Hadith #33

سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلصَّلْتِ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ وَ هُوَ دَاوُدُ بْنُ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَ قَالَ:« إِذَا غَابَتِ اَلشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ دَخَلَ وَقْتُ اَلْمَغْرِبِ حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ مِقْدَارُ مَا يُصَلِّي اَلْمُصَلِّي ثَلاَثَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَإِذَا مَضَى ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ دَخَلَ وَقْتُ اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَ اَلْعِشَاءِ اَلْآخِرَةِ حَتَّى يَبْقَى مِنِ اِنْتِصَافِ اَللَّيْلِ مِقْدَارُ مَا يُصَلِّي اَلْمُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَإِذَا بَقِيَ مِقْدَارُ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ خَرَجَ وَقْتُ اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَ بَقِيَ وَقْتُ اَلْعِشَاءِ اَلْآخِرَةِ إِلَى اِنْتِصَافِ اَللَّيْلِ»

Sa’d ibn Abdillah narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa and Musa ibn Ja’far, from Abu Ja’far, from Abu Talib Abdillah ibn al-Salt, from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Dawud ibn Abi Yazid, and he is Dawud ibn Farqad, from some of our companions: Abu Abdillah said: “When the sun sets, the time of Maghrib has entered, until the amount of time in which a person may pray three rak’ahs passes. When that has passed, the time of Maghrib and ‘Isha’ al-Akhirah has entered, until there remains from midnight the amount of time needed for a person to pray four rak’ahs. When that amount remains, then the time of Maghrib has ended, and the time of ‘Isha’ al-Akhirah remains until midnight.”
