نَافِعُ بْنُ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

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.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَّنِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَصَلَّى بِيَ الظُّهْرَ حِينَ زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَكَانَتْ قَدْرَ الشِّرَاكِ وَصَلَّى بِيَ الْعَصْرَ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّهُ مِثْلَهُ وَصَلَّى بِيَ يَعْنِي الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ وَصَلَّى بِيَ الْعِشَاءَ حِينَ غَابَ الشَّفَقُ وَصَلَّى بِيَ الْفَجْرَ حِينَ حَرُمَ الطَّعَامُ وَالشَّرَابُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ صَلَّى بِيَ الظُّهْرَ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّهُ مِثْلَهُ وَصَلَّى بِيَ الْعَصْرَ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّهُ مِثْلَيْهِ وَصَلَّى بِيَ الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ وَصَلَّى بِيَ الْعِشَاءَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ وَصَلَّى بِيَ الْفَجْرَ فَأَسْفَرَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا وَقْتُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَالْوَقْتُ مَا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ الْوَقْتَيْنِ  

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."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ أَمَّنِي جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ فِي الأُولَى مِنْهُمَا حِينَ كَانَ الْفَىْءُ مِثْلَ الشِّرَاكِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ حِينَ كَانَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَ ظِلِّهِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ وَجَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَأَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ حِينَ غَابَ الشَّفَقُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ حِينَ بَرَقَ الْفَجْرُ وَحَرُمَ الطَّعَامُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ وَصَلَّى الْمَرَّةَ الثَّانِيَةَ الظُّهْرَ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَهُ لِوَقْتِ الْعَصْرِ بِالأَمْسِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ لِوَقْتِهِ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ الآخِرَةَ حِينَ ذَهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ حِينَ أَسْفَرَتِ الأَرْضُ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَىَّ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا وَقْتُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَالْوَقْتُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ الْوَقْتَيْنِ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّنِي جِبْرِيلُ عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ فَصَلَّى بِي الظُّهْرَ حِينَ زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَكَانَتْ بِقَدْرِ الشِّرَاكِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِي الْعَصْرَ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِي الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِي الْعِشَاءَ حِينَ غَابَ الشَّفَقُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِي الْفَجْرَ حِينَ حَرُمَ الطَّعَامُ وَالشَّرَابُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْغَدَ الظُّهْرَ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِي الْعَصْرَ حِينَ كان ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِي الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِي الْعِشَاءَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِي الْفَجْرَ فَأَسْفَرَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا وَقْتُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ الْوَقْتُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ الْوَقْتَيْنِ  

[Machine] "Or did the prophet Gabriel ﷺ come to the Prophet ﷺ twice at the house, so he prayed the noon prayer when the sun had declined and it was the length of a sandal strap, then he prayed the afternoon prayer when the shadow of everything was in proportion to it, then he prayed the sunset prayer when the fasting person broke their fast, then he prayed the night prayer when the twilight disappeared, then he prayed the dawn prayer when eating and drinking became prohibited for the one fasting, then he prayed the noon prayer the next day when the shadow of everything was in proportion to it, like the time of the afternoon prayer the previous day, then he prayed the afternoon prayer when the shadow of everything was equal to it, then he prayed the sunset prayer when the fasting person broke their fast, then he prayed the night prayer for one-third of the first part of the night, then he prayed the dawn prayer when it became light, then he said, 'O Muhammad, this is the time of the prophets before you, and the time between these two times.' As for the statement of Abdul Aziz ibn Muhammad..."  

أَمَّ جِبْرِيلُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَصَلَّى بِهِ الظُّهْرَ حِينَ زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَكَانَتْ قَدْرَ الشِّرَاكِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِ الْعَصْرَ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ بِقَدْرِهِ وَصَلَّى بِهِ الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِ الْعِشَاءَ حِينَ غَابَ الشَّفَقُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِ الْفَجْرَ حِينَ حَرُمَ الطَّعَامُ وَالشَّرَابُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِ الظُّهْرَ مِنَ الْغَدِ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ بِقَدْرِهِ كَوَقْتِ الْعَصْرِ بِالْأَمْسِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِ الْعَصْرَ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِ الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِ الْعِشَاءَ لَثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِ الْفَجْرَ حِينَ أَسْفَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا وَقْتُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَالْوَقْتُ مَا بَيْنَ هَذَيْنِ الْوَقْتَيْنِ «» وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "The Angel Gabriel led me in prayer twice near the House (the Kaaba). He prayed the Dhuhr prayer with me when the sun had passed its zenith, and its shade was equivalent to its own length. Then, he prayed the Asr prayer with me when the shadow of everything was equal to its length. Then, he prayed the Maghrib prayer with me when the fasting person broke their fast. Then, he prayed the Isha prayer with me when the twilight had disappeared. Then, he prayed the Fajr prayer with me when eating and drinking are prohibited for the fasting person. Then, he prayed the Dhuhr prayer with me the next day when the shadow of everything was equal to its length. Then, he prayed the Asr prayer with me when the shadow of everything was equal to its length. Then, he prayed the Maghrib prayer with me when the fasting person broke their fast. Then, he prayed the Isha prayer with me for the first third of the night. Then, he prayed the Fajr prayer with me when the dawn appeared. Then, he turned to me and said, 'O Muhammad, this is the timing of the Prophets before you, and the timing during these two timings (meaning the time between Dhuhr and Asr, and between Maghrib and Isha) is 1703.' Abu Al-Hasan Ali bin Ahmad bin Abdan informed us, Ahmad bin Ubaid As-Saffar told us, Ismail bin Ishaq told us, Ibrahim bin Hamzah Az-Zubayri told us, Abdul Aziz bin Muhammad Ad-Darawardi told us, from Abdul Rahman, who is the son of Al-Harith bin Abdullah bin Ayyash bin Abi Rabiah Al-Makhzumi, who narrated this story from Hakim mentioned it in its meaning. We have also narrated it from Jabir bin Abdullah, Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari, Abdullah bin Umar, and Abu Hurairah, and Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, regarding the story of Gabriel leading the Prophet, ﷺ , in prayer in Makkah. It is also confirmed by Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari and Buraidah bin Al-Hasaib, and Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As regarding the prayer timings in other than this story, and we convey its narration, if Allah wills."

"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".
