Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ أُصَلِّي كَمَا رَأَيْتُ أَصْحَابِي يُصَلُّونَ، لاَ أَنْهَى أَحَدًا يُصَلِّي بِلَيْلٍ وَلاَ نَهَارٍ مَا شَاءَ، غَيْرَ أَنْ لاَ تَحَرَّوْا طُلُوعَ الشَّمْسِ وَلاَ غُرُوبَهَا‏.‏

Translation

Abu al-Nu‘man narrated to us: Hammad bin Zaid narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Nafi‘, from Ibn ‘Umar, who said: I pray as I saw my companions pray. I do not forbid anyone from praying at night or by day as much as he wishes, except that you should not deliberately time prayer to sunrise or sunset.
