Hadith 657
۞
Hadith.657 - Bakar ibn Muhammad narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that a person asked him about the timing of Maghrib.
Imam (as) said
"Indeed, Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, mentions in His Book concerning Ibrahim (as), 'When the night covered him, he saw a star and said: "This is my Lord (azj)."'
This marks the beginning of the Maghrib time. The end of this time is the disappearance of twilight (Shafaq). The start of the Isha prayer is marked by the fading of the redness (twilight), and its end extends until the middle of the night”.
657 - وَ رَوَى بَكْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ
سَأَلَهُ سَائِلٌ عَنْ وَقْتِ اَلْمَغْرِبِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وتَعَالَى يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ «فَلَمّٰا جَنَّ عَلَيْهِ اَللَّيْلُ رَأىٰ كَوْكَباً قٰالَ هٰذٰا رَبِّي» فَهَذَا أَوَّلُ اَلْوَقْتِ وَ آخِرُ ذَلِكَ غَيْبُوبَةُ اَلشَّفَقِ فَأَوَّلُ وَقْتِ اَلْعِشَاءِ اَلْآخِرَةِ ذَهَابُ اَلْحُمْرَةِ وَ آخِرُ وَقْتِهَا إِلَى غَسَقِ اَللَّيْلِ يَعْنِي نِصْفَ اَللَّيْلِ.
