Question: 

At what
time of the Day did our beloved Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam leave 
this
temporary world?


Answer: 

There is a difference of opinion in regards to the time of demise of Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. It is recorded in Maghaazi Ibn Ishaaq that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam passed away at Chaast time, whilst it is recorded in Maghaazi Musa Bin Aqaba on the authority of Zuhri and Urwa Bin Zubair that Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam passed away at the time of Zawaal which seems to be the more correct view. The difference between the two times is minimal as there isn’t a huge gap between mid morning (Chaast) and midday (Zawaal.)
