1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عِنْدَ الزَّوَالِ فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي وَقْتُ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ وَقْتُ مَا تَسْتَقِيلُ إِبِلَكَ فَقُلْتُ إِذَا كُنْتُ فِي غَيْرِ سَفَرٍ فَقَالَ عَلَى أَقَلَّ مِنْ قَدَمٍ ثُلُثَيْ قَدَمٍ وَقْتُ الْعَصْرِ.

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr from Safwan al-Jammal who has said the following: “Once I performed Salah (prayer) behind abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), at the time of Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime) and I asked, saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, when is it time for al-‘Asr Salah (prayer)?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is when you release your camel.’ I then asked, ‘When it (time of al-‘Asr) is when I am not on a journey?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is time for al-‘Asr when it (the shadow of an object) is less than a step or it is two-thirds of a step.’”

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَمُّونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ أَبِي سَيَّارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنْ وَقْتِ الظُّهْرِ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ وَذَلِكَ وَقْتُهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي غَيْرِ السَّفَرِ.

2. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Shammun from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Qasim from Misma’ abu Sayyar who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the time for Salah (prayer) of al-Dhuhr on Friday on a journey. He (the Imam) said, ‘It is at Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime) which is its time on Friday when one is not on a journey.’”

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِذَا كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ أَوْ عَجَّلَتْ بِهِ حَاجَةٌ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَبَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تُعَجِّلَ عِشَاءَ الآخِرَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغِيبَ الشَّفَقُ.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “This is a Hadith that abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has pronounced. ‘The Messenger of Allah, when on a journey or being in need for something, would perform al-Dhuhr and al-‘Asr Salah (prayer) together soon one after the other, as well as al-Maghrib and al-‘Isha’ Salah (prayer).’ He (the narrator) has said that abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not harmful to perform al-‘Isha’ al- Akhirah earlier on a journey and before the disappearance of brightness in the western horizon.’”

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah who has said the following: “Once a few persons of our people and I were in a company, among them was Muyassir, between Makkah and al-Madinah. As we traveled, we were in doubt about the time of Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime). Certain ones among us said that we must walk for a while until we are certain about Zawal, then perform Salah (prayer). Thus, we did so and we had walked only a little that the caravan of abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), appeared. I said, ‘The caravan has come.’ I saw Muhammad ibn Tsma‘il and asked him, ‘Have you performed Salah (prayer) yet?’ He replied, ‘My grandfather instructed us so we performed Salah (prayer) al-Dhuhr and al-‘Asr all together.’ We then left and I went to inform our people about it.’”

5. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amir from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from Aban from ‘Umar ibn Yazid who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The time for al-Maghrib on a journey is up to one-third of the night.’ It is also narrated that it is up to midnight.”
