Al-Mughni by Ibn Qudama - Edited by Al-Turki — Section

Chapter: As for the Maghrib prayer, there is no disagreement regarding the recommendation of performing it early when there is no excuse, and this is the view of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and those who came after them. Al-Tirmidhi said this (56). We have already mentioned in the hadith of Jabir that the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, used to pray it when the sun had set (57). Rafiʿ ibn Khadij said: We used to pray the Maghrib with the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and one of us would depart while he could still see the places where his arrows landed. It is agreed upon (58). Anas narrated something similar, which Abu Dawud recorded (59). From Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ, he said: The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, used to pray the Maghrib at the hour the sun set, when its upper edge disappeared. Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi recorded it (60), and he said: It is a Hasan Sahih hadith (61). This is the wording of Abu Dawud (62). The performance of it by Gabriel on both days at the same time is evidence for the emphasis (63) on the recommendation of performing it early (64). Section: As for the ʿIshaʾ prayer, it is recommended to delay it until the end of its time if it does not cause hardship, and this is the choice of the majority of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and the Successors. Al-Tirmidhi said this (65). It was narrated from al-Shafiʿi that it is better to perform it early, due to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him: The first time is the pleasure of God, and the last time is the pardon of God (66). Al-Qasim ibn Ghannam narrated from some of
