(a) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the middle prayer is the morning prayer.
(b) Likewise, this report is also transmitted from Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), and he too drew from it the same evidence that Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) drew. This is also the view of Tawus, Mujahid, Ikrimah and Ata' (may Allah have mercy on them).
