Chapter on Times of Prayer and Sign of Each of Its Times

Al-Husayn ibn Sa’id narrated from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Abdillah ibn Sinan, who said: I heard Abu Abdillah عليه السلام say: “The time of Maghrib is when the sun sets and its disk disappears.” And I (narrator) heard him عليه السلام say: “One night, the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, delayed the Isha prayer as long as Allah سبحانه وتعالى willed. So ‘Umar came and knocked on the door and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the women have fallen asleep, the children have fallen asleep.’ The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, then came out and said: ‘You do not have the right to annoy me or to command me. It is upon you only to listen and obey.’”
