أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يَقُولُ ثَلَاثُ سَاعَاتٍ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْهَانَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ فِيهِنَّ أَوْ نَقْبُرَ فِيهِنَّ مَوْتَانَا حِينَ تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ بَازِغَةً حَتَّی تَرْتَفِعَ وَحِينَ يَقُومُ قَائِمُ الظَّهِيرَةِ حَتَّی تَمِيلَ وَحِينَ تَضَيَّفُ لِلْغُرُوبِ حَتَّی تَغْرُبَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 569
It was narrated from Musa bin ‘Ali that his father said: “I heard ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir say: ‘There are three times during which the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم forbade us from praying or burying our dead: When the sun had clearly started to rise until it was fully risen, when it was directly overhead at noon until it has passed the zenith, and when it was close to setting until it had fully set.” (Sahih)
