418. It was reported that Marthad bin 'Abdullāh said: "Abū Ayyūb came to us (during one of the battles) as a fighter. 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir, at that time, was (the governor) in charge of Egypt, and he delayed Maghrib. Abū Ayyūb stood up and said: 'What prayer is this, O 'Uqbah?' So he said: 'We were kept busy (by some matter).' He said: 'Did you not hear the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "My nation will remain in good" or he said: "...upon the Fitrah,[1] as long as they do not delay Maghrib until the stars appear." (Hasan)

418 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا أَبُو أَيُّوبَ غَازِيًا وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِر يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى مِصْرَ فَأَخَّرَ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو أَيُّوب، فَقَالَ: لَهُ مَا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةُ يَا عُقْبَةُ، فَقَالَ: شُغِلْنَا، قَالَ: أَمَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَا تَزَالُ أُمَّتِي بِخَيْرٍ» - أَوْ قَالَ: عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ - مَا لَمْ يُؤَخِّرُوا الْمَغْرِبَ إِلَى أَنْ تَشْتَبِكَ النُّجُومُ "
