@ Perihal Waktu-Waktu Sholat, Waktu Sholat.

0001.    Dari Malik bin Anas dari Ibnu Syihab, " Suatu hari Umar bin Abdul Aziz
pernah mengakhirkan shalat, maka Urwah bin Az Zubair menemuinya dan
memberitahukan kepadanya, bahwa suatu hari Mughirah bin Syu'bah mengakhirkan
shalat ketika berada di Kufah, sehingga Ibnu Mas'ud menemuinya dan menegurnya,
" Apa maksudmu, hai Mughirah ? Bukankah kamu tahu, Jibril telah turun kemudian
shalat dan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam ikut shalat, kemudian dia
shalat dan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam ikut shalat, kemudian dia
shalat dan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam ikut shalat juga, kemudian
dia shalat dan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam ikut shalat. Lalu
Jibril berkata, " Seperti ini aku diperintahkan," Maka Umar bin Abdul Aziz
bertanya, " Perhatikanlah apa yang kamu riwayatkan hai Urwah ! Apakah Jibril
yang mengajarkan waktu shalat untuk Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam ?"
Urwah menjawab, " Basyir bin Mas'ud al Anshari menceritakan dari Bapaknya
seperti itu juga." Kemudian Urwah menegaskan dan telah menceritakan kepadaku
Aisyah (istri Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam), bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu
'alaihi wasallam shalat ashar ketika matahari masih di tempatnya belum tampak.

0002.    Dari 'Atho` bin Yasar, dia berkata, " Seorang laki-laki datang kepada
Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam lalu bertanya tentang waktu shalat
subuh. ('Atho` bin Yasar) berkata, " Lalu Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam diam, hingga esok harinya beliau shalat subuh ketika terbit fajar,
besoknya beliau shalat ketika langit telah menguning. Lalu (Rasulullah
shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) bertanya, " Dimana laki-laki yang bertanya
kepadaku tentang waktu shalat subuh ?" (Laki-laki itu) menjawab, " Saya,
Wahai Rasulullah, " Maka beliau bersabda, " Waktu shalat subuh diantara dua
waktu ini."

0003.    Dari 'Amrah binti Abdurrahman dari Aisyah istri Nabi
shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dia berkata, " Ketika
Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam selesai shalat subuh,
kaum wanita keluar dengan keadaan tertutup dengan kain mereka,
dan mereka masih tidak terinditifikasi karena gelap."

0004.    Dari Abu Hurairah, Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam bersabda, " Barangsiapa mendapatkan satu raka'at
shalat subuh sebelum matahari terbit, dia telah mendapatkan
shalat subuh. Barangsiapa mendapatkan satu raka'at shalat
Ashar sebelum matahari terbenam maka dia telah mendapatkan
shalat ashar."

0005.    Dari Malik dari Nafi', mantan budak Abdullah bin Umar,
Umar bin Al Khatthab pernah menulis surat kepada para
pegawainya, " Menurutku yang paling penting dari urusan kalian
adalah shalat. Barangsiapa yang menjaganya dan memeliharanya
maka dia telah menjaga agamanya. Barangsiapa menyia-nyiakannya,
maka amalan yang lainnya akan lebih terabaikan," Lalu dia
menulis, " Hendaklah kalian shalat zhuhur ketika bayangan
kalian sehasta hingga bayangan kalian seukuran persis dengan
tubuh kalian. Hendaklah kalian shalat ashar ketika matahari
masih tinggi dan putih jernih dengan ukuran perjalanan
berkendara sekitar dua atau tiga farsakh sebelum matahari
terbenam. Laksanakanlah shalat maghrib ketika terbenamnya
matahari, dan isya` ketika syafaq (mega merah di langit
setelah terbenamnya matahari) telah hilang hingga sepertiga
malam. Barangsiapa yang tidur, maka tidak terlelap matanya,
barangsiapa yang tidur, tidak terlelap matanya. Dan
laksanakanlah shalat subuh ketika bintang-bintang terlihat
saling bercampur."

0006.    Dari Malik dari pamannya -Abu Suhail-, dari bapaknya,
bahwa Umar bin Al Khathab menulis kepada Abu Musa Al Asya'ri,
" Laksanakanlah shalat zhuhur ketika matahari tergelincir dan
shalat ashar ketika matahari terlihat putih jernih sebelum
menguning. Laksanakanlah Shalat maghrib ketika matahari
terbenam, dan akhirkan shalat Isya' selagi kamu belum tidur,
dan laksanakanlah shalat subuh ketika bintang-bintang
terlihat saling bersusun, dan bacalah di dalamnya dua surat
panjang yang termasuk kategori dari surat-surat Al Mufasshal
(surat yang dimulai dari surat Al Hujurat sampai akhir)."

0007.    Dari Hisyam bin Urwah dari bapaknya, " Umar bin
Al Khatthab pernah menulis kepada Abu Musa Al Asy'ari, bahwa
laksanakanlah shalat ashar ketika matahari terlihat putih
jernih dengan kadar perjalanan tiga farsakh, dan
laksanakanlah shalat Isya' antara kamu shalat hingga
sepertiga malam, jika kamu ingin mengakhirkannya maka hingga
separuh malam dan janganlah termasuk orang-orang yang lalai."

0008.    Dari Abdullah bin Rafi', mantan budak Ummu Salamah,
istri Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, dia bertanya kepada
Abu Hurairah tentang waktu shalat. Maka Abu Hurairah berkata,
" Saya akan menjelaskannya kepadamu, (yaitu) laksanakanlah
shalat zhuhur ketika bayanganmu persis seperti tinggimu, dan
shalat ashar ketika bayanganmu menjadi dua kali lipat lebih
panjang, shalat maghrib ketika matahari terbenam dan Isya`
diantara kamu shalat dengan sepertiga malam. Dan
laksanakanlah shalat subuh di akhir malam masih suasana
gelap.

0009.    Dari Anas bin Malik, dia berkata, " Kami melaksanakan
shalat ashar, lalu seseorang keluar menuju bani 'Amru bin Auf,
dan dia masih mendapati mereka sedang shalat ashar."

0010.    Dari Ibnu Syihab, dari Anas bin Malik, dia berkata,
" Kami shalat asar, lalu salah seorang dari kami pergi menuju
Quba`, dan sesampainya di sana matahari masih terlihat
tinggi."

0011.    Dari Al Qasim bin Muhammad, dia berkata, " Aku tidak
mendapati orang-orang, kecuali mereka sedang mengerjakan
shalat zhuhur di waktu 'asyiy."


@ Perihal Waktu-Waktu Sholat, Waktu Jum'at.

0012.    Dari Malik dari pamannya -Abu Suhail bin Malik-, dari
bapaknya, dia berkata, " Saya melihat permadani milik 'Uqail
bin Abu Thalib pada Hari Jum'at diletakkan di dinding masjid
arah barat, maka ketika bayang-bayang permadani tersebut
telah menutupi seluruh permadani, Umar bin Al Khatthab keluar
dan shalat Jum'at." Malik berkata, " Lalu kami pulang setelah
shalat Jum'at dan tidur qailulah di waktu siang."

0013.    Dari Ibnu Abu Salith, bahwa Utsman bin 'Affan shalat
Jum'at di Madinah dan shalat ashar di Malal, yang demikian
itu untuk menyegerakan shalat jum'at dan mempercepat
perjalanan."


@ Perihal Waktu-Waktu Sholat, Yang Mendapat Satu Rakaat Shalat.

0014.    Dari Ibnu Abu Salith, bahwa Utsman bin 'Affan shalat
Jum'at di Madinah dan shalat ashar di Malal, yang demikian
itu untuk menyegerakan shalat jum'at dan mempercepat
perjalanan."

0015.    Dari Malik dari Nafi', dari Abdullah bin Umar bin
Khathab berkata, " Apabila kamu tertinggal dari ruku' maka
kamu telah ketinggalan satu raka'at."


@ Perihal Waktu-Waktu Sholat, Matahari Tergelincir Dan Malam
Menjadi Gulita.

0016.    Dari Malik, dari Nafi', Abdullah bin Umar berkata,
" Maksud dari 'dulukus syamsi' (pergeseran matahari) adalah
tergelincirnya."

0017.    Dari Daud bin Al Hushain, berkata telah mengabarkan
kepadaku seseorang, bahwa Abdullah bin 'Abbas berkata,
" Maksud dari 'dulukus syamsi (pergeseran matahari) ' adalah
apabila bayang-bayang telah muncul. 'Ghasaqul lail (gelapnya
malam) ' adalah malam yang telah sunyi, senyap dan gelap."


@ Perihal Waktu-Waktu Sholat, Himpunan Pengetahuan Waktu shalat.

0018.    Dari Nafi', dari Abdullah bin Umar, Rasulullah
shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda, " Orang yang
ketinggalan shalat ashar seperti orang yang kehilangan
keluarga dan hartanya."

0019.    Dari Yahya bin Sa'id, setelah Umar bin Al Khatthab
selesai shalat ashar, dia menemui seorang laki-laki yang tidak
ikut shalat ashar, dan bertanya, " Apa yang menghalangimu
untuk ikut shalat ashar ?" Lalu laki-laki itu menyebutkan
alasannya, maka Umar berkata, " Kamu telah mengurangi pahalamu."
Malik berkata, " Setiap sesuatu ada yang lengkap dan kurang."

0020.    Dari Yahya bin Said, dia berkata, " Orang yang
melaksanakan shalat itu tidak menyia-nyiakan waktunya. Jika
tersita waktunya karena shalat, maka itu lebih baik dari pada
hilang keluarga dan hartanya."


@ Perihal Waktu-Waktu Sholat, Orang Yang Mendapati Waktu Shalat
Saat Dalam Perjalanan Kemudian Ia Mengakhirkan Shalatnya.

0021.    Dari Nafi', bahwa Abdullah bin 'Umar tidak sadarkan diri
hilang ingatan, dan dia tidak mengqadla shalatnya. Malik
berkata, " Menurut kami, Allah yang lebih Tahu, yang demikian
itu apabila waktu telah lewat, adapun orang yang sadar
di waktunya maka dia harus shalat."

0022.    Dari Sa'id bin Musayyab, ketika Rasulullah shallallahu
'alaihi wasallam menaklukan Khaibar, beliau berjalan hingga
akhir malam lalu berhenti istirahat, kemudian berkata kepada
Bilal, " Jagalah subuh untuk dapat membangunkan kami", lalu
Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam dan para sahabatnya
tidur, sedang Bilal berjaga-jaga dengan dikuat-kuatkan, ketika
menjelang fajar dia menyandarkan diri ke kendaraannya, dan
akhirnya dia pun terlelap tidur. Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam, Bilal dan para sahabat lainnya tidak ada yang bangun
hingga matahari membangunkan mereka, Rasulullah shallallahu
'alaihi wasallam terkejut, dan Bilal berkata kepadanya, " Wahai
Rasulullah, telah terjadi sesuatu padaku sebagaimana yang
terjadi pada diri anda, " Lalu Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam bersabda, " Tuntunlah tunggangan kalian ", maka mereka
bangkit dan menuntun tunggangan mereka beberapa saat, kemudian
Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menyuruh Bilal untuk
mengumandangkan iqamah, dan Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam shalat subuh bersama mereka, ketika selesai shalat
beliau bersabda, " Barangsiapa yang lupa shalat, maka shalatlah
ketika dia mengingatnya. Karena Allah Ta'ala berfirman dalam
kitabNya, " Tegakkanlah shalat untuk mengingatKu."

0023.    Dari Zaid bin Aslam, dia berkata, " Pada suatu malam
Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah berhenti
istirahat di sebuah jalan di Makkah, menugaskan Bilal untuk
membangunkan mereka pada waktu shalat, lalu Bilal tertidur dan
mereka juga sehingga terbit matahari. Mereka bangun dalam
keadaan terkejut, lalu Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam
menyuruh mereka untuk mengendarai kendaraan mereka hingga keluar
dari lembah itu. Lalu (Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam)
bersabda, " Sesungguhnya lembah ini di dalamnya ada setannya,"
lalu mereka berjalan sampai meninggalkan tempat tersebut,
kemudian beliau memerintahkan agar mereka singgah untuk berwudlu
dan menyuruh Bilal mengumandangkan adzan atau iqamah, kemudian
Rasulullah shalat bersama orang-orang, setelah itu beliau
berbalik melihat ketakutan pada mereka, lalu bersabda, " Wahai
para manusia, Allah telah mengambil ruh kita, jika Dia
berkehendak niscaya Dia akan mengambil ruh kita di selain waktu
ini, jika salah satu dari kalian tertidur dari shalat atau lupa
kemudian ingat maka kerjakanlah sebagaimana dia mengerjakannya
pada waktunya." Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam menoleh
kepada Abu Bakar dan bersabda, " Sesungguhnya setan datang
kepada Bilal saat dia sedang berdiri shalat, lalu membuatnya
tertidur, dan dia masih meninabobokannya sebagaimana seorang ibu
yang meninabobokan bayinya hingga dia tertidur", kemudian beliau
memanggil Bilal dan dia memberitahukan kepada Rasulullah
shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam sebagaimana yang beliau kabarkan
kepada Abu Bakar, maka Abu Bakar berkata, " Aku bersaksi
sesungguh engkau adalah Rasulullah."


@ Perihal Waktu-Waktu Sholat, Larangan Shalat Saat Panas
Menyengat.

0024.    Dari 'Atho` bin Yasar, Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam bersabda, " Sesungguhnya panas yang menyengat itu
berasal dari hembusan Jahannam, maka jika panas menyengat,
tundalah shalat hingga teduh." Dan beliau bersabda, " Neraka
mengadu kepada Rabbnya, dan berkata, " Wahai Rabbku, sebagian
dariku memakan sebagian yang lain' lalu (Allah 'azza wajalla)
mengizinkannya dengan dua nafas pada setiap tahun, satu nafas
di musim dingin dan satu nafas lagi di musim panas."

0025.    Dari Abu Hurairah, Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam bersabda, " Jika panas telah menyengat, maka
tunggulah shalat hingga teduh, karena terik panas yang
menyengat itu berasal dari hembusan Jahannam," dan beliau
menuturkan, " Bahwa neraka mengadu kepada RabbNya, lalu Allah
mengizinkannya dalam setiap tahun dengan dua nafas, satu
nafas di musim dingin dan satu nafas di musim panas."

0026.    Dari Abu Hurairah, Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi
wasallam bersabda, " Apabila panas telah menyengat maka
tundalah waktu shalat hingga teduh, karena kerasnya panas
berasal dari hembusan Jahannam."

@ Perihal Waktu-Waktu Sholat, Larangan Masuk Masjid Dengan
Bau Bawang Dan Menutup Mulut.

0027.    Dari Sa'id bin Musayyab, Rasulullah shallallahu
'alaihi wasallam bersabda, " Barangsiapa makan pohon ini
(bawang), janganlah mendekati masjid kami, karena baunya
dapat mengganggu kami."

0028.    Dari Abdurrahman bin Al Mujabbar, bahwa dia melihat
Salim bin Abdullah, apabila melihat orang yang menutup kedua
mulutnya tatkala sedang shalat, dia menarik bajunya dengan
keras hingga terlepas dari mulutnya."



Muwatta Malik (by Imam Malik) English Translation
Book 1: (0001-0031), The Times of Prayer.

0001.    He said, " Yahya ibn Yahya al-Laythi related to me, from
Malik ibn Anas, from Ibn Shihab, that one day Umar ibn
Abdal-Aziz delayed the prayer. Urwa ibn az-Zubayr came and told
him that al-Mughira ibn Shuba had delayed the prayer, one day
while he was in Kufa, and Abu Masud al-Ansari had come to him
and said, " What's this, Mughira ? Don't you know that the angel
Jibril, came down and prayed and the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed. Then he prayed
again, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, prayed. Then he prayed again, and the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed. Then he
prayed again, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, prayed. Then he prayed again, and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
prayed. Then Jibril said, " This is what you have been ordered
to do." Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz said, " Be sure of what you relate,
Urwa. Was it definitely Jibril who established the time of the
prayer for the Messenger of Allah ?" " Urwa said, " That's how
it was related to Bashir ibn Abi Masud al-Ansari by his father."

0002.    Urwa said that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to pray asr while the
sunlight was pouring into her room, before the sun itself had
become visible (i.e. because it was still high in the sky).

0003.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Zayd ibn Aslam
that Ata ibn Yasar said, " A man came to the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and asked him about
the time of the subh prayer. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, did not answer him, but in the
morning he prayed subh at first light. The following morning he
prayed subh when it was much lighter, and then said, " Where is
the man who was asking about the time of the prayer ?" The man
replied, " Here I am, Messenger of Allah." He said," The time is
between these two."

0004.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Yahya ibn Said,
from Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman, that A'isha, the wife of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, " The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
used to pray subh and the women would leave wrapped in their
garments and they could not yet be recognised in the darkness."

0005.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Zayd ibn Aslam,
from Ata ibn Yasar and from Busr ibn Said and from al-Araj -all
of whom related it from Abu Hurayra-, that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, " Whoever
manages to do a raka of subh before the sun has risen, has done
subh in time, and whoever manages to do a raka of asr before the
sun has set, has done asr in time."

