قَالَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ {أَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ} [الإسراء: 78] قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: دُلُوكُ الشَّمْسِ زَوَالُهَا.
Allah, exalted be His praise, says: "Establish the prayer from the declining of the sun." [Surah al-Isra: 78]
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The duluk of the sun means its zawal (declining)."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The duluk of the sun means its zawal (declining)."
أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا الْحَسَنُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَفَّانَ، ثنا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: " دُلُوكُ الشَّمْسِ مَيْلُهَا بَعْدَ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that "the declining of the sun" (duluk al-shams) [Surah al-Isra: 78] means its inclining after midday.
