ahmad:12912ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Sufyān > Manṣūr > Ribʿī > Abū al-Abyaḍiʿan Anas b. Mālik

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray the Asr prayer while the sun was still high in the sky. Then, I would return to my family and tribe from the direction of the city and say: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has prayed, so get up and pray."  

أحمد:١٢٩١٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَبْيَضِعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ بَيْضَاءُ مُحَلِّقَةٌ فَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَهْلِي وَعَشِيرَتِي مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ صَلَّى فَقُومُوا فَصَلُّوا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray Asr (afternoon prayer) with us while the sun was still white and high, then he would return to our people who were on the outskirts of the city and find them sitting. So, he would say to them, "Get up and pray, for indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has prayed."  

أحمد:١٣٤٣٤حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَبْيَضِ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِنَا الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ بَيْضَاءُ مُحَلِّقَةٌ ثُمَّ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى قَوْمِي وَهُمْ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَجِدُهُمْ جُلُوسًا فَأَقُولُ لَهُمْ قُومُوا فَصَلُّوا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ صَلَّى
