question #3 Sahih Muslim 611c, Book 5, Hadith 217 : What does the description of the sun’s shadow indicate about the time of day for the afternoon prayer?

‘A’isha, the wife of the Apostle (ﷺ), said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said the afternoon prayer (at the time) when the sun shone in her apartment and its shadow did not extend beyond her apartment.
