أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَيَّارُ بْنُ سَلَامَةَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَی أَبِي بَرْزَةَ فَسَأَلَهُ أَبِي کَيْفَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الْمَکْتُوبَةَ قَالَ کَانَ يُصَلِّي الْهَجِيرَ الَّتِي تَدْعُونَهَا الْأُولَی حِينَ تَدْحَضُ الشَّمْسُ وَکَانَ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ حِينَ يَرْجِعُ أَحَدُنَا إِلَی رَحْلِهِ فِي أَقْصَی الْمَدِينَةِ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ وَنَسِيتُ مَا قَالَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ وَکَانَ يَسْتَحِبُّ أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَ الْعِشَائَ الَّتِي تَدْعُونَهَا الْعَتَمَةَ وَکَانَ يَکْرَهُ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا وَالْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا وَکَانَ يَنْفَتِلُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ حِينَ يَعْرِفُ الرَّجُلُ جَلِيسَهُ وَکَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِالسِّتِّينَ إِلَی الْمِائَةِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 529
Sayyar bin Salamah said: “I entered upon Abu Barzah, and my father asked him: ‘How did the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم pray the prescribed prayers?’ He said: ‘He used to pray Zuhr, which you call Al-Uula (the first) when the sun passed its zenith; he used to pray ‘Asr when one of us could go back to his home in the farthest part of Al-Madinah while the sun was still bright.’ I forgot what he said about Maghrib. ‘And he used to like to delay ‘Isha’, which you call Al ‘Atamah, and he did not like to sleep before it nor talk after it. And he used to finish the Al Ghadah (Fajr) prayer when a man could recognize his neighbor, and he used to recite (in it) between sixty and one hundred verses.” (Sahih)
