He said: ‘Yes, when youhaveprayed the Subh, then do not pray until the sun has risen, foritrises between the two horns of Satan. Then pray, for the prayer isattended (by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allah) until the sunisright overhead like a spear. For at that time Hell is heated upandits gates are opened. (Then refrain from prayer) until the sunpassesthe zenith. Then when it has passed the zenith, the prayer isattended(by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allah) until you praythe ‘Asr.Then stop praying until the sun has set.’”
