Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform the ʿAsr prayer and then one could reach the ʿAwali (a place in the outskirts of Medina) while the sun was still quite high. Narrated Yunus: The distance of the ʿAwali (from Medina) was four or three miles.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ فَيَأْتِي الْعَوَالِيَ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ وَزَادَ اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يُونُسَ وَبُعْدُ الْعَوَالِي أَرْبَعَةُ أَمْيَالٍ أَوْ ثَلاَثَةٌ
