Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn
Yasar and from Busr ibn Said and from al-Araj-all of whom related it
from Abu Hurayra - that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "Whoever manages to do a raka of subh
before the sun has risen has done subh in time, and whoever manages to
do a raka of asr before the sun has set has done asr in time."
Muwatta Malik Book 1, Hadith 5

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Amra bint
Abd ar-Rahman that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, used to pray subh and the women would
leave wrapped in their garments and they could not yet be recognised
in the darkness."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi', the mawla of Abdullah ibn Umar, that Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to his governors
saying, "The most important of your affairs in my view is the prayer.
Whoever protects it and observes it carefully is protecting his deen,
while whoever is negligent about it will be even more negligent about
other things." Then he added, "Pray dhuhr any time from when the
afternoon shade is the length of your forearm until the length of your
shadow matches your height. Pray asr when the sun is still pure white,
so that a rider can travel two or three farsakhs before the sun sets.
Pray maghrib when the sun has set. Pray isha any time from when the
redness in the western sky has disappeared until a third of the night
has passed - and a person who sleeps, may he have no rest, a person
who sleeps, may he have no rest. And pray subh when all the stars are
visible and like a haze in the sky."
