are ten years of age; and separate between (the sexes) in their beds (at the latter age)."'—Abú Dáud.
Concerning the Times of Prayer
It is related from ʿAbduʾlláh bin ʿOmar that, 'The Apostle of God said, "The time for the midday prayer is when the sun declines, and a man's shadow becomes equal to his height, and the afternoon prayer has not arrived. And the time for the afternoon prayer is so long as the sun has not become yellow; and the time for the evening prayer is so long as the ruddy light of twilight has not disappeared; and the time of the night prayer is to the first half of the night; and the time for the morning prayer is from the breaking of the dawn until the sun rises. When the sun rises, then withhold from the morning prayer, for verily it rises between the two horns of Satan."'—Muslim.
On Promptitude in Prayer
It is related from Anas that he said, 'When we said the midday prayers behind the Prophet, we prostrated upon our clothes in order to escape the heat.'—Muslim, Al Bukhárí.
It is related from Abú Hurairah that, 'The Apostle of God said, "When the heat is excessive, then say your prayers when it gets cooler."
It is related from Anas that, 'The Apostle of God said, "He who forgets a prayer, or goes to sleep without saying it, then the expiation of his fault is that he repeat the prayer when he remembers it." And in some traditions it runs, "There is no expiation for it except this."'—Muslim, Al Bukhárí.
It is related from Abú Hurairah that, 'The Apostle of God said, "If it were not that it would be distressing to my followers, I would certainly command them to prolong the evening prayer to one third of the night, or to one half of it."'—Aḥmad, At Tirmidhí, Ibn Májah.
On the Excellencies of Prayer
It is related from ʿUmárah bin Ruwaibah that he said, 'I heard the Apostle of God say, "No one will enter the fire who prays before the rising of the sun, and before its setting, that is (who prays) the morning and afternoon prayers."'—Muslim.
