صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عِنْدَ الزَّوَالِ فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَقْتُ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ وَقْتُ مَا تَسْتَقِيلُ إِبِلَكَ فَقُلْتُ إِذَا كُنْتُ فِي غَيْرِ سَفَرٍ فَقَالَ عَلَى أَقَلَّ مِنْ قَدَمٍ ثُلُثَيْ قَدَمٍ وَقْتُ الْعَصْرِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Nasr, from Safwan Al-Jammal who said, ‘I prayed <span class="iTxt">Salāt </span>behind Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> at midday, and I said, ‘By my father and my mother! (What is) the time for <span class="iTxt">Al-Asr </span>(Salāt)?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The time when you kneel your camel’. So I said, ‘When it was during other than a journey?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Upon less than one step (to) less than two-thirds of a step (shadow), it is time for <span class="iTxt">Al-Asr</span>’.
