My father and I went to Abu Barza-al-Aslami to ask him about the stated times for the prayers. He replied, "The Prophet ﷺ used to offer the Zuhr prayer when the sun just declined from its highest position at noon; the ʿAsr at a time when if a man went to the farthest place in Medina (after praying) he would find the sun still hot (bright). (The sub narrator said: I have forgotten what Abu Barza said about the Maghrib prayer). The Prophet ﷺ never found any harm in delaying the ʿIsha' prayer to the first third of the night and he never liked to sleep before it and to talk after it. He used to offer the morning prayer at a time when after finishing it one could recognize the person sitting beside him and used to recite between 60 to 100 verses in one or both the rakʿat."  

دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي عَلَى أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الأَسْلَمِيِّ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ وَقْتِ الصَّلَوَاتِ فَقَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ وَالْعَصْرَ وَيَرْجِعُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ وَنَسِيتُ مَا قَالَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ وَلاَ يُبَالِي بِتَأْخِيرِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ وَلاَ يُحِبُّ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا وَلاَ الْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا وَيُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ فَيَنْصَرِفُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَعْرِفُ جَلِيسَهُ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ إِحْدَاهُمَا مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ  

My father and I went to Abi Barza Al-Aslami and my father said to him, "Tell us how Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to offer the compulsory congregational prayers." He said, "He used to pray the Zuhr prayer, which you call the first prayer, as the sun declined at noon, the ʿAsr at a time when one of US could go to his family at the farthest place in Medina while the sun was still hot. (The narrator forgot what Abu Barza had said about the Maghrib prayer), and the Prophet ﷺ preferred to pray the ʿIsha' late and disliked to sleep before it or talk after it. And he used to return after finishing the morning prayer at such a time when it was possible for one to recognize the person sitting by his side and he (the Prophet) used to recite 60 to 100 'Ayat' (verses) of the Qur'an in it."

"I entered upon Abu Barzah, and my fatehr asked him: 'How did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray the prescribed prayers?' He said: 'He used to pray Zuhr, which you call Al-Uula (the first) when the sun passed its zenith; he used to pray 'Asr when one of us could go back to his hoome in the farthest part of Al-Madinah while the sun was still bright.' I forgot what he said about Maghrib. 'And he used to like to delay 'Isha', which you call Al-'Atamah, and he did not like to sleep before it nor talk after it. And he used to finish the Al-Ghadah (Fajr) prayer when a man could recognize his neighbor, and he used to recite (in it) between sixty and one hundred verses.'"

[Machine] My father and I entered upon Abu Barzah and asked him about the timing of the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said, "He used to pray Dhuhr when the sun declined, and Asr when the man returned to the farthest part of the city while the sun was still bright, and Maghrib when it was actually set, and he said that I forgot Isha, whether it was in one of the two Rak'ahs or in both of them. And he would not like to sleep before it, and would have conversations after it. And he would pray Fajr and then the man would leave, recognizing the face of his companion. And he would recite in it from the sixtieth to the hundredth verse." He said, "I forgot whether it was in one of the two Rak'ahs or in both of them."  

دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي عَلَى أَبِي بَرْزَةَ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ وَقْتِ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ وَالْعَصْرَ يَرْجِعُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ وَالْمَغْرِبَ قَالَ سَيَّارٌ نَسِيتُهَا وَالْعِشَاءَ لَا يُبَالِي بَعْضَ تَأْخِيرِهَا إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ وَكَانَ لَا يُحِبُّ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا وَالْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ فَيَنْصَرِفُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَعْرِفُ وَجْهَ جَلِيسِهِ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا مَا بَيْنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ قَالَ سَيَّارٌ لَا أَدْرِي أَفِي إِحْدَى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ فِي كِلْتَيْهِمَا  

[Machine] "I entered with my father to visit Abu Barza Al-Aslami, who was sitting on a high couch made of reeds. My father asked him about the time of the Prophet's ﷺ prayers. Abu Barza replied, 'He used to pray Dhuhr (midday) when the sun started to decline, then he would pray Asr (afternoon prayer). After that, one of us would go to his family in the farthest part of the city while the sun was still bright.' I forgot what he mentioned about Maghrib (evening prayer). 'It was preferable to delay Isha (night prayer) to the time you call darkness. The Prophet would leave from Fajr (dawn prayer), and a person would recognize his companion. Additionally, he would recite from around sixty to one hundred verses in it.'"

I along with my father went to Abu- Barza Al-Aslami and my father asked him, "How Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to offer the five compulsory congregational prayers?" Abu- Barza said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to pray the Zuhr prayer which you (people) call the first one at midday when the sun had just declined The ʿAsr prayer at a time when after the prayer, a man could go to the house at the farthest place in Medina (and arrive) while the sun was still hot. (I forgot about the Maghrib prayer). The Prophet ﷺ Loved to delay the ʿIsha which you call Al- ʿAtama [??] and he disliked sleeping before it and speaking after it. After the Fajr prayer he used to leave when a man could recognize the one sitting beside him and he used to recite between 60 to 100 Ayat (in the Fajr prayer) . (Using translation from Bukhārī 547)
