English translation
553. Mu'ādḥ bin Jabal narrated: "While the Prophet ﷺ was at the Battle of Tabūk, if he wanted to depart before the sun's decline he would delay Zuhr so that he could pray it together with ʿAṣr. If he wanted to depart after the sun's decline, he would hasten ʿAṣr to Zuhr, and pray Zuhr and ʿAṣr together, and then move out. If he wanted to depart before Maghrib he would delay Maghrib until he prayed it with Ishā, and if he wanted to depart after Maghrib he would hasten Ishā so that he would pray it along with Maghrib." (Ṣaḥīḥ) (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from 'Alī, Ibn 'Umar, Anas, 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, 'Aishah, Ibn 'Abbās, Usāmah bin Zaid, and Jābir (bin 'Abdullāh). Abū 'Eisā said: (And the one that is Ṣaḥīḥ is from Usāmah.) And 'Alī bin Al-Madīnī reported this Hadīth from Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal, from Qutaibah.
