Aḥmad ibn Manīʿ, al-Ḥasan ibn al-Ṣabbāḥ al-Bazzār, and Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Maʿnā narrated to us; they said: Isḥāq ibn Yūsuf al-Azraq narrated to us, from Sufyān al-Thawrī, from ʿAlqamah ibn Marthad, from Sulaymān ibn Buraydah, from his father, who said: A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked him about the times of prayer. He said, “Stay with us, if Allah wills.” He instructed Bilāl to call the prayer when dawn appeared. Then he instructed him to call it when the sun passed its zenith, and he prayed Ẓuhr. Then he instructed him to call it, and he prayed ʿAṣr while the sun was bright and high. Then he instructed him to call Maghrib when the sun’s upper edge had set. Then he instructed him to call ʿIshāʾ when the twilight disappeared. The next day, he instructed him to call Fajr when the light of dawn had brightened. Then he instructed him to delay Ẓuhr, and he allowed it to be delayed until it had cooled. Then he instructed him to call ʿAṣr when the sun was later in its course than it had been the previous day. Then he instructed him to delay Maghrib until just before the twilight disappeared. Then he instructed him to call ʿIshāʾ when a third of the night had passed. Then he said, “Where is the man who asked about the times of prayer?” The man said, “I am here.” He said, “The times of prayer are between these two.” Abū ʿĪsā said: This hadith is hasan gharib sahih. Shuʿbah also narrated it from ʿAlqamah ibn Marthad.
