أمنى جبريل مرتين. فصلى الظهر حين مالت الشمس قيد الشراك، وصلى العصر وظله مثله، وصلى المغرب حين وقعت الشمس، وصلى العشاء حين غاب الشفق، وصلى الصبح حين طلع الفجر. فلما كان من الغد، صلى الظهر وظله مثله، وصلى العصر وظله مثلاه، وصلى المغرب حين وقعت الشمس، وصلى العشاء حين ذهب ثلث الليل أو نصف الليل، وصلى الغداة فأسفر بها. وقال إن الصلاة فيما بينهما. ٤
