between these two."
