Muwatta 9

A report that Malik transmits from Yazid ibn Ziyad from Abd Allah ibn Rafi', client of Umm Salama, in the chapter on the times of prayer: he asked Abu Hurayra about the time of prayer, and Abu Hurayra explained it by shadow: noon when a person's shadow equals his height, afternoon when it is twice his height, maghrib at sunset, isha to a third of the night, and dawn in the remaining darkness of night, glossing the ghabash as ghalas. The editor notes Ibn Abd al-Barr's view that the report is stopped at Abu Hurayra in the Muwatta, and that times cannot be known by opinion but only by transmission. ¹
