اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، قال : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَزْدِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قال شُعْبَةُ : كَانَ قَتَادَةُ يَرْفَعُهُ أَحْيَانًا وَأَحْيَانًا لَا يَرْفَعُهُ ، قال : " وَقْتُ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ مَا لَمْ تَحْضُرِ الْعَصْرُ ، وَوَقْتُ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ مَا لَمْ تَصْفَرَّ الشَّمْسُ ، وَوَقْتُ الْمَغْرِبِ مَا لَمْ يَسْقُطْ ثَوْرُ الشَّفَقِ ، وَوَقْتُ الْعِشَاءِ مَا لَمْ يَنْتَصِفْ اللَّيْلُ ، وَوَقْتُ الصُّبْحِ مَا لَمْ تَطْلُعِ الشَّمْسُ " .
´It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr - and (one of the narrators) Shu'bah said:` "Sometimes he (Qatadah, his teacher) narrated it as a Marfu' report and sometimes he did not" - "The time for Zuhr prayer is until 'Asr comes, and the time for 'Asr prayer is until the sun turns yellow. the time for Maghrib is until the twilight disappears, and the time for 'Isha' is until the night is halfway through, and the time for Subh is until the sun rises."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
523. Commentary: The last time for Maghrib is until the redness of the sun disappears. Imam Abu Hanifah rahimahullah is the only jurist who has interpreted "shafaq" as whiteness instead of redness, which occurs after the redness, but this is contrary to both language and common usage. Even his own students do not agree with him on this. It is narrated with an authentic chain, as a mawquf report, from Ibn Umar radi Allahu anhuma, that he said: «الشَّفَق الحمرۃ» "By shafaq is meant redness." (Sunan al-Daraqutni (Muhaqqiq): 1/588)
In reality, it appears that the Imam based the time of Maghrib on analogy with the time of Fajr. The time of Fajr, by consensus, begins with whiteness. The reason for this analogy is that both prayers are at the beginning and end edges of the night, so they should be similar. However, in the presence of a clear text, analogy is not acceptable.
