\n Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al Ashary...

\n 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, \n \u2018He -asws said to me: \u2018Do you know why a cubit (an arms length [14] ) and two cubits have been made to be?\u2019 I said, \u2018Why?\u2019 He -asws said: \u2018In place of the Obligatory ( Sal\u0101t ).

It is for you that you can pray Optional ( Sal\u0101ts ) 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 ( Sal\u0101t ) and leave the Optional ( Sal\u0101t )\u2019. [15] \n Additional Ahadith on Sal\u0101t time are included in Appendix.
