Hannad narrated to us: Waki' narrated to us, from Musa ibn Ulayy ibn Rabah, from his father, from Uqbah ibn Amir al-Juhani, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us to pray or bury our dead during three periods: when the sun rises until it has climbed higher; when the sun stands at midday until it declines; and when the sun inclines toward setting until it sets. Abu Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. Some scholars among the Prophet's Companions and others acted on this and disliked performing the funeral prayer during these times. Ibn al-Mubarak said: 'What this hadith means is that we bury our dead during them'—that is, performing the funeral prayer. He disliked performing the funeral prayer at sunrise, sunset, and when midday has been reached until the sun declines. This is the view of Ahmad and Ishaq. Al-Shafi'i said: There is no harm in performing the funeral prayer during the hours in which prayer is disliked.
