أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ
أَبِي إِسْحَاق الْفَزَارِيِّ، عَنْ
الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ
مُجَاهِدٍ , قَالَ : كَانَ يُقَالُ : إِنَّ لِلصَّلَاةِ أَوَّلًا وَآخِرًا ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ نَحْوَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ .
´Abu Hurairah narrated that :` Allah's Messenger said: "Indeed for (the time of) Salat (there is a) beginning and an end. The beginning of the time for the Zuhr prayer is when the sun passes the zenith, and the end of its time is when the time for Asr enters. The beginning of the time for the Asr [prayer] is when its time enters, and the end of its time is when the sun yellows (turns pale). The beginning of the time of Maghrib is when the sun as set, and the end of its time is when the twilight has vanished (i.e., the horizon is invisible because of darkness). The beginning of the time for Isha, the later one, is when the horizon has vanished, and the end of its time is when the night is at its half. The beginning of the time for Fajr is when Fajr begins, and its end is when the sun rises."
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
English Commentary:
1:
In the hadith, the word ((أُفُقُ)) appears, by which is meant the twilight (shafaq),
that is, when the redness of the sun disappears into the darkness.
2:
This is the preferred (ikhtiyari) time;
as for the permissible (jawaz) time, it extends until the appearance of true dawn (subh sadiq), because in the hadith of Abu Qatadah it is stated: ((There is no negligence in sleep; negligence is only for the one who does not perform the prayer until the time of the next prayer arrives.))
3:
Because Muhammad ibn Fudayl narrated it as ((from al-A‘mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah)), whereas the correct version is: ((from al-A‘mash, from Mujahid, his statement)), meaning:
attributing this narration as the statement of Mujahid is more correct
than attributing it as a marfu‘ (attributed to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) statement.
