4007. Narrated Az-Zuhri: I heard 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair talking to 'Umar bin 'Abdul-'Aziz during the latter's governorship (at Al-Madina), he said, "Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba delayed the 'Aṣr prayer when he was the ruler of Al-Kūfa. On that, Abū Mas'ūd 'Uqba bin 'Amr Al-Anṣārī, the grand-father of Zaid bin Ḥasan, who was one of the warriors of the battle of Badr, came in and said (to Al-Mughira), 'You know that Jibrīl (Gabriel) came down and offered the Ṣalāt (prayer) and Allāh's Messenger ﷺ offered five prescribed Ṣalāt (prayers), and Jibrīl said (to the Prophet ﷺ): I have been ordered to do so (i.e., offer these five Ṣalāt (prayers) at these fixed stated times of the day).'"
