Bayhaqi 2051 — Praying Zuhr early when it is not very hot

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray Zuhr when the sun had passed its zenith, and he would offer Asr at such a time that one of us could go to the far end of Madinah and come back while the sun was still clear and bright. I have forgotten (what he said about) Maghrib. He used to delay Isha until a third of the night. Then Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then he said that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would (delay) it until half the night. He disliked sleeping before Isha, and likewise he disliked (worldly) talk after Isha. He (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray the morning prayer at such a time that each of us could recognise his companion, and in the Fajr prayer he (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite from sixty to a hundred verses.
