Likewise, both collections report from Abū Hurayrah, with the wording:

“And prayer after Fajr until sunrise, and after Asr until sunset.”

Both collections also report from Abū Sa‘īd that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

“There is no prayer after Fajr until the sun has risen high, and no prayer after Asr until the sun has set.”

Muslim’s wording is:

“There is no prayer after the Fajr prayer or after the Asr prayer.”

Sahīh Muslim also contains the hadith of ‘Amr ibn ‘Abasah, who said: I asked, “O Messenger of Allah, tell me about prayer.” He said:

“Perform the Fajr prayer, then refrain from prayer until the sun rises, for it rises between the two horns of a devil, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it. Then pray, for prayer is attended and witnessed, until the shadow of a spear is at its shortest. Then refrain from prayer, for at that time Hell is stoked. When the shadow begins to lengthen again, pray, for prayer is witnessed and attended, until you perform Asr. Then refrain from prayer until the sun sets, for it sets between the two horns of a devil, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it.”

The hadiths specifically concerning sunrise, sunset, and the sun’s reaching its zenith include the hadith of Ibn ‘Umar, who said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

“When the sun’s rim appears, delay prayer until it has fully emerged; and when the sun’s rim disappears, delay prayer until it has fully set.”

This is Muslim’s wording. Sahīh Muslim also reports from ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Āmir, who said:

“There were three times at which the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forbade us to pray or to bury our dead: when it begins to rise
