Sunan an-Nasa'i 584

Translation

"I came to the Messenger of Allah, who became Muslim with you?' He said: 'Free men and slaves.' I said: 'Is there any moment which brings one closer to Allah than another?' He said: 'Yes, the last part of the night, so pray as much as you want until you pray Subh, then stop until the sun has risen until and it looks like a shield and (its shinning)spreads. Then pray as much as you want until an object's shadow is at its shortest, then stop until the sun passes its zenith, for Hell is stoked at midday. Then pray 'Asr, then stop until you pray 'Asr, then stop until the sun has set, for it sets between the horns of a Shaitan and rises between the horns of a Shaitan.'" [1] [1] Similar has been recorded by Muslim.

• Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr

  حديث صحيح وطرقه كثيرة حسان شامية إلا أن قوله في هذا الحديث ثم الصلاة محضورة مشهودة حتى تغيب الشمس قد خالفه فيه غيره في هذا الحديث فقال ثم الصلاة مشهودة متقبلة حتى يصلى العصر وهذا أشبه بالسنن المأثورة في ذلك

  machine translationA sound (ṣaḥīḥ) hadith, and its routes are many, good (ḥasan) ones from the Levant, except that his words in this hadith, "then the prayer is witnessed and attended until the sun sets," have been contradicted by others in this hadith, who said, "then the prayer is witnessed and accepted until the ʿAṣr prayer is prayed," and this is closer to the transmitted Sunnah reports on that matter.
