* However, the Rambam and Tur 89:1 hold that if a person intentionally prayed after the fourth hour he still receives reward for [[prayer]]. The Bet Yosef 89:1 explains that the Rambam tried to minimize the dispute between רבנן and Rabbi Yehuda so that there would not be an argument as to whether one totally fulfills the mitzvah or does not fulfill it at all in the period between the fourth and sixth hour. Rather they both agree that it is still time for [[Shacharit]] but according to Rabbi Yehuda one who prays at that time only receives reward for [[prayer]] but not that of [[prayer]] in its proper time while רבנן hold that one would also receive the reward of it being in its proper time. According to this explanation, one should be able to pray in this period even if one intentionally did not pray beforehand. | * However, the Rambam and Tur 89:1 hold that if a person intentionally prayed after the fourth hour he still receives reward for [[prayer]].

* Additionally, if one holds like the Rif then one would be able to daven at any time even between six and sixth and a half, while according to the Rambam one should only be able to pray as long as there is some opinion which considers it the time for [[Shacharit]]. The Bet Yosef adds that the Rashba agrees with the Rambam. (It seems that the Bet Yosef understands the Rashba to say that you certainly may not pray during the half hour after [[Chatzot]]. The Bach argues that the Rashba meant something else entirely, namely that one should pray the [[Tashlumin]] right after having prayed the obligatory [[Tefilla]].) | * Additionally, if one holds like the Rif then one would be able to daven at any time even between six and sixth and a half, while according to the Rambam one should only be able to pray as long as there is some opinion which considers it the time for [[Shacharit]].
