5. Book of Rites
٥۔ كِتَابُ الْمَنَاسِكِ
[Machine] In the pre-Islamic era, people used to gather after sunrise and they used to say, "Asthiru Labariana Nughiru" which means "Sun, Rise and Illuminate us so that we may change." However, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would oppose them and he would delay offering the morning prayer until just before sunrise, like the prayer of the travelers or the prayer of the early morning.
كَانَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يُفِيضُونَ مِنْ جَمْعٍ بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ أَشْرِقْ ثَبِيرُ لَعَلَّنَا نُغِيرُ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَالَفَهُمْ فَدَفَعَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ بِقَدْرِ صَلَاةِ الْمُسْفِرِينَ أَوْ قَالَ الْمُشْرِقِينَ بِصَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ
