English Translation

Yusuf ibn Musa narrated to us, he said: Jarir narrated to us from al-A'mash from Abu Sufyan from Hadrat Jabir (may Allah be well pleased with him) who said: Jibril came to the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and stated: «Stand and pray.» So he prayed Zuhr when the sun had declined. Then he came to him for Asr and stated: «Stand and pray.» So he prayed Asr when the shadow of everything was equal to it. Then he came to him for Maghrib and stated: «Stand and pray.» So he prayed Maghrib when the sun had set. Then he came to him for Isha and stated: «Stand and pray.» So he prayed Isha when the twilight had disappeared. Then he came to him for Fajr and stated: «Stand and pray.» So he prayed Fajr when the dawn had broken. Then he came to him the next day for Zuhr and stated: «Stand and pray.» So he prayed Zuhr when the shadow of everything was equal to it. Then he came to him for Asr and stated: «Stand and pray.» So he prayed Asr when the shadow of everything was twice as much as it. Then he came to him for Maghrib at the same time as the day before and did not change it. Then he came to him for Isha when half the night had passed or one third of the night. Then he came to him for Fajr when it had become quite bright. Then he said: "What is between these two is the time."
