Then they keep on sinning but when they offer the Zuhr prayer it washes them | Then they sin again but when they offer the Asr prayer it washes them |

English - Sahih International : Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night and [also] the Qur'an of dawn Indeed the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed• At some places the Quran has used the word Salat for 'Prayer' and at other places a particular part of Salat for Prayer as a whole, e | Dalam ayat ini disebutkan waktu-waktu shalat fardhu, dan bahwa masuknya waktu merupakan syarat sahnya shalat, dan bahwa waktu tersebut merupakan sebab wajibnya, karena Allah memerintahkan untuk mendirikannya karena tiba waktu-waktu itu |
Afterwards Angel Jibril was sent to the Holy Prophet to define the limits of the timings of each Prayer.
On the first day, he offered the Dhuhr Prayer just after the declining of the sun, when the shadow of everything was the shortest | Therefore, these two times have totally been forbidden for Salat |

His example was followed by the Companions, and the succeeding Muslim scholars held it to be a desirable thing | It has been ordained that the first Prayer is to be offered before the sunrise and the remaining four after the declining of the sun till the darkness of the night |
That is why the Holy Prophet used to recite long passages from the Qur'an during the Morning Prayer.
22Besides this, they worshipped the sun at the time of its zenith | Somali - Abduh : Oog salaadda markay Qorraxdu suusho Ilaa madawga Habeenka iyo Quraanka Salaada waabariga subaxa Quraanka waabariguna waa mid la Joogee Malaa'igta• This is because the sun has always been in every age one of the greatest deities of the mushriks, who worshipped it especially at the time of sunrise and sunset |

The Holy Prophet himself has stated this wisdom of the timings of Prayer in several Traditions | Melayu - Basmeih : Dirikanlah olehmu sembahyang ketika gelincir matahari hingga waktu gelap malam dan dirikanlah sembahyang subuh sesungguhnya sembahyang subuh itu adalah disaksikan keistimewaannya• Swahili - Al-Barwani : Shika Sala jua linapo pinduka mpaka giza la usiku na Qur'ani ya al fajiri Hakika Qur'ani ya alfajiri inashuhudiwa daima• Then they keep on sinning and when they offer Maghrib prayers it washes them |
Besides this, there are some Traditions from the Holy Prophet to the same effect, though they are not so authentic.
