Narrated by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
There is no prayer after the morning prayer until the sun has risen, and no prayer after the Asr prayer until the sun has set.
Sahih al-Bukhari 586, Sahih Muslim 827
What this hadith teaches
These are the times when voluntary prayers without a reason are not offered, so as not to resemble those who worshipped the sun. Missed obligatory prayers may still be made up.
