560. Narrated Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ used to offer the Zuhr prayer at mid-day, and the ‘Aṣr’ at a time when the sun was still bright, the Maghrib after sunset (at its stated time) and the ‘Ishā’ at a variable time. Whenever he saw the people assembled (for ‘Ishā’ prayer) he would offer Salāt (prayer) earlier and if the people delayed, he would delay the Salāt. And they or the Prophet ﷺ used to offer the Fajr prayer when it was still dark.
560 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ الحَجَّاجُ فَسَأَلْنَا جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ: «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ بِالهَاجِرَةِ، وَالعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ نَقِيَّةٌ، وَالمَغْرِبَ إِذَا وَجَبَتْ، وَالعِشَاءَ أَحْيَانًا وَأَحْيَانًا، إِذَا رَآهُمُ اجْتَمَعُوا عَجَّلَ، وَإِذَا رَآهُمْ أَبْطَؤُوا أَخَّرَ، وَالصُّبْحَ كَانُوا - أَوْ كَانَ - النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّيهَا بِغَلَسٍ»

(1) (H.558) So, this is the similitude of Muslims who accepted Allāh’s Guidance and the teachings of His Messenger ﷺ, and the similitude of the Jews and Christians who distorted and corrupted their Book and disbelieved in the Prophet ﷺ who came after ‘Iesa (Jesus). We notice that the Jews and Christians referred to in this Hadīth are different from those referred to in Hadīth No.532 for the latter were believers and died before the advent of Muḥammad ﷺ and this is why they are rewarded, while the rewards of the former were given to the Muslims.
