A Day in The Life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) by Abd a-Wahhab b. Nasir al-Turayri

&ading the Prophet's D'!)!
111. After Zuhr prayer. Again this occured after the midmorning
nap. He prayed Zuhr and addressed his
companions about anything that might have happened, or
sat with them attending to their needs.
18. The daily prayers were clearly the points of time
demarcation. The day was divided into time units separated by these
prayers. We may identify the following programme of the day in
Prophet Muhammad's life:
a) Fajr. The Prophet woke up after his dawn nap,
offered Fajr prayer with the congregation of his
companions, then sat with them in the mosque until sunrise.
He then went on his morning round to see his wives. After
that, i.e. early in the morning, he sat in the mosque with his
companions in a session of instruction and education. He
sometimes paid some visits after this session. He might visit
his daughters, or some of his companions, or attended to
some business of his own. After mid-morning, it was time
for the day nap. He would have his nap before the Zuhr
prayer, to rest his body and to be ready for his night activity.
b) Zuhr. He woke up for the prayer and offered it with
the congregation. If something had happened, he would
address his companions after Zuhr prayer. Most of his
speeches were given at this time. He returned to his home
to pray the regular voluntary prayer. He then came out and
sat with his companions. Alternatively, he would go to
attend to some busin ess. The time between the Zuhr and
Asr prayers was a time of work and attending to needs.
c) Asr. The Prophet prayed Asr early, and then he
made his evening round, visiting each one of his wives. All
of them might gather in the home of the one whose turn
was on that day. Apparently, the time between Asr and
Maghrib was largely a time of relaxation with the family.
d) Maghrib. The Prophet offered Maghrib prayer early,
then had his dinner. This was the time when he had his
main meal of the day.