0006.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Nafi, from the
mawla of Abdullah ibn Umar, that Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to
his governors, saying, " The most important of your affairs in
my view is the prayer. Whoever protects it and observes it
carefully is protecting his deen, while whoever is negligent
about it, will be even more negligent about other things." Then
he added, " Pray dhuhr any time from when the afternoon shade is
the length of your forearm, until the length of your shadow
matches your height. Pray asr when the sun is still pure white,
so that a rider can travel two or three farsakhs before the sun
sets. Pray maghrib when the sun has set. Pray isha any time from
when the redness in the western sky has disappeared, until a
third of the night has passed and a person who sleeps, may he
have no rest, a person who sleeps, may he have no rest. And pray
subh when all the stars are visible and like a haze in the sky."

0007.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from his uncle Abu
Suhayl, from his father, that Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to Abu
Musa saying that he should pray dhuhr when the sun had started
to decline, asr when the sun was still pure white before any
yellowness had entered it, maghrib when the sun had set, and to
delay isha as long as he did not sleep, and to pray subh when
the stars were all visible and like a haze in the sky and to
read in it two long suras from the mufassal.

0008.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Hisham ibn Urwa,
from his father, that Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to Abu Musa
al-Ashari that he should pray asr when the sun was still pure
white so that a man could ride three farsakhs (before maghrib)
and that he should pray isha during the first third of the
night, or, if he delayed it, then up until the middle of the
night, and he warned him not to be forgetful.

0009.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Yazid ibn Ziyad,
that Abdullah ibn Rafi, the mawla of Umm Salama, the wife of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asked Abu
Hurayra about the time of the prayer. Abu Hurayra said, " Let me
tell you. Pray dhuhr when the length of your shadow matches your
height, asr when your shadow is twice your height, maghrib when
the sun has set, isha in the first third of the night, and subh
in the very first light of dawn," i.e. when the dawn has
definitely come.

0010.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Ishaq ibn Abdullah
ibn Abi Talha, that Anas ibn Malik said, " We would pray asr and
anyone who then went to the Bani Amr ibn Awf would find them
praying asr."

0011.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, that
Anas ibn Malik said, " We would pray asr and anyone who then
went to Quba would arrive there while the sun was still high."

0012.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Rabia ibn Abi Abd
ar-Rahman, that al Qasim ibn Muhammad said, " None of the
companions that I met prayed dhuhr until well after noon,"
(i.e.until when the sun had lost its fierceness).

0013.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from his uncle Abu
Suhayl ibn Malik, that his father said, " I used to see a carpet
belonging to Aqil ibn Abi Talib, spread out on the day of jumua
up to the west wall of the mosque. When the shadow of the wall
covered the whole carpet, Umar ibn al-Khattab would come out and
pray the jumua prayer." Malik, Abu Suhayl's father, added, " We
would then return after the jumua prayer and take our midday
sleep."

0014.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Amr ibn Yahya ibn
Yahya al-Mazini, from Ibn Abi Salit that Uthman ibn Affan prayed
jumua in Madina and asr in Malal (a place seventeen miles from
Madina). Malik commented, " That was by praying jumua just past
midday and then travelling fast."

0015.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from
Abu Salama ibn Abdar-Rahman, from Abu Hurayra, that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said " Whoever catches a raka of the prayer has caught the
prayer."

0016.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Nafi, that
Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab used to say, " If the ruku has
passed you by, so has the sajda."

0017.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, that he had heard that
Abdullah ibn Umar and Zayd ibn Thabit used to say, " Whoever
catches the ruku has caught the sajda."

0018.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, that he had heard that
Abu Hurayra used to say, " Whoever catches the ruku has caught
the sajda and whoever misses the recitation of the umm al-Qur'an
has missed much good."

0019.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Nafi, that
Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, " Duluk ash-shams begins from
when the sun passes the meridian."

0020.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, that Da'ud ibn
al-Husayn said that someone had told him, Abdullah ibn Abbas
used to say, " Duluk ash-shams begins from when the sun passes
the meridian. Ghasaq al-layl is the gathering of the night and
its darkness."

0021.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Nafi, from
Abdullah ibn Umar, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, " If someone misses the asr
prayer, it is as if he has suffered a great misfortune in his
family and wealth."

