Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Command to offer the Prayers at their appointed TimesAllah says, commanding His Messenger to offer the prescribed prayers at the appointed times:أَقِمِ الصَّلَوةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ(Perform the Salat from midday.) Hushaym narrated from Mughirah from Ash-Sha`bi from Ibn `Abbas: "Midday means when the sun is at its zenith." This was also reported by Nafi` from Ibn `Umar, and by Malik in his Tafsir from Az-Zuhri from Ibn `Umar.
