Narrated/Authority of Al-Husain bin Bashir bin Sallam
that his father said: "Muhammad (SAW) bin Ali and I entered upon Jabir bin Abdullah Al-Ansari. We said to him: 'Tell us about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (saw).' That was at the time of Al-Hajjaj bin Yusuf. He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (saw) came out and prayed Zuhr when the sun had passed its zenith and the shadow (of a thing) was the length of a sandal-strap. Then he prayed Asr when the shadow of a man was the length of a sandal-strap plus his height. Then he prayed Maghrib when the sun had set. Then he prayed Isha when the twilight disappeared. Then he prayed Fajr when dawn broke. The next day he prayed Zuhr when a man's shadow was equal to his height. Then he prayed Asr when a man's shadow was twice his height, and (the time between the prayer and sunset) lasted as long as it takes a swift rider to reach Dhul-Hulaifah. Then he prayed Maghrib when the sun set, then he prayed 'Isha' when one-third of one-half of the night had passed.'" - (One of the narrators) Zaid, was not sure - "then he prayed Fajr when it had become bright." (Sahih)

Hadith No: 526
Narrated/Authority of Sayyar bin Salamah
"I entered upon Abu Barzah, and my father asked him: 'How did the Messenger of Allah (saw) pray the prescribed prayers?' He said: 'He used to pray Zuhr, which you call Al-Uula (the first) when the sun passed its zenith; he used to pray Asr when one of us could go back to his home in the farthest part of Al-Madinah while the sun was still bright.' I forgot what he said about Maghrib. And he used to like to delay the Isha, which you call Al-Atamah, and he did not like to sleep before it nor talk after it. And he used to finish the Al-Ghadah (Fajr) prayer when a man could recognize his neighbour, and he used to recite (in it) between sixty and one hundred verses.'" (Sahih)

Narrated/Authority of Jabir bin Abdullah
"Jibrail, peace be upon him, came to the Prophet (saw) when the sun had passed its zenith and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad (SAW), and pray Zuhr when the sun has passed its zenith.' Then he waited until a man's shadow was equal to his height. Then he came to him for Asr and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad (SAW), and pray Asr.' Then he waited until the sunset, then he came to him and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad (SAW), and pray Maghrib.' So he got up and prayed it when the sun had set. Then he waited until the twilight disappeared, then he came to him and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad (SAW), and pray 'Isha',' So he got up and prayed it. Then he came to him when dawn broke and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad (SAW), and pray.' So he got up and prayed Subh. Then he came to him the next day when a man's shadow was equal to his height, and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad (SAW), and pray.' So he prayed Zuhr. Then Jibrail came to him when a man's shadow was equal to twice his length and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad (SAW), and pray.' So he prayed Asr. Then he came to him for Maghrib when the sun set, at exactly the same time as the day before, and said: 'Get up, O Muhammad (SAW), and pray.' So he prayed Maghrib. Then he came to him for Isha when the first third of the night had passed, and said: 'Get up and pray.' So he prayed Isha. Then he came to him for Subh when it had become very bright, and said: 'Get up and pray.' So he prayed Subh. Then he said: 'The time of prayer are between those two (limits).'" (Hasan)

Hadith No: 532
Narrated/Authority of Ibn Juraij
"I said to Ata: 'What is the best time you think I should pray Al-Atamah, either in congregation or on my own?' He said: 'I heard Ibn Abbas say: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) delayed Al-Atamah one night until the people had slept and woken up, then slept and woken up again. Then Umar got up and said: 'The prayer, the prayer!'" Ata' said: 'Ibn Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) came out, and it is as if I can see him now, with water dripping from hsi head, putting his hand on the side of his head. [He said: "And he indicated (how)"].'" I checked with Ata' how the Prophet (saw) put his hand on his head, and he showed me the same way as Ibn Abbas had done. Ata' spread his fingers a little, then placed them with the tips of his fingers on his forehead, then he drew his fingers together on his head until his thumb touched the edge of the ear that is next to the face, then moved it to his temple and forehead, then he said: 'Were it not that I would impose too much difficulty for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to offer this prayer only at this time.'"

The women and children have gone to sleep.' Then the Messenger of Allah (saw) came out with water dripping from his head, saying: 'This is (the best) time (for Isha), were it not that this would be too difficult for my Ummah.'" (Sahih)

Hadith No: 534
Narrated/Authority of Jabir bin Samurah
"The Messenger of Allah (saw) used to delay the later Isha."* (Sahih) *It is described as the later Isha prayer because the Maghrib prayer is sometimes called Isha prayer, but it is the first Isha. Some scholars are of the opinion that it is disliked to call Maghrib Isha without qualifying it as the first Isha. See Fath Al-Bari.
