Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to lead the Asr prayer (at a time) when the sun was quite high (that is, its whiteness remained), and someone could go to the upper part of Madinah and the sun would still be high; and the upper area of Madinah is at a distance of three or four miles from Madinah.
(b) Imam al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Al-Layth, through Yunus, added that the distance of the upper part of Madinah is three or four miles.
