Aḥmad ibn Manīʿ narrated to us: Hushaym narrated to us: Manṣūr informed us (he was Ibn Zādhān), from Qatādah, who said: Abū al-ʿĀliyah informed us, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: I heard more than one of the Prophet’s Companions, including ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, who was among the most beloved of them to me, say that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prohibited prayer after Fajr until the sun rises, and prayer after ʿAṣr until the sun sets. There are also reports on this topic from ʿAlī, Ibn Masʿūd, Abū Saʿīd, ʿUqbah ibn ʿĀmir, Abū Hurayrah, Ibn ʿUmar, Samurah ibn Jundub, ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr, Muʿādh ibn ʿAfrāʾ, al-Ṣunābiḥī (who did not hear directly from the Prophet ﷺ), Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ, Zayd ibn Thābit, ʿĀʾishah, Kaʿb ibn Murrah, Abū Umāmah, ʿAmr ibn ʿAbasah, Yaʿlā ibn Umayyah, and Muʿāwiyah. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of Ibn ʿAbbās from ʿUmar is hasan sahih. This was the view of most jurists among the Prophet’s Companions and those after them: they disliked voluntary prayer after Fajr until sunrise and after ʿAṣr until sunset. As for prayers that were missed, there is no harm in making them up after ʿAṣr or after Fajr. ʿAlī ibn al-Madīnī said: Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd said that Shuʿbah said: Qatādah heard only three reports from Abū al-ʿĀliyah: the hadith of ʿUmar that the Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited prayer after ʿAṣr until sunset and after Fajr until sunrise; the hadith of Ibn ʿAbbās from the Prophet (ﷺ), “No one should say, ‘I am better than Yūnus ibn Mattā’”; and the hadith of ʿAlī, “Judges are three.”

  • ‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَسَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ عَفْرَاءَ وَالصُّنَابِحِيِّ وَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَسَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَعَائِشَةَ وَكَعْبِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ وَيَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ وَمُعَاوِيَةَ ‏.

    The compiler distinguishes disliked voluntary prayers during the two periods from making up prayers that were missed, which he says is permissible.

    No decision requested; both rulings and their different scopes are stated.

  • ‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَكْثَرِ الْفُقَهَاءِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَرِهُوا الصَّلاَةَ بَعْدَ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ وَبَعْدَ صَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ وَأَمَّا الصَّلَوَاتُ الْفَوَائِتُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ تُقْضَى بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ وَبَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ ‏.

    The source attributes to Shuʿbah a statement limiting Qatādah’s direct hearing from Abū al-ʿĀliyah to three reports, including this one.

    No decision requested; retain the limitation and the three cited reports.
