[13] الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ...

Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Fazalat in Ayoub, from Al Husayn Bin Usman, from Ibn Muskan, from Zurara who said, ‘He -asws said to me: ‘Do you know why a cubit (an arms length [14] ) and two cubits have been made to be?’ I said, ‘Why?’ He -asws said: ‘In place of the Obligatory ( Salāt ). It is for you that you can pray Optional ( Salāts ) from the (start of the) decline of the sun up to it (the shadow) reaching one cubit.

So when it (shadow) reaches to one cubit, begin with the Obligatory ( Salāt ) and leave the Optional ( Salāt )’. [15] Additional Ahadith on Salāt time are included in Appendix.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from Zurara, from; (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww prayed Salāt with the people, Al-Zohr and Al-Asr when the sun (started its) decline, in a Jam’at , from without a reason; and he -saww prayed with them Al-Al-Maghrib and Al-Al-Isha the last before the fall of the twilight, from without a reason, in a Jam’at .

And rather, Rasool-Allah -saww did it in order to expand the timing upon his -saww community’.
