Sunan Ibn Majah 1252 (Book 5, Hadith 450) #30604
Times of Prayer Acceptable to Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith explains the times of day when it is disliked to perform prayer, and when it is acceptable to Allah.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "Safwan bin Mu’attal asked the Messenger of Allah : '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.’"
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمُنْكَدِرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ سَأَلَ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ الْمُعَطَّلِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ أَنْتَ بِهِ عَالِمٌ وَأَنَا بِهِ جَاهِلٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَمَا هُوَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَلْ مِنْ سَاعَاتِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ سَاعَةٌ تُكْرَهُ فِيهَا الصَّلاَةُ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ. إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الصُّبْحَ، فَدَعِ الصَّلاَةَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ. فَإِنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ بِقَرْنَىِ الشَّيْطَانِ. ثُمَّ صَلِّ فَالصَّلاَةُ مَحْضُورَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ حَتَّى تَسْتَوِيَ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ كَالرُّمْحِ. فَإِذَا كَانَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ كَالرُّمْحِ فَدَعِ الصَّلاَةَ. فَإِنَّ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةَ تُسْجَرُ فِيهَا جَهَنَّمُ وَتُفْتَحُ فِيهَا أَبْوَابُهَا. حَتَّى تَزِيغَ الشَّمْسُ عَنْ حَاجِبِكَ الأَيْمَنِ. فَإِذَا زَالَتْ فَالصَّلاَةُ مَحْضُورَةٌ مُتَقَبَّلَةٌ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ الْعَصْرَ. ثُمَّ دَعِ الصَّلاَةَ حَتَّى تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the times of day when it is disliked to perform prayer and when it is acceptable to Allah. According to the hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, Safwan bin Muattal asked the Messenger of Allah about whether there was any time during the night or day that was disliked for performing prayer. The Messenger of Allah replied that after praying Subh until sunrise one should not pray as this time falls between two horns of Satan. After sunrise one can pray as this time is attended by angels and accepted by Allah until noon which marks a spear-like position in which Hell is heated up and its gates are opened. One should refrain from praying until after noon passes its zenith at which point again prayer will be attended by angels and accepted by Allah until 'Asr prayers are performed. After 'Asr prayers one should stop praying until sunset.

This hadith teaches us about how important it is for Muslims to observe their daily prayers at their designated times according to Islamic teachings in order for them to be accepted by God Almighty. It also teaches us about how we must stay away from evil influences such as those associated with Satan during certain times throughout the day in order for our worship practices remain pure and sincere before God Almighty.
