[Machine] He asked the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Prophet of Allah, I ask you about something that you know of and I am ignorant of, a specific time during the day when prayer is disliked." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When you pray Fajr, refrain from praying until the sun rises. When it rises, then pray. For indeed, prayer during that time is forbidden and accepted until it reaches the height of a spear. Once it reaches the height of a spear, then indeed Hellfire is opened and its gates are opened until it moves away from your right eyebrow. Once it moves away from your right eyebrow, then pray. For indeed, prayer during that time is forbidden and accepted until you perform Asr prayer."

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, are there any specific times during the day and night when I should not pray?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "If you pray Fajr (before sunrise), then shorten your prayers until the sun has risen, for it rises between the horns of Satan. After that, the prayer is witnessed but prohibited until midday. When midday has passed, shorten your prayers until the sun starts to decline, for at that time Hellfire is kindled and its heat intensifies. When the sun has set, the prayer is witnessed but prohibited until you have performed Asr prayer. Once you have performed Asr prayer, shorten your prayers until the sun has set between the horns of Satan. After that, the prayer is witnessed but prohibited until you have performed Fajr prayer again."

Then the prayer is forbidden, but acceptable, until midday. When midday comes, then shorten your prayer until the sun starts to decline; for at that time it is as if Hell is kindled and the intensity of the heat is from a breath of Hell. When the sun sets, then the prayer is seen but forbidden, until you pray Asr (afternoon prayer). When you pray Asr, then shorten your prayer until the sun sets; then the prayer is seen but forbidden, until you pray Fajr."
