[Machine] He said, "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , prayed Dhuhr and Asr together, and Maghrib and Isha together, without fear or travel." Malik said, "I think that was during rain." 5544 Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Hafiz told us, Abu Ali Al-Husayn bin Ali Al-Hafiz informed me, Ali bin Al-Husayn As-Saffar reported to us, Yahya bin Yahya said, "I read to Malik and he mentioned it in the same way, except that he did not mention the statement of Malik."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ جَمِيعًا وَالْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ جَمِيعًا فِي غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلَا سَفَرٍ قَالَ مَالِكٌ أَرَى ذَلِكَ كَانَ فِي مَطَرٍ 5544 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ قَوْلَ مَالِكٍ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed the noon and afternoon prayers together in Medina without being in a state of fear or in a state of journey. (Abu Zubair said: I asked Sa'id [one of the narrators] why he did that. He said: I asked Ibn 'Abbas as you have asked me, and he replied that he [the Holy Prophet] wanted that no one among his Ummah should be put to [unnecessary] hardship.) (Using translation from Muslim 705b)   

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ جَمِيعًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلَا سَفَرٍ قَالَ أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ فَسَأَلْتُ سَعِيدًا لِمَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يُحْرِجَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ combined the Dhuhr and Asr prayers in Madinah without fear or travel.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلَا سَفَرٍ  

[Machine] I heard Ibn Abbas saying, "I prayed eight raka'at with the Prophet ﷺ , and seven raka'at with Ali." Sufyan narrated to us from Abu Zubair, from Sa'id bin Jubair, from Ibn Abbas, who said the same. So I asked Ibn Abbas, "Why did he do that?" He said, "He wanted to lighten the burden on his Ummah." Sufyan added in another narration from Abu Zubair, without fear or travel.  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ يَقُولُ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثَمَانِيَ جَمِيعًا وَسَبْعًا جَمِيعًا وَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَحَدَّثَنَا بِهِ سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مِثْلَهُ فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ لِمَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ وَزَادَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ فِي غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلَا سَفَرٍ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ combined the noon and afternoon prayers, and the sunset and night prayers at Medina without any danger and rain. He was asked: What did he intend by it ? He replied: He intended that his community might not fall into hardship. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1211)   

جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلَا سَفَرٍ قُلْتُ لِمَ تَرَى يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ؟ قَالَ أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered in a journey he traveled in the Battle of Tabuk, and he combined the Zhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers. So I said to Ibn Abbas, what prompted him to do that? He said, he wanted to not burden his Ummah.  

جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفْرَةٍ سَافَرَهَا فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَجَمَعَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا حَمَلَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah collected the prayers of Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha in the city of Madinah without fear or rain. It was said to him, "What did he intend by that?" He said, "He intended not to burden his nation." Waki' said in his narration, "Saeed said, I said to Ibn 'Abbas, 'Why did the Messenger of Allah do that?' He said, 'So as not to burden his nation.'"  

جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلَا مَطَرٍ قِيلَ لَهُ فَمَاذَا أَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ أَرَادَ أَنْ لَا يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ قَالَ وَكِيعٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ لِمَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ كَيْلَا يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed seven and eight prayers in Medina, including Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِالْمَدِينَةِ سَبْعًا وَثَمَانِيًا الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ وَالْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ  

[Machine] Abu Amr al-Adibi informed us that Abu Bakr al-Isma'ili informed us that Ja'far al-Firyabi narrated from Abu Bakr and Uthman, who said that Sufyan bin 'Uyaynah narrated to them, and Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us and Abu Muhammad bin Ziyad al-Adl informed me that Ahmad bin Mukram al-Burti narrated to us, who narrated from Ali bin al-Madinah, who narrated from Sufyan, who narrated from Amr bin Dinar, who said: "I heard Jabir bin Zaid saying, 'I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ eight Rak'ahs altogether, and seven Rak'ahs altogether.' I said, 'O Abu Ash-Sha'tha', did he delay Dhuhr and hasten 'Asr, and delay Maghrib and hasten 'Isha?' He said, 'I think so.'"  

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أنبأ جَعْفَرٌ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُثْمَانُ قَالَا ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الْعَدْلُ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ الْبِرْتِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثَمَانِيًا جَمِيعًا وَسَبْعًا جَمِيعًا قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الشَّعْثَاءِ أَرَاهُ أَخَّرَ الظُّهْرَ وَعَجَّلَ الْعَصْرَ وَأَخَّرَ الْمَغْرِبَ وَعَجَّلَ الْعِشَاءَ قَالَ وَأَنَا أَظُنُّ ذَلِكَ  

Ibn 'Abbas one day addressed us in the afternoon (after the afternoon prayer) till the sun disappeared and the stars appeared, and the people began to say: Prayer, prayer. A person from Banu Tamim came there. He neither slackened nor turned away, but (continued crying): Prayer, prayer. Ibn 'Abbas said: May you be deprived of your mother, do you teach me Sunnah? And then he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ combining the noon and afternoon prayers and the sunset and 'Isha' prayers. 'Abdullah b. Shaqiq said: Some doubt was created in my mind about it. So I came to Abu Huraira and asked him (about it) and he testified his assertion. (Using translation from Muslim 705g)   

فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ لَا يَفْتُرُ الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ فَقَالَ أَتُعَلِّمُنِي السُّنَّةَ لَا أُمَّ لَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ شَقِيقٍ فَحَاكَ فِي صَدْرِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَصَدَّقَ مَقَالَتَهُ  

[Machine] Is there no mother to teach you how to pray? We used to gather between the prayers during the time of the Messenger of Allah.  

لَا أُمَّ لَكَ تُعَلِّمُنَا بِالصَّلَاةِ؟ كُنَّا نَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] Ibn Abbas gathered them together during the rain before sunset.  

أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ جَمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا فِي الْمَطَرِ قَبْلَ الشَّفَقِ  

[Machine] Before twilight  

قَبْلَ الشَّفَقِ  

[Machine] "And Sa'id ibn Musayyib, 'Urwah ibn Zubayr, Abu Bakr ibn 'Abdul Rahman, and the scholars of that time used to pray with them and did not disapprove of that."  

وَأَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ وَعُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ وَأَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَمَشْيَخَةَ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ مَعَهُمْ وَلَا يُنْكِرُونَ ذَلِكَ
