[Machine] To say to him the prayer until the whiteness of the horizon disappeared and the darkness of the night was gone, then he came down and prayed with us three Rak'ahs and two more Rak'ahs and turned towards us and said, "This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do."  

أحمد:٤٥٩٨حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ إِلَى الْحِمَى فَلَمَّا غَرُبَتِ الشَّمْسُ هِبْنَا

أَنْ نَقُولَ لَهُ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ بَيَاضُ الْأُفُقِ وَذَهَبَتْ فَحْمَةُ الْعِشَاءِ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا ثَلَاثًا وَاثْنَتَيْنِ وَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا وَقَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَلَ

"I accompanied Ibn 'Umar to Al-Hima. [1] When the sun set I felt too nervous to remind him of the prayer, so he went on until the light on the horizon had disappeared and it was getting dark, then he stopped and prayed Maghrib, three Rak'ahs, then he prayed two Rak'ahs immediately afterwards, then he said: 'This what I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do.'"

الكبرى للنسائي:١٥٨٣أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ شَيْخٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَالَ صَحِبْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ إِلَى الْحِمَى فَلَمَّا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ هِبْتُ
