English translation
394. It was reported from Usāmah bin Zaid Al-Laithī that Ibn Shihāb narrated that ‘Umar bin ‘Abdul-‘Azīz was sitting on the Minbar, and he delayed ‘Aṣr slightly. ‘Urwah bin Az-Zubair said to him: “Verily, Jibrīl — peace be upon him — has informed Muḥammad ﷺ of the times of the prayers.” ‘Umar said: “Be careful of what you say!”
‘Urwah said: “I heard Bashīr bin Abī Mas‘ūd say, that he heard Abū Mas‘ūd Al-Anṣārī narrate, that he heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: Jibrīl came down and informed me of the times of the prayers. So I prayed with him, then I prayed with him, then I prayed with him, then I prayed with him, then I prayed with him — and he (meaning the Prophet ﷺ) counted with his fingers five prayers.’ So I (meaning, Abū Mas‘ūd) saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ pray Zuhr when the sun started its descent (after the zenith), and he sometimes delayed it if it were hot. And I saw him praying ‘Aṣr while the sun was high and
bright, before it became yellowish. A person would leave (after) the (ʿAṣr) prayer and (still manage to) arrive at Dhul-Hulaifah before sunset. And he (ﷺ) would pray Maghrib when the sun set. And he would pray 'Ishā' when the skies would become dark, and sometimes he would delay it until the people congregated. And he prayed Ṣubh (Fajr) once while it was (still) dark, and another time he prayed it while it was bright. Then after that he would pray it while it was dark, and he did this until he died, never returning (to the time) of brightness." (Ḥasan)
Abū Dāwūd said: This Ḥadīth was reported from Az-Zuhri' by Ma'mar, Mālik, Ibn 'Uyaynah, Shu'aib bin Abī Ḥamzah, Al-Laith bin Sa'd, and others, and they did not mention the time he prayed in it, nor its explanation.
It was reported like that by Hishām bin 'Urwah and Ḥabib bin Abī Marzūq, from 'Urwah similar to the narration of Ma'mar and his companions, except that Ḥabib did not mention Bashīr in it.
Wahb bin Kaisān reported from Jābir, from the Prophet ﷺ regarding the time of Maghrib: "He said: 'Then he came for Maghrib when the sun disappeared,' meaning the second day — 'at the same time.'"[1]
Abū Dāwūd said: And that is how it was related from Abū Hurairah,
from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "Then he prayed Maghrib with me — meaning the next day — at the same time."
And this is how it has also been related from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr bin Al-'Ās, through the narration of Hassān bin 'Aṭiyah, from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet ﷺ.[1]
