542 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي لَبِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ: " لَا تَغْلِبَنَّكُمُ الْأَعْرَابُ عَلَى اسْمِ صَلَاتِكُمْ أَلَا إِنَّهَا الْعِشَاء أَوَّلُ وَقْتِ الصُّبْحِ "

Commentary
The Bedouins continued calling the 'Ishâ' prayer 'Atamah' (the first third of the night, after the disappearance of the sun's reddish afterglow) but they further called the Maghrib prayer 'Ishâ'. That is not at all proper, because in that case, the commands of 'Ishâ' would begin to be applied to the Maghrib prayer and this would cause serious confusion. Calling the 'Ishâ' 'Atamah' is due to its trait and therefore it is treated leniently. But calling the Maghrib by the name of 'Ishâ' is not at all appropriate.
