It was narrated from Sulaiman bin Buraidah that his father said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him about the times of prayer. He said: 'Stay with us for these two days'. Then he told Bilal to say the Iqamah at dawn and he prayed Fajr. Then he told him to do that when the sun had passed its zenith and he prayed Zuhr. Then he told him to do that when the sun was still bright, and he said the Iqamah for 'Asr. Then he told him to do that when the last part of the sun had disappeared, and he said the Iqamah for Maghrib. Then he told him to do that when the twilight had disappeared and he said the Iqamah for 'Isha'. The following day, he prayed Fajr when there was light, then he delayed Zuhr until it was cooler, and waited until it was much cooler before praying 'Asr but the sun was still clear, so he prayed 'Asr later than on the first day. Then he prayed Maghrib before the twilight disappeared. Then he told him to say the Iqamah for 'Isha' when one-third of the night had passed, and he prayed, then he said: 'Where is the one who was asking about the times of prayer? The times of your prayer are between the times you have seen'."
This hadith teaches us that we should observe our prayers within certain time frames as prescribed by Allah through His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ . We must also remember that we can delay our prayers if necessary due to extreme weather conditions or other reasons as long as we do not miss them completely or delay them too much beyond their prescribed time frames without any valid reason or excuse from Allah's mercy upon us . We must also remember that Allah is always watching over us so we must strive to perform our duties towards Him with utmost sincerity, dedication, humility and love .
