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

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« لِكُلِّ صَلاَةٍ وَقْتَانِ وَ أَوَّلُ اَلْوَقْتِ أَفْضَلُهُ وَ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ آخِرَ اَلْوَقْتَيْنِ وَقْتاً إِلاَّ فِي عُذْرٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ»
Narrated by Muhammad ibn Ya’qub from Ali ibn Ibrahim from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus ibn Abd al-Rahman from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said: I heard Abu Abdillah عليه السلام say: "For every prayer there are two times, and the beginning of the time is the best of it. And it is not for anyone to make the latter of the two times his (designated) time except in a case of excuse without (blameworthy) reason."
