Chapter: The time of the Maghrib prayer (evening prayer)

We used to offer the Maghrib prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) and after finishing the prayer one of us may go away and could still see as Par as the spots where one's arrow might reach when shot by a bow.

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray the Zuhr at midday, and the `Asr at a time when the sun was still bright, the Maghrib after sunset (at its stated time) and the `Isha at a variable time. Whenever he saw the people assembled (for `Isha' prayer) he would pray earlier and if the people delayed, he would delay the prayer. And they or the Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer the Fajr Prayers when it still dark.

We used to pray the Maghrib prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) when the sun disappeared from the horizon.

The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed seven rak`at together and eight rak`at together.
