حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمُنْکَدِرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْکٍ عَنْ الضَّحَّاکِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَأَلَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي سَائِلُکَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ أَنْتَ بِهِ عَالِمٌ وَأَنَا بِهِ جَاهِلٌ قَالَ وَمَا هُوَ قَالَ هَلْ مِنْ سَاعَاتِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ سَاعَةٌ تُکْرَهُ فِيهَا الصَّلَاةُ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الصُّبْحَ فَدَعْ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّی تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَإِنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ بِقَرْنَيْ الشَّيْطَانِ ثُمَّ صَلِّ فَالصَّلَاةُ مَحْضُورَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ حَتَّی تَسْتَوِيَ الشَّمْسُ عَلَی رَأْسِکَ کَالرُّمْحِ فَإِذَا کَانَتْ عَلَی رَأْسِکَ کَالرُّمْحِ فَدَعْ الصَّلَاةَ فَإِنَّ تِلْکَ السَّاعَةَ تُسْجَرُ فِيهَا جَهَنَّمُ وَتُفْتَحُ فِيهَا أَبْوَابُهَا حَتَّی تَزِيغَ الشَّمْسُ عَنْ حَاجِبِکَ الْأَيْمَنِ فَإِذَا زَالَتْ فَالصَّلَاةُ مَحْضُورَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ حَتَّی تُصَلِّيَ الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ دَعْ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّی تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1252
. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "Safwan bin Mu'attal asked the Messenger of Allah SAW: 'O Messenger of Allah, want to ask you about something of which you have knowledge and I know nothing.' He said: 'What is it?' He said: 'Is there any time of the night or day when it is disliked to perform prayer? He said: 'Yes, when you have prayed the Subh, then do not pray until the sun has risen, for it rises between the two horns of Satan. Then pray, for the prayer is attended (by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allah) until the sun is right overhead like a spear. For at that time Hell is heated up and its gates are opened. (Then refrain from prayer) until the sun passes the zenith. Then when it has passed the zenith, the prayer is attended (by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allah) until you pray the 'Asr. Then stop praying until the sun has set.'''(Hasan).
