Gabriel led the Prophet ﷺ in prayer

Monday, August 20, 1962

أَمَّنِي جِبْرِيلُ عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ مَرَّتَيْنِ
Transliteration

Ammani Jibrilu inda-l-bayti marratayn.

Translation

Jibreel led me in prayer at the House twice. He prayed Dhuhr the first time when the shadow was the length of a sandal-strap; Asr when the shadow of a thing was its length; Maghrib when the sun set; Isha when the twilight disappeared; and Fajr when fasting begins. The next day he led me in Dhuhr when a thing's shadow was its length; Asr when it was twice; Maghrib at the same time; Isha after a third of the night; Fajr when light spread. He said: between these two times is the prayer.
