وَحَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «وَقْتُ الظُّهْرِ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَكَانَ ظِلُّ الرَّجُلِ كَطُولِهِ مَا لَمْ يَحْضُرِ الْعَصْرُ وَوَقْتُ الْعَصْرِ مَا لَمْ تَصْفَرَّ الشَّمْسُ وَوَقْتُ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ مَا لَمْ يَغِبِ الشَّفَقُ وَوَقْتُ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ الأَوْسَطِ وَوَقْتُ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ مِنْ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ مَا لَمْ تَطْلُعِ الشَّمْسُ فَإِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَأَمْسِكْ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَىْ شَيْطَانٍ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: The time of the noon prayer is when the sun passes the meridian and a man’s shadow is the same (length) as his height, (and it lasts) as long as the time for the afternoon prayer has not come; the time for the afternoon prayer is as long as the sun has not become pale; the time of the evening prayer is as long as the twilight has not ended; the time of the night prayer is up to the middle of the average night and the time of the morning prayer is from the appearance of dawn, as long as the sun has not risen; but when the sun rises, refrain from prayer for it rises between the horns of the devil.

আবূ বকর ইবনু আবূ শাইবাহ (রহঃ) ..... ইবনু উমর (রাযিঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি একদা আমার বোন হাফসার ঘরের ছাদে উঠলাম। তখন রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে ইস্তিঞ্জায় বসা অবস্থায় দেখতে পেলাম। তিনি শাম (সিরিয়া) এর দিকে মুখ করে এবং কিবলার দিকে পিঠ করে বসেছিলেন।

یحییٰ بن سعید نے محمد بن یحییٰ سے ، انہوں نے اپنے چچا واسع بن حبان سے روایت کی ، انہوں نے کہا : میں مسجد میں نماز پڑھ رہاتھا اور عبد اللہ بن عمر ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ اپنی پست قبلے کی طرف لگا کر بیٹھے ہوئے تھے ۔ جب میں نے اپنی نماز پوری کر لی تو اپنا پہلو بدل کر ان کی طرف منہ کر لیا تو عبد اللہ ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ نے فرمایا : کچھ لوگ کہتے ہیں : جب تم قضائے حاجت کے لیے بیٹھو ، جو بھی ہو ، قبلے کی طرف اور بیت المقدس کی طرف منہ کر کے نہ بیٹھو ۔

عبد اللہ ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ نے فرمایا : حالانکہ میں گھر کی چھت پر چڑھا تو میں نے رسو ل اللہ ﷺ کودیکھا کہ قضائے حاجت کے لیے دو اینٹوں پر بیت المقدس کی طرف رخ کر کے بیٹھے ہوئے تھے ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Maslamah bin Qa'nab] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sulaiman] -yaitu Ibnu Bilal- dari [Yahya bin Sa'id] dari [Muhammad bin Yahya] dari pamannya [Wasi' bin Habban] dia berkata, "Aku melakukan shalat di masjid, sementara [Abdullah bin Umar] menyandarkan punggungnya ke kiblat. Ketika aku telah menyelesaikan shalatku, maka aku bergerak kepadanya dari sisiku.

Abdullah lalu berkata, 'Orang bilang, 'Apabila kamu duduk untuk buang air besar, maka janganlah kamu menghadap ke arah kiblat atau menghadap ke arah Baitul Maqdis.' Abdullah melanjutkan ucapannya, 'Sungguh, aku pernah naik ke atas loteng rumah, lalu aku melihat Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam duduk di atas dua batu dengan menghadap ke Baitul Maqdis saat buang air besar

Bize Ebu Bekr b. Ebi Şeybe rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize Muhammed b. Bişr el-Abdî rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize Ubeydullah b. Ömer, Muhammed b. Yahya b. Habban'dan, o da amcası Vasi' b. Habban'dan o da İbnî Ömerden naklen rivayet etti. İbni Ömer şöyle demiş: «Kız kardeşim Hafsa'nın evinin üstüne çıktım, ve ResuluIIah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in Şam'ı önüne, kıbleyi de arkasına alarak kaza-i hacete oturduğunu gördüm.

DAVUDOĞLU AÇIKLAMA: ibni Ömer(R.A.)'ın Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)i kaza-i hacet ederken görmesi tesadüfi olmuştur. Maamafih onun kaza-i hacet için ne şekilde oturduğunu görmek için kasten evin üzerine çıkmış olmasıda muhtemeldir. Maksad onun yüzünü görmekle hasıl olmuştur. Görülüyorki; hadisin bazı rivayetlerinde kaza-i.hacet için kıbleyi önüne veya arkasına almak nehyedilmiş bazılarında ise; bizzat Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) in Beyt-i Makdise doğru dönerek kaza-i hacet ettiği ispat edilmektedir.

Medinede Beyt-i Makdise doğru dönen bir kimse tabiî olarak kabeyi arkasına almış olur. Bu itibarla İbni Ömer rivayeti Kabeye arka dönerek abdest bozmanın caiz olduğuna delalet ediyor. Hadis buna kail olanların delillerindendir

What it means

This Hadīth tells us about the prayer times: First: The time for the Zhuhr prayer starts when the sun passes the highest part of the sky and starts to descend towards the west. That is when we can see the shadow of a straight object increase and fall towards the east, and one's shadow becomes almost equal in length to his height until the time for the ‘Asr prayer comes.

Second: The time for the ‘Asr starts from the point when one's shadow is equal to his height in length and lasts until the sun turns yellow. This indicates the preferred time for offering the ‘Asr. However, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever prays one Rak‘ah of the ‘Asr before the sun sets has prayed it in time.''

[Al-Bukhāri and Muslim] Also: "The time for the ‘Asr lasts until the sun sets." A narration of Muslim reads: "...until the sun turns yellow and its first horn has fallen." Third: The time for the Maghrib lasts so long as the dusk has not gone. Dusk is the soft glowing light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon. So if the twilight has partially gone, then the ‘Ishā' time has not yet come.

Similarly, if the sun has set partially, then the Maghrib time has not yet come. Fourth: The time for the ‘Ishā' starts when the twilight has completely faded until midnight, which is the preferred time for offering the ‘Ishā'. However, the time of necessity extends until pre-dawn. Fifth: The time for the Fajr starts from pre-dawn (true dawn) and lasts so long as the sun has not yet started to rise.

When the sun starts to rise, one must not pray, because it rises between the two horns of the devil. The devil waits for the time when the sun starts to rise and stands up to be facing those who prostrate for the sun. Their prostration for the sun turns into worship of the devil. Hence, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited the Muslims to pray at that time to differentiate between those who worship Allah and those who worship the devil.
