3611. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin 'Ubaidullâh bin 'Abbâs said: I was with Ibn 'Abbâs and a man asked him: "Did the
Messenger of Allâh ﷺ recite during Zuhr and ‘Asr?” He said: “No.” He said: “Perhaps he used to recite to himself?” He said: “May your face be scratched! This question is worse than the first one. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was a slave whose Lord commanded him and he conveyed (the message). By Allâh, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did not specify anything for us above the people, except for three things: He commanded us to perform Wudû properly,[1] not to consume charity, and not to mate donkeys with horses.” (Hasan)
