Abu Huraira is reported to have said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited to observe prayer after the ‘Asr prayer till the sun is set, and after the dawn till the sun rises.

Ibn ‘Abbas reported: I heard it from so many Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and one among them is ‘Umar b. Khattab, and he is most dear to me among them that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited observing of prayer after the dawn prayer till the sun rose and after the ‘Asr till the sun set.

This hadith has been narrated by Qatada with the same chain of transmitters with a minor alteration of words.

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: No prayer is valid after the ‘Asr prayer till the sun sets and no prayer is valid after the dawn prayer till the sun rises.

Ibn ‘Umar reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Let not any one of you intend to observe prayer at the time of the rising of the sun or of the setting sun.

Abu Wa’il reported: A person came to ‘Abdullah, who was called Nahik b. Sinan, and the rest of the hadith is the same but for this:” Alqama came to him (‘Abdullah b. Mas’ud) and we said to him: Ask him about the manners in which he combined (two surahs) in one rak’ah. So he went to him and asked him and then came to us and said: Twenty are the mufassal surahs in the compilation (of the Qur’an) made by ‘Abdullah.”

Ibn ‘Umar reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Do not intend to observe prayer at the time of the rising of the sun nor at its setting, for it rises between the horns of Satan.

This hadith has been narrated by A’mash with the same chain of transmitters in which (‘Abdullah b. Mas’ud) said: ” I know the manners in which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited the two surahs in one rak’ah and then twenty surahs in ten rak’ahs.”

Ibn ‘Umar reported Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: When the rim of the sun starts appearing defer prayer till it completely appears, and when the rim of the sun disappears defer prayer till it completely disappears.

Abu Wa’il reported: One day we went to ‘Abdullah b. Mas’ud after we had observed the dawn prayer and we paid salutation at the door. He permitted us to enter, but we stayed for a while at the door, when the slave-girl came out and said: Why don’t you come in? So we went in and (we found ‘Abdullah b. Mas’ud) sitting and glorifying Allah (i. e. he was busy in dhikr) and he said: What obstructed you from coming in though you had been granted permission for it? We said: There was nothing (behind it) but we entertained the idea that some inmate of the house might be sleeping. He said: Do you presume any idleness on the part of the family of Ibn Umm ‘Abd (the mother of Abdullah b. Mas’ud)? He was again busy with the glorification of Allah till he thought that the sun had risen. He said: Girl, see whether (the sun) has arisen. She glanced but it had not risen (by that time). He was again busy with the glorification (of Allah) and he (again) thought that the sun had arisen. She glanced (and confirmed) that, it had risen. Upon this he (‘Abdullah b. Mas’ud) said: Praise be to Allah Who did not call us to account for our sins today. Mahdi said: I think that he said, He did not destroy us for our sins. One among the people said: I recited all the mufassal surahs during the night. ‘Abdullah said: (You must have recited them) like the (recitation) of poetry. I heard (the Holy Prophet) combining (the sarahs) and I remember the combinations which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made In the recitation (of surahs). These were constituted of eighteen mufassal surahs and two surahs (commencing with) Ha-Mim.