0022.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Yahya ibn Said,
that once Umar ibn al-Khattab left after doing the asr prayer
and met a man who had not been there. Umar asked him, what had
kept him from the prayer and eventhough the man gave a good
reason, Umar said, " You have given yourself short measure."
Yahya added that Malik commented, " It is said that everything
has a short measure and a full measure."

0023.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, that Yahya ibn Said
used to say, " Even if someone manages to pray before the time
of the prayer has passed, the time that has passed him by is
more important, or better, than his family and wealth." Yahya
said that Malik said, " If the time for a prayer comes and a
traveller delays a prayer through neglect or forgetfulness until
he reaches his family, he should do that prayer in full if he
arrives within the time. But if he arrives when the time has
past, he should do the travelling prayer. That way he only
repays what he owes." Malik said, " This is what I have found
the people and men of knowledge doing in our community." Malik
explained that shafaq was the redness in the sky after the sun
had set, and said, " When the redness has gone then the isha
prayer is due and you have left the time of maghrib."

0024.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Nafi, that one
time Abdullah ibn Umar fainted and lost his senses and he did
not make up the prayer. Malik commented, " We consider that was
because, and Allah knows best, the time had passed. Someone who
recovers within the time has to pray."

0025.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from
Said ibn al-Musayyab, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, travelled by night on the way
back from Khaybar. Towards the end of the night, he stopped for
a rest and told Bilal to stay awake to keep watch for the subh
prayer. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, and his companions slept. Bilal stayed on guard as
long as was decreed for him and then he leant against his
riding camel, facing the direction of the dawn and sleep
overcame him and neither he nor the Messenger of Allah nor any
of the party woke up until the sun's rays had struck them. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
alarmed. Bilal excused himself, saying, " Messenger of Allah !
The One who took your self was the One who took myself." The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
ordered the party to move on and so they roused their mounts and
rode on a short distance. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, ordered Bilal to give the iqama
and then led them in the subh prayer. When he had finished, he
said, " Anyone who forgets a prayer should pray it when he
remembers. Allah the Blessed and Exalted says in His book,
" Establish the prayer to remember Me.'"

0026.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, that Zayd ibn Aslam
said, " The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, stopped for a rest, one night on the way to Makka and
appointed Bilal to wake them up for the prayer. Bilal slept and
everyone else slept and none of them woke up until the sun had
risen. When they did wake up they were all alarmed. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
ordered them to ride out of the valley, saying that there was a
shaytan in it. So they rode out of the valley and the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered them
to dismount and do wudu and he told Bilal either to call the
prayer or to give the iqama. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, then led them in the prayer.
Noticing their uneasiness, he went to them and said, " O
people ! Allah seized our spirits (arwah) and if He had wished
He would have returned them to us at a time other than this. So
if you sleep through the time for a prayer or forget it and then
are anxious about it, pray it as if you were praying it in its
time." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, turned to Abu Bakr and said, " Shaytan came to Bilal when
he was standing in prayer and made him lie down and lulled him
to sleep like a small boy." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, then called Bilal and told him
the same as he had told Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr declared, " I bear
witness that you are the Messenger of Allah."

0027.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Zayd ibn Aslam,
from Ata ibn Yasar, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, " Scorching heat is a part of the
blast of Jahannam. So, when the heat is fierce, delay the prayer
until it gets cooler." He added in explanation, " The Fire
complained to its Lord and said, " My Lord, part of me has eaten
another part," so He allowed it two breaths in every year, a
breath in winter and a breath in summer."

0028.    Malik related to us, from Abdullah ibn Yazid, the mawla
of al-Aswad ibn Sufyan, from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman, from
Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Thawban, from Abu Hurayra, that
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, " When the heat is fierce, delay the prayer until it gets
cooler, for scorching heat is a part of the blast of Jahannam."
He added, " The Fire complained to its Lord, so He allowed it
two breaths in each year, a breath in winter and a breath in
summer."

0029.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Abu'z Zinad, from
al-Araj, from Abu Hurayra, that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, " When the heat is
fierce, wait until it gets cooler before you do the prayer, for
scorching heat is from the blast of Jahannam."

0030.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from
Said ibn al-Musayyab, that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, " Anyone who eats this
plant should not come near our mosques. The smell of the garlic
will offend us."

0031.    Yahya related to me, from Malik, from Abd ar-Rahman ibn
al-Mujabbar, that he used to see Salim ibn Abdullah, pull the
cloth away fiercely from the mouth of any man he saw covering
his mouth while praying.
