وَبِالْإِسْنَادِ: عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو قِلَابَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيَّ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ عَبَسَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، أَيُّ اللَّيْلِ خَيْرُ الدُّعَاءِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرُ ". ثُمَّ قَالَ: صَلِّ مَا شِئْتَ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ، ثُمَّ اقْتَصِرْ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ، فَإِنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ فِي قَرْنِ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَحِينَئِذٍ يَسْجُدُ الْكُفَّارُ لَهَا ثُمَّ صَلِّ إِذَا شِئْتَ، حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ فَاقْتَصِرْ، فَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ تُسْجَرُ حِينَئِذٍ، فَإِذَا فَاءَ الْفَيْءُ فَصَلِّ مَا شِئْتَ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ الْعَصْرَ، ثُمَّ اقْتَصِرْ، فَإِنَّ الشَّمْسَ تَغْرُبُ فِي قَرْنِ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَحِينَئِذٍ يَسْجُدُ الْكُفَّارُ لَهَا ". قَالَ: وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الطُّهُورِ، فَقَالَ: " إِذَا مَضْمَضْتَ فَاكَ فَإِنَّكَ تَمُجُّ خَطِيئَتَهُ، وَإِذَا غَسَلْتَ يَدَيْكَ غَسَلْتَ خَطِيئَةَ يَدَيْكَ، وَأَظْفَارِكَ، وَأَنَامِلِكَ، وَإِذَا غَسَلْتَ رِجْلَيْكَ، غَسَلْتَ خَطِيئَتَكَ مِنْ بَطْنِ قَدَمَيْكَ، وَإِذَا صَلَّيْتَ فَأَقْبَلْتَ إِلَى اللهِ بِقَلْبِكَ كَانَتْ كَفَّارَةً، وَإِنْ جَلَسْتَ وَجَبَ أَجْرُكَ

✧ He asked the Messenger of God ﷺ: 'Which part of the night is best for supplication?' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'The last part of the night.' Then he said: 'Pray as much as you wish until you pray the morning prayer, then stop until the sun rises, for it rises between the horns of Satan, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it. Then pray if you wish, until midday when you should stop, for Hell is stoked at that time. When the shadow declines, pray as much as you wish until you pray the afternoon prayer, then stop, for the sun sets between the horns of Satan, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it.' He said: I asked him about purification, and he said: 'When you rinse your mouth, you expel its sin. When you wash your hands, you wash away the sin of your hands, your nails, and your fingertips. When you wash your feet, you wash away your sin from the soles of your feet. When you pray and turn to God with your heart, it is an expiation, and if you sit, your reward is assured.'

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.
