English translation

1204. It was reported from Mishāj bin Mūsā, who said: "I asked Anas bin Mālik: 'Narrate to us something that you heard from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.' So he said: 'When we used to be with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on a journey, we would say (to ourselves): "Has the sun begun its descent or not?" — and he (the Prophet ﷺ) would pray Zuhr, and continue traveling.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

1204 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْمِسْحَاجِ بْنِ مُوسَى، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: حَدِّثْنَا مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " كُنَّا إِذَا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السَّفَرِ، فَقُلْنَا: زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ، أَوْ لَمْ تَزُلْ، صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ، ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلَ "
