suyuti:4485a

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Gabriel ﷺ led me in prayer at the House (i.e. the Ka'bah). He prayed the noon prayer with me when the sun had passed the meridian to the extent of the thong of a sandal; he prayed the afternoon prayer with me when the shadow of everything was as long as itself; he prayed the sunset prayer with me when one who is fasting breaks the fast; he prayed the night prayer with me when the twilight had ended; and he prayed the dawn prayer with me when food and drink become forbidden to one who is keeping the fast. On the following day he prayed the noon prayer with me when his shadow was as long as himself; he prayed the afternoon prayer with me when his shadow was twice as long as himself; he prayed the sunset prayer at the time when one who is fasting breaks the fast; he prayed the night prayer with me when about the third of the night had passed; and he prayed the dawn prayer with me when there was a fair amount of light. Then turning to me he said: Muhammad, this is the time observed by the prophets before you, and the time is anywhere between two times. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 393)   

السيوطي:٤٤٨٥a

"أَمَّنِي جبريلُ عِنْدَ البيتِ مَرَّتَين؛ فَصَلَّى بي الظُّهْرَ حيثُ زَالت الشَّمسُ، وكانت قدرَ الشِّراكِ، وصلَّى بي العَصْرَ حين كان ظلُّهُ مِثْلَه، وصلَّى بي المغربَ حين أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ، وصلَّى بي العِشَاءَ حين غابَ الشَّفَقُ، وصلَّى بي الفجْرَ حين حَرُمَ الطَّعَامُ والشرابُ على الصائِم؛ فلما كان الغدُ صلى الظُّهرَ حين كان ظِلُّه مِثْلَه، وصلَّى بي العصرَ حين كان ظِلُّهُ مِثْلَيهِ، وصلَّى بي المغربَ حين أَفطرَ الصَّائِمُ، وصلَّى بي العِشَاءَ إِلى ثُلُثِ الليل، وصلَّى بِي الفَجْرَ فأَسْفَر. ثُمَّ التفتَ إِليَّ جِبْرِيلُ وقال: يا مُحَمَّد: هذَا وَقْتُ الأَنْبياءِ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ - والوقْتُ ما بين هَذَينِ الْوَقْتَينِ".

the Prophet said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) led me (in Salat) twice at the House. So he prayed Zuhr the first time when the shadow was similar to (the length of) the strap a sandal. Then he prayed Asr when everything was similar (to the length of) its shadow. Then he prayed Maghrib when the sun had set and the fasting person breaks fast. Then he prayed Isha when the twilight had vanished. Then he prayed Fajr when Fajr (dawn) began, and when eating is prohibited for the fasting person. The second time he prayed Zuhr when the shadow of everything was similar to (the length of) it, at the time of Asr the day before. Then he prayed Asr when the shadow of everything was about twice as long as it. Then he prayed Maghrib at the same time as he did the first time. Then he prayed Isha, the later one, when a third of the night had gone. Then he prayed Subh when the land glowed. Then Jibril turned towards me and said: "O Muhammad! These are the times of the Prophets before you, and the (best) time is what is between these two times."
