bayhaqi:2139Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Aḥmad b. ʿUmar b. Ḥafṣ al-Muqrī > Aḥmad b. Sulaymān al-Faqīh > ʿAbd al-Malik b. Muḥammad > Wahbb. Jarīr And ʿAbd al-Ṣamad > Shuʿbah > Saʿd b. Ibrāhīm > Muḥammad b. ʿAmr b. Ḥasan

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray Dhuhr when the sun had passed its zenith, Asr when the sun was still bright, Maghrib when the sun had set, Isha when he saw the people receding in number, he would delay it if he saw them increasing, and Fajr when it was brightening in the horizon. This is reported in the two Sahih collections from the narration of Shu'bah.  

البيهقي:٢١٣٩أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ الْمُقْرِي بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ وَعَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ قَالَا ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَسَنٍ قَالَ كَانَ الْحَجَّاجُ يُؤَخِّرُ الصَّلَاةَ فَسَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ وَالْمَغْرِبَ إِذَا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْعِشَاءَ إِذَا رَأَى فِي النَّاسِ قِلَّةً أَخَّرَ وَإِذَا رَأَى فِيهِمْ كَثْرَةً عَجَّلَ وَالصُّبْحَ بِغَلَسٍ مُخَرَّجٌ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ

We asked Jabir about the time of the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: He used to offer the Zuhr prayer in the midday heat, the 'Asr prayer when the sun was bright, the Maghrib prayer when the sun had completely set, the Isha prayer early when many people were present, but late if there were few, and the Fajr prayer in the darkness (of the dawn).

[Machine] Regarding the timing of the Prophet's prayer, he said: He used to pray Dhuhr at the beginning of the Hijri hour. He used to pray Asr while the sun was still bright. He used to pray Maghrib when it became obligatory. He used to pray Isha when the people increased, he would hasten and when they decreased, he would delay. And he used to pray Fajr when it was bright.
