قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا السَّكَنُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، ثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُدَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ، قَالَ:
أَتَى رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الصَّلَوَاتِ، قَالَ: فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ بِغَلَسٍ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ بِنَهَارٍ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ انْتَظَرَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ حَتَّى قِيلَ: مَا يَحْبِسُهُ ؟ ثُمَّ صَلَّى، ثُمَّ انْتَظَرَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى قِيلَ: مَا يَحْبِسُهُ ؟ ثُمَّ صَلَّى، ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: « أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ ؟ » قَالَ: هَا أَنَا ذَا، قَالَ ﷺ: « أَشَهِدْتَنَا أَمْسِ ؟ » قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ ﷺ: « وَشَهِدْتَنَا الْيَوْمَ ؟ » قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: « أَيَّ ذَلِكَ أَرَدْتَ فَهُوَ وَقْتٌ، وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَقْتٌ

✧ A man came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and asked him about the prayers. He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ prayed the dawn prayer in the dark, then he prayed the afternoon prayer in daylight. The next day, he waited for the dawn prayer until it was said: “What is keeping him?” Then he prayed. Then he waited for the afternoon prayer until it was said: “What is keeping him?” Then he prayed. Then he ﷺ said: “Where is the questioner?” He said: “Here I am.” He ﷺ said: “Did you witness us yesterday?” He said: “Yes.” He ﷺ said: “And did you witness us today?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “Whichever of these you choose is a time, and what is between them is a time.”
