Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلميُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَيُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ وَإِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَيَرْجِعُ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ وَنَسِيتُ الْمَغْرِبَ وَكَانَ لاَ يُبَالِي تَأْخِيرَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ . قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ . قَالَ وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا وَالْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ وَمَا يَعْرِفُ أَحَدُنَا جَلِيسَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَعْرِفُهُ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا مِنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ .
Translation
Abu Barzah reported
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to pray Zuhr when the sun passed its meridian, and he used to pray 'Asr, after which one of us would go to the farthest part of Al-Madinah and return while the sun was still bright — and I forgot Al-Maghrib. He did not mind delaying 'Isha' until a third of the night had passed. He said: Then he said: Or until the middle of the night. He used to dislike sleeping before it and talking after it, and he used to pray Fajr when a man could recognize the companion sitting next to him whom he knew, and he would recite in it from sixty to a hundred verses.
