Mishkat al-Masabih #986
Prayer
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَرِهَ الصَّلَاة نصف النَّهَار حَتَّى نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ تُسَجَّرُ إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ أَبُو الْخَلِيلِ لم يلق أَبَا قَتَادَة
Abu Khalil said on the authority of Abu Qatada that the Prophet disliked prayer in the middle of the day before the sun declined from the meridian, except on Friday, saying, “Jahannam is heated up except on Friday.”
Abu Dawud transmitted it, adding that Abu Khalil did not meet Abu Qatada.
