ahmad:17014Ghundar > ʿIkrimah b. ʿAmmār

[Machine] Shaddad ibn Abdullah reported to me that he had met a group of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ . They narrated to me that Abu Umamah reported from Amr ibn Absah, who said, "I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me something that Allah has taught you.' He replied, 'When you pray the morning prayer (Fajr), shorten your prayer until the sun rises. Then, do not pray until it reaches its zenith, for it rises between the horns of Satan, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it. When it reaches the length of a spear or two, then pray, for the prayer is witnessed and prohibited until the shadow is inclined towards the east. Then, shorten your prayer, for it is at that time that Hell is fueled. When the sun sets, then pray, for the prayer is witnessed and prohibited until you pray the afternoon prayer (Asr). When you pray the afternoon prayer, shorten your prayer until the sun sets, for it sets between the horns of Satan, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it."

I asked: Messenger of Allah, in which part of night the supplication is more likely to be accepted? He replied: In the last part: Pray as much as you like, for the prayer is attended by the angels and it is recorded till you offer the dawn prayer; then stop praying when the sun is rising till it has reached the height of one or two lances, for it rises between the two horns of the Devil, and the infidels offer prayer for it (at that time). Then pray as much as you like, because the prayer is witnessed and recorded till the shadow of a lance be- comes equal to it. Then cease prayer, for at that time the Hell-fire is heated up and doors of Hell are opened. When the sun declines, pray as much as you like, for the prayer is witnessed till you pray the afternoon prayer; then cease prayer till the sun sets, for it sets between the horns of the Devil, and (at that time) the infidels offer prayer for it. He narrated a lengthy tradition. Abbas said: AbuSalam narrated this tradition in a similar manner from AbuUmamah. If I have made a mistake unintentionally, I beg pardon of Allah and repent to Him.

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was at 'Ukaz, and I asked him, "Who is following you in this matter?" He replied, "A free man and a slave, Abu Bakr and Bilal." He asked me to return until Allah makes it easy for His Messenger, so I came to him afterwards and said, "O Messenger of Allah, may Allah make me a ransom for you! There is something that I know and you do not, it does not harm you, and Allah benefits me with it. Is there any hour that is better than another hour? And is there any hour in which one should be cautious?" He said, "You have asked me about something which no one before you has asked me. Allah descends to the lowest heaven in the last third of the night and forgives all sins except for shirk and acts of disobedience. The prayer is witnessed and prohibited. Pray until the sun rises, then refrain from prayers, for it rises between the horns of Satan, and this is the prayer of the disbelievers. When the sun has risen, pray, for the prayer is witnessed and prohibited until the day becomes equal to the night. When the day becomes equal to the night, shorten your prayers, for they are hours when Hellfire is kindled. When the sun declines, pray, for the prayer is witnessed and prohibited until the sun sets. When the sun sets, shorten your prayers, for it sets between the horns of Satan, and this is the prayer of the disbelievers."

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, are there any specific times during the day and night when I should not pray?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "If you pray Fajr (before sunrise), then shorten your prayers until the sun has risen, for it rises between the horns of Satan. After that, the prayer is witnessed but prohibited until midday. When midday has passed, shorten your prayers until the sun starts to decline, for at that time Hellfire is kindled and its heat intensifies. When the sun has set, the prayer is witnessed but prohibited until you have performed Asr prayer. Once you have performed Asr prayer, shorten your prayers until the sun has set between the horns of Satan. After that, the prayer is witnessed but prohibited until you have performed Fajr prayer again."
