Hadith 1542
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الشَّطَوِيُّ ، بِبَغْدَادَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمْةَ يَحْيَى بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ ، عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : سَأَلَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ أَنْتَ بِهِ عَالِمٌ ، وَأَنَا بِهِ جَاهِلٌ ، قَالَ : " مَا هُوَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : هَلْ مِنْ سَاعَاتِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ سَاعَةٌ تُكْرَهُ فِيهَا الصَّلاةُ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ ، إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الصُّبْحَ ، فَدَعِ الصَّلاةَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ لِقَرْنِ الشَّيْطَانِ ، ثُمَّ صَلِّ وَالصَّلاةُ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ حَتَّى تَسْتَوِيَ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ كَالرُّمْحِ ، فَإِذَا كَانَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ كَالرُّمْحِ فَدَعِ الصَّلاةَ ، فَإِنَّهَا السَّاعَةُ الَّتِي تُسْجَرُ فِيهَا جَهَنَّمَ ، وَيُغَمُّ فِيهَا زَوَايَاهَا حَتَّى تَزِيغَ ، فَإِذَا زَاغَتْ فَالصَّلاةُ مَحْضُورَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ الْعَصْرَ ، ثُمَّ دَعِ الصَّلاةَ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Safwan bin Mu'attal (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: O Messenger of Allah! I want to ask you about something which you know and I am unaware of. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What is that thing? He said: Is there any time during the day or night in which performing prayer is disliked? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Yes, when you have performed the morning prayer, then refrain from prayer until the sun rises from between the horns of Satan. Then you may perform prayer and it will be accepted until the sun is directly overhead like a spear above your head. When it is directly overhead like a spear, then refrain from prayer, for this is a time when Hell is kindled and its corners are joined together, until the sun declines. When it declines, then (the angels') attendance is present in the prayer and it is accepted, until when you have performed the Asr prayer, then refrain from prayer until the sun sets.
