English translation

808. ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Ubaidullāh said: “I, along with some other youth from Banū Hāshim, visited Ibn ‘Abbās. So we asked one of the youth among us: ‘Ask Ibn ‘Abbās if the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to recite in Zuhr and ʾAṣr.’ He (Ibn ‘Abbās) said: ‘No, no!’ Someone said: 'He might have recited to himself.' He replied: 'Woe to you, this is worse than the first one! He (ﷺ) was a servant commanded (by Allāh), and he proclaimed what he was sent with. And we[1] were not specified except in three matters: We were commanded with Isbāgh during Wudū', and not to eat from charity, and not to allow a donkey to mate with a horse."[2] (Hasan)

Arabic text

808 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَالِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي شَبَابٍ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ فَقُلْنَا لِشَابٍّ مِنَّا: سَلِ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا، لَا، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: فَلَعَلَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي نَفْسِهِ، فَقَالَ: خَمْشًا هَذِهِ شَرٌّ مِنَ الْأُولَى، كَانَ عَبْدًا مَأْمُورًا بَلَّغَ مَا أُرْسِلَ بِهِ وَمَا اخْتَصَّنَا دُونَ النَّاسِ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا بِثَلَاثِ خِصَالٍ «أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُسْبِغَ الْوُضُوءَ، وَأَنْ لَا نَأْكُلَ الصَّدَقَةَ، وَأَنْ لَا نُنْزِيَ الْحِمَارَ عَلَى الْفَرَسِ»

    [3] Abū Dāwūd narrated this from Muḥammad bin ‘Eisā, and his statement here indicates that out of the three he heard it from, only this one mentioned that it was from Sulaimān At-Taimī from Umayyah, from Abū Mijlāz, the remainder did not mention Umayyah in the chain, but Sulaimān from Abū Mijlāz.
