Sunan Abi Dawud 398 (Book 2, Hadith 8) #20689
Praying at Appropriate Times

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would offer the Zuhr prayer when the sun had passed the meridian, 'Asr prayer after which one of us would visit the skirts of Medina and return him while the sun was still bright, Maghrib prayer until a third of night had passed, Isha prayer until midnight had passed. He disliked sleeping before it or talking after it and he would recite from sixty to a hundred verses during Fajr prayer.

Abu Barzah reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would offer the Zuhr prayer when the sun had passed the meridian; he would offer 'Asr prayer after which one of us would visit the skirts of Medina and return him while the sun was still bright; I forgot what he said about the Maghrib prayer; he did not fear postponing the Isha prayer until a third of night had passed, or he said: until the midnight had passed. He would dislike sleeping before it or talking after it. And he would offer the Fajr prayer when a man could recognize his neighbor whom he recognized well; and he would recite from sixty to a hundred verses during it.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَيُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ وَإِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَذْهَبُ إِلَى أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَيَرْجِعُ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ وَنَسِيتُ الْمَغْرِبَ وَكَانَ لاَ يُبَالِي تَأْخِيرَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا وَالْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ وَمَا يَعْرِفُ أَحَدُنَا جَلِيسَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَعْرِفُهُ وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا مِنَ السِّتِّينَ إِلَى الْمِائَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This Hadith is about praying at appropriate times according to Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) Sunnah. It is important for Muslims to pray five times a day as prescribed in Islam; Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha and Fajr prayers. The Hadith mentions that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to offer Zuhr when the sun had passed its meridian and Asr when one could visit Medina’s skirts and return while it was still bright outside. He used to dislike sleeping before Isha or talking after it and he recited between sixty to hundred verses during Fajar prayers. This Hadith teaches us that we should be punctual in offering our prayers on time as prescribed by Allah SWT in Quran so that we can reap its rewards both in this world as well as hereafter. We should also try our best not to miss any part of our daily prayers so that we can stay connected with Allah SWT throughout our day-to-day life activities.
