[Machine] In his statement, he said that Ka'b is lying, just as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said every Friday. I said, "Indeed, he has returned." He said, "By the one in whose hand is the soul of Abdullah bin Salam, I know that hour." I said, "O Abdullah, then tell me about it." He said, "It is the last hour of the day of Friday." I said, "He said that it does not coincide with a believer while he is praying." He said, "Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever is waiting for a prayer is in a state of prayer until he prays'? I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'That's how it is."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ قَالَ كَذَبَ كَعْبٌ هُوَ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ رَجَعَ قَالَ أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِهَا قَالَ هِيَ آخِرُ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ قَالَ لَا يُوَافِقُ مُؤْمِنٌ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي قَالَ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ انْتَظَرَ صَلَاةً فَهُوَ فِي صَلَاةٍ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] Kab (the man) said, "And this happens every year, one day." Abdullah ibn Salam said, "Kab is lying." I said, "Then he (Kab) recited the Torah." Abdullah ibn Salam said, "No, it is every Friday." Abdullah ibn Salam said, "Kab is telling the truth." Then Abdullah ibn Salam asked, "Do you know which hour it is?" He (Kab) said, then Abu Hurairah said, "Inform me of it and do not keep me in suspense." Abdullah ibn Salam said, "It is the last hour on Friday." Abu Hurairah said, "But how can it be the last hour on Friday when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No Muslim servant will come across it while he is praying?'" And that is an hour in which no prayer is offered." Abdullah ibn Salam said, "Did not the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever sits waiting for the prayer, he is in prayer until he prays it?'" Abu Hurairah said, "Yes, he did." Abdullah ibn Salam said, "That is what it is."  

كَعْبٌ وَذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ يَوْمٌ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ كَذَبَ كَعْبٌ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ التَّوْرَاةَ فَقَالَ بَلْ هِيَ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ صَدَقَ كَعْبٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَيَّةَ سَاعَةٍ هِيَ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِهَا وَلَا تَضِنَّنَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ هِيَ آخِرُ سَاعَةٍ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَكَيْفَ تَكُونُ آخِرَ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يُصَادِفُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي» وَتِلْكَ سَاعَةٌ لَا يُصَلَّى فِيهَا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ أَلَمْ يَقُلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ جَلَسَ يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ فَهُوَ فِي صَلَاةٍ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا» قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ بَلَى قَالَ فَهُوَ ذَاكَ
