432. 'Amr bin Maimūn Al-Awdī said: "Mu'ād bin Jabal came to us in Yemen; as the emissary of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to us. So I heard him say the Takbīr during Fajr. He was a man with a very deep voice, and (immediately) love for him was placed in me (by Allāh). So I did not leave him until I buried him in Ash-Shām (after his) death. Then I searched for the most knowledgeable person after him, so I went to Ibn Mas'ūd and attached myself to him until he died. Once, he told me that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'How will your affairs be when there will be Amīrs in charge of you who will offer the prayers at other than their proper times?' I (Ibn Mas'ūd) said: 'So what do you command me to do if I live to that time, O Messenger of Allāh?' He said: 'Offer the prayer at its proper time, and make your prayer with them voluntary.'" (Hasan)

432 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ دُحَيْمٌ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي حَسَّانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَابِطٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الْأَوْدِيِّ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ الْيَمَنَ رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْنَا، قَالَ: فَسَمِعْتُ تَكْبِيرَهُ مَعَ الْفَجْرِ رَجُلٌ أَجَشُّ الصَّوْتِ، قَالَ: فَأُلْقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ مَحَبَّتِي فَمَا فَارَقْتُهُ حَتَّى دَفَنْتُهُ بِالشَّامِ مَيِّتًا، ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى أَفْقَهِ النَّاسِ بَعْدَهُ فَأَتَيْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَلَزِمْتُهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ، فَقَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا أَتَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ يُصَلُّونَ الصَّلَاةَ لِغَيْرِ مِيقَاتِهَا»، قُلْتُ : فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي إِنْ أَدْرَكَنِي ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِمِيقَاتِهَا وَاجْعَلْ صَلَاتَكَ مَعَهُمْ سُبْحَةً»
