Shahih Muslim - 1024

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Habib Al Haritsi] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Khalid bin Al Harits] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Sayyar bin Salamah] katanya; aku mendengar Ayahku bertanya [Abu Barzah] tentang shalat Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, Sayyar menjawab, aku pernah bertanya kepada ayahku; 'Apakah engkau mendengarnya dari Abu Barzah? Ayahku menjawab; "Seperti aku memperdengarkan kepadamu saat ini." Kata Sayyar; aku dengar ayahku bertanya kepada Abu Barzah tentang shalat Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. Kata ayahku; Rasulullah tidak mempedulikan, sebagian beliau akhirkan, kata ayahku, yakni shalat isya` hingga pertengahan malam, dan beliau tidak suka tidur sebelum isya`, tidak suka bicara setelah isya`." Kata Syu'bah; Kemudian aku menanyainya dan ia berkata; "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menyukai zhuhur ketika matahari tergelincir dan ashar ketika seseorang pergi ke penghujung Madinah dan matahari masih meninggi." Syu'bah melanjutkan; "Dan waktu shalat maghrib, aku tidak mengetahuinya, bagaimana ia menyebutkan, setelah itu aku menemui Abu Barzah dan bertanya kepadanya, dia menjawab; "Dan beliau melaksanakan shalat shubuh dan beranjak pergi ketika seseorang mengenal wajah teman duduknya, dan beliau membaca enam puluh sampai seratus ayat (dalam shalat shubuh)." (HR. Muslim: 1024)

Sayyar b. Salama reported: I heard my father asking Abu Barza (al- Aslami) about the prayer of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) I (Shu'ba, one of the narrators) said: Did you hear it (from Abu Barza)? He said: 1 feel as if I am bearing you at this very time. He said: I heard my father asking about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and he (Abu Barza) making this reply: He (the Holy Prophet) did not mind delaying-some (prayer) i. e. 'Isya' prayer, even up to the midnight and did not like sleeping before observing it, and talking after it. Shu'ba said: I met him subsequently and asked him (about the prayers of the Holy Prophet) and he said: He observed the noon prayer when the sun was past the meridian, he would pray the afternoon prayer, after which a person would o to the outskirts of Medina and the sun was still bright; (I forgot what he said about the evening prayer) ; I then met him on a subsequent occasion and asked him (about the prayers of the Holy Prophet; and he said: He would observe the morning prayer (at such a time) so that a man would go back and would recognise his neighbour by casting a glance at his face, and he would recite from sixty to one hundred verses in it.
