1. The Times of Prayer

موطأ مالك

24
Malik Muwatta
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَذَهَبَ عَقْلُهُ فَلَمْ يَقْضِ الصَّلاَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَذَلِكَ فِيمَا نَرَى - وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ - أَنَّ الْوَقْتَ قَدْ ذَهَبَ فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَفَاقَ فِي الْوَقْتِ فَإِنَّهُ يُصَلِّي ‏.‏
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that one time Abdullah ibn Umar fainted and lost his senses and he did not make up the prayer.

Malik commented, "We consider that that was because, and Allah knows best, the time had passed. Someone who recovers within the time has to pray."
