Azami 1825

Imam Ahmad narrated it (14971), as did Abu Yaala in Maqsad Ali (192) and Bazzar in Kashf Astar (374), all of them through various routes from Sufyan, from Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqeel, who said, "I heard Jabir bin Abdullah," and then he related the hadith. Its chain is hasan, for Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqeel is disputed, though his hadith is judged hasan, and his biography has already been given in detail in the book on menstruation.Imam Ahmad narrated it from Abdul-Razzaq, and it is found in his Musannaf (2091), from Sufyan with the same wording. He also narrated it from Waki, from Sufyan with the same wording, saying, "Dhuhr is as its name indicates, Asr is bright and clear, Maghrib is as its name indicates. We used to pray Maghrib with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then go to our homes, which were about a mile away, and we could still see where our arrows landed. He would hasten Isha at times and delay it at others, and Fajr was as its name indicates, for he prayed it while it was still dark."His saying, "Dhuhr is as its name indicates," means that its time is taken from its name, which points to midday, in the sense of the intensity of the heat. "Asr is bright" means it has brightness. "Maghrib" means the Maghrib prayer is performed at the setting of the sun.
