Abu Musa Ashari reported,

A man asked the Prophet ﷺ about the times of prayer, but the Prophet ﷺ gave him no answer. Instead, he instructed Bilal to call the iqamah for the dawn prayer just as dawn broke, and he prayed at a time when a man could barely recognize the face of his companion, or when a man could not recognize the person beside him.Then he instructed Bilal to call the iqamah for the noon prayer when the sun had passed its zenith, though one might still say it was midday, and Allah knows best.Then he instructed Bilal to call the iqamah for the afternoon prayer while the sun was still white and high.Then he instructed Bilal to call the iqamah for the sunset prayer when the sun had set.Then he instructed Bilal to call the iqamah for the night prayer when the twilight had disappeared.The next day, he prayed the dawn prayer and finished it, so that we said, "Has the sun risen?"Then he had the iqamah called for the noon prayer at the time when the afternoon prayer had been performed the previous day. He prayed the afternoon prayer when the sun had turned yellow, or he said when evening had begun. He prayed the sunset prayer before the twilight disappeared, and he prayed the night prayer until a third of the night had passed.Then he asked, "Where is the one who was asking about the times of prayer? The time is between these two."

عن أبي موسى

أن سائلا سأل النبي ﷺ فلم يرد عليه شيئا حتى أمر بلالا فأقام الفجر حين انشق الفجر فصلى حين كان الرجل لا يعرف وجه صاحبه أو أن الرجل لا يعرف من إلى جنبه ثم أمر بلالا فأقام الظهر حين زالت الشمس حتى قال القائل انتصف النهار وهو أعلم ثم أمر بلالا فأقام العصر والشمس بيضاء مرتفعة وأمر بلالا فأقام المغرب حين غابت الشمس وأمر بلالا فأقام العشاء حين غاب الشفق فلما كان من الغد صلى الفجر وانصرف فقلنا أطلعت الشمس فأقام الظهر في وقت العصر الذي كان قبله وصلى العصر وقد اصفرت الشمس أو قال أمسى وصلى المغرب قبل أن يغيب الشفق وصلى العشاء إلى ثلث الليل ثم قال أين السائل عن وقت الصلاة الوقت فيما بين هذين
