Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِذَا طَلَعَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَدَعُوا الصَّلاَةَ حَتَّى تَبْرُزَ، وَإِذَا غَابَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَدَعُوا الصَّلاَةَ حَتَّى تَغِيبَ ‏"‏‏.‏ ‏"‏ وَلاَ تَحَيَّنُوا بِصَلاَتِكُمْ طُلُوعَ الشَّمْسِ وَلاَ غُرُوبَهَا، فَإِنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَىْ شَيْطَانٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ أَوِ الشَّيْطَانِ‏.‏ لاَ أَدْرِي أَىَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ هِشَامٌ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad narrated to us: ʿAbda informed us, from Hisham ibn ʿUrwa, from his father, from Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘When the edge of the sun appears, refrain from prayer until it has fully risen; and when the edge of the sun disappears, refrain from prayer until it has completely set.’ He also said: ‘Do not time your prayer for sunrise or sunset, for the sun rises between the two horns of a devil’—or ‘of Satan’; Hisham said, ‘I do not know which of the two he said.’
