Narrated Ali ibn Shayban: We came upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Medina. He would postpone the afternoon prayer as long as the sun remained white and clear.
The Prophet Muhammad's example of delaying his afternoon prayer until the sun was no longer white and clear is an important lesson for all Muslims to follow in their daily lives. It teaches us that we should always strive to make sure we are doing things at an appropriate time so that we can get maximum benefit from them. Furthermore, it reminds us of how important it is to be mindful of our environment when performing religious duties such as prayers so that they can be done properly with full concentration and devotion towards Allah SWT.
