Note 123 — CHAP. XXXVI.

With regard to the Fúlbe, the prayers of dhohor (“zúhura,” or “sallifánna”) may rightly be called mid-day prayers, as they are accustomed to pray as soon as the zawál has been observed. But in general it would be wrong to call dhohor noon, as is very often done; for none of the other Mohammedans in this part of the world will say his dhohor prayer before two o’clock P.M. at the very earliest, and generally not before three o’clock.
