689. It was narrated that 'Abbās bin 'Abdul-Muttalib said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'My Ummah will continue to adhere to the Fitrah[1] so long as they do not delay the Maghrib until the stars have all come out.'" (Hasan) Abu 'Abdullāh bin Mājah said: "I heard Muhammad bin Yahya saying: The people in Baghdād were confused in narrating this Hadith, Abu Bakr Al-A'yan and I went to 'Awwām bin 'Abbād bin 'Awwām and he brought out to us the book of his father, and this Hadith was in it."

689 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَزَالُ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، مَا لَمْ يُؤَخِّرُوا الْمَغْرِبَ حَتَّى تَشْتَبِكَ النُّجُومُ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَاجَةَ: سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَحْيَى يَقُولُ: اضْطَرَبَ النَّاسُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بِبَغْدَادَ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَعْيَنُ إِلَى الْعَوَّامِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ، فَأَخْرَجَ إِلَيْنَا أَصْلَ أَبِيهِ، فَإِذَا الْحَدِيثُ فِيهِ بَابُ وَقْتِ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ

Commentary

a. It is better to perform the prayer in its earliest prescribed time. One should especially avoid delaying the Maghrib prayer, since the time limit for it is less than for others. b. Delaying the prayers is deviation from the faith of Islam.
