Sahih al-Bukhari 582, 583 (Book 9, Hadith 58) #561
Praying at Sunrise and Sunset

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of not praying at sunrise and sunset, and to wait until the sun has risen or set completely before praying.

Narrated Hisham's father: Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah's Messenger said, 'Do not pray at the time of sunrise and at the time of sunset'. " Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah's Messenger said, 'If the edge of the sun appears (above the horizon) delay the prayer till it becomes high, and if the edge of the sun disappears, delay the prayer till it sets (disappears completely)'. "
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ لاَ تَحَرَّوْا بِصَلاَتِكُمْ طُلُوعَ الشَّمْسِ وَلاَ غُرُوبَهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِذَا طَلَعَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَأَخِّرُوا الصَّلاَةَ حَتَّى تَرْتَفِعَ، وَإِذَا غَابَ حَاجِبُ الشَّمْسِ فَأَخِّرُوا الصَّلاَةَ حَتَّى تَغِيبَ ‏"‏‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ عَبْدَةُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that we should not pray at sunrise or sunset. Instead, we should wait until the sun has risen completely above the horizon before beginning our prayer. Similarly, we should wait until the sun has set completely below the horizon before beginning our prayer. This is because it is difficult to determine when exactly sunrise or sunset occurs due to atmospheric conditions such as clouds or fog. By waiting for a few moments after sunrise or sunset passes by, we can be sure that our prayer will be done in accordance with Islamic teachings. Additionally, this hadith also teaches us about being mindful of time and how important it is to use it wisely in order to fulfill our religious obligations properly.
