20:130 Times Of Prayer
Ta Ha – 20:130
Arabic
فَٱصۡبِرۡ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ قَبۡلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمۡسِ وَقَبۡلَ غُرُوبِهَاۖ وَمِنۡ ءَانَآئِ ٱلَّيۡلِ فَسَبِّحۡ وَأَطۡرَافَ ٱلنَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرۡضَىٰ
161. Ie., at the times of fajr and ‘asr.
162. The prayers of ‘isha’ and tahajjud are offered at night. This is a reference to them. The repetition of the verb in the verse is meant for emphasis.
163. These can only be three: the margins of morning, midday and the the evening. The prayers of Zuhr, maghrib and ‘isha’ are offered at these margins of the day. This directive of the prayer has been given as a measure to acquire patience because a person can only have this trait with God’s help and the sole way to receive His help is the prayer.

Al-Bayan
What are the margins of the day? It seems Ghamidi sahab wrote morning midday and evening (sunset) but then said zuhr maghrib and isha which are not respective to the aforementioned times.
It seems the margins would be Sunrise midday and sunset. But the sunrise prayer has already been mentioned so why would it be mentioned again?
