Arabic text

فَقَدْ رَوَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى رَفَعَهُ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَتَى وَقْتُ اَلصَّلاَةِ فَأَقْبَلَ يَلْتَفِتُ يَمِيناً وَ شِمَالاً كَأَنَّهُ يَطْلُبُ شَيْئاً فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ تَنَاوَلْتُ عُوداً فَقُلْتُ هَذَا تَطْلُبُ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» فَأَخَذَ اَلْعُودَ فَنَصَبَ بِحِيَالِ اَلشَّمْسِ ثُمَّ قَالَ« إِنَّ اَلشَّمْسَ إِذَا طَلَعَتْ كَانَ اَلْفَيْءُ طَوِيلاً ثُمَّ لاَ يَزَالُ يَنْقُصُ حَتَّى تَزُولَ اَلشَّمْسُ فَإِذَا زَالَتْ زَادَتْ فَإِذَا اِسْتَبَنْتَ اَلزِّيَادَةَ فَصَلِّ اَلظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ تَمَهَّلْ قَدْرَ ذِرَاعٍ وَ صَلِّ اَلْعَصْرَ»

Translation

Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa narrated it with a raised chain from Sama’ah, who said: I said to Abu Abdillah (a.s): “May I be your ransom, when is the time of prayer?” He (a.s) began turning to the right and left, as if he were looking for something. When I saw that, I picked up a stick and said: “Is this what you are looking for?” Imam (a.s) said: “Yes.” Then He (a.s) took the stick and set it upright facing the sun, and said: “When the sun rises, the shadow is long, and it continues to decrease until the sun passes the meridian. When it passes the meridian, it begins to increase again. When you clearly see the increase, then pray Dhuhr. Then wait the time it takes for one forearm, and pray ‘Asr.”

Translation: Haydar Ali Shaykh ibn Muhammad — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
