Bayhaqi Q1704 — The start of the time of Zuhr

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)."
