What is the legal basis for distinguishing the prohibition of prayer at sunrise/sunset/midday from the prohibition after Fajr and Asr?

Primary text

The stronger opinion holds that analogy (Qiyas) with the times after Fajr and Asr is invalid because the duration of the midday and sunrise/sunset prohibitions is brief. The reasoning for prohibiting prayer during the times after Fajr and Asr is often related to fear for the deceased; however, in the case of the sunrise/midday/sunset prohibitions, waiting for the time to pass is manageable, unlike the longer periods associated with post-Fajr and post-Asr. Thus, the explicit narration regarding these three times prevails.
