"A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the times of prayer. He said: 'Pray with me.' So he prayed Zuhr when the sun had passsed its zenith, 'Asr when the shadow of a thing was equal to its height, Maghrib when the sun had set and 'Isha' when the twilight had disappeared." He said: "Then he prayed Zuhr when the shadow of a man was equal in length to his height, 'Asr when the length of a man's shadow was twice his height, and Maghrib just before the twilight disappeared." (One of the narrators) 'Abdullah bin Al-Harith said: "then he said: 'With regard to 'Isha' I think it is up to one-third of the night.'" [1] [1] The speaker there is Thawr, who narrated it from 'Ata' from Jabir.

[Machine] A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the timing of prayer. He prayed Dhuhr when the shadow was as long as the handle of a spear, and he prayed Asr when the shadow was the same length. He prayed Maghrib when the sun had set, and he prayed Isha when the twilight had disappeared. He prayed Fajr when the first light of dawn appeared. Then he prayed Dhuhr on the second day when the shadow was the same length, and he prayed Asr when the shadow was the same length. He prayed Maghrib when the sun had set, and he prayed Isha in the third of the night. He prayed Fajr after it had become bright. Then he said, "Verily, Jibreel informed me that the time between these two times is a time."
