Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, used to say, "Delay the prayer when the edge of the sun
appears until it is completely in view, and delay the prayer when the
edge of the sun is disappearing until it has completely disappeared."
Muwatta Malik Book 15, Hadith 47

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn
Yasar from Abdullah as-Sunabihi that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "The sun rises and with it is a
horn of Shaytan and when the sun gets higher the horn leaves it. Then
when the sun reaches the meridian the horn joins it and when the sun
declines the horn leaves it, and when the sun has nearly set it joins
it again." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, forbade prayer at these times.

Yahya related to me from Malik that al-Ala ibn Abd ar-Rahman
said, "We visited Anas ibn Malik after dhuhr and he stood up and
prayed asr. When he had finished his prayer, we mentioned doing
prayers early in their time, or he mentioned it, and he said that he
had heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, say, the prayer of the hypocrites, the prayer of the
hypocrites, the prayer of the hypocrites is that one of them sits
until the sun becomes yellow and is between the horns of Shaytan, or
on the horn of Shaytan, and then gets up and rattles off four rakas,
hardly remembering Allah in them at all.' "
