Times of Prayers - At A Glance (Hadith No. 738)


Salam,
Bismillah.

Hadith no. 737 is a repeat. Read it here.

Volume 1, Book 12, Number 738:
Narrated Saiyar bin Salama:
My father and I went to Abu Barza-al-Aslami to ask him about the stated times for the prayers. He replied, "The Prophet used to offer the Zuhr prayer when the sun just declined from its highest position at noon; the 'Asr at a time when if a man went to the farthest place in Medina (after praying) he would find the sun still hot (bright). (The sub narrator said: I have forgotten what Abu Barza said about the Maghrib prayer). The Prophet never found any harm in delaying the 'Isha' prayer to the first third of the night and he never liked to sleep before it and to talk after it. He used to offer the morning prayer at a time when after finishing it one could recognize the person sitting beside him and used to recite between 60 to 100 verses in one or both the Rakat."

 Go through these Ahadith for more detail on times of prayers. I've already covered the Book of Times of Prayers [Kitaab Mawaqeet-us-Salah], so all you need to know is in this blog inshaAllah. :)

Wassalam.

PARADOX OF OUR TIME

The paradox of our time is that good has become bad and bad has become good. Modesty & shyness is now termed as ill confidence and Immodesty termed as Boldness & Confidence. Shamefulness termed as backwardness and Shamelessness termed as enlightenement. Truthful & honest termed as foolish & immature and liers & deceivers termed as smart & mature. Godless termed as successful and God fearing termed as Losers.

There has come a certain offset in our thinking and feeling. We can offer respect to the grave, but we wont think about the grave. We like decorating the Quran but we wont understand the Quran. If we dislike something we will hate it, but we wont change it. If we talk about the crisis we will give all sorts of blame analysis, but we wont see what caused it and what will solve it. We want to Love Allah but we wont take the first step. We would believe in something, but we wont do it. Such an offset in us has made all the effort and strains for making our lives better only a mirage, a fable and a fools paradise.

Everything has become so strange and opposite. Is it that we are living in the worst of times (which will come just before the Day of Judgement) that Holy Prophet (pbuh) mentioned?
