“Safwan bin Mu’attal asked
the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): ‘O Messenger of Allah, I want to ask you
about something of which you have knowledge and I know nothing.’ He
said: ‘What is it?’ He said: ‘Is there any time of the night or
day
when it is disliked to perform prayer? He said: ‘Yes, when you
have
prayed the Subh, then do not pray until the sun has risen, for
it
rises between the two horns of Satan. Then pray, for the prayer is
attended (by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allah) until the sun
is
right overhead like a spear. For at that time Hell is heated up
and
its gates are opened. (Then refrain from prayer) until the sun
passes
the zenith. Then when it has passed the zenith, the prayer is
attended
(by the angels) and is acceptable (to Allah) until you pray
the ‘Asr.
Then stop praying until the sun has set.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 450
