[Machine] Abu Huraira arrived in Damascus and stayed with Abu Kulthum Al-Saddusi. We visited him and discussed the middle prayer. We disagreed about it, so Abu Huraira said, "You disagreed about it just as we did when we were in Quba, near the house of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . And there was a righteous man with us, Abu Hashim ibn Utba ibn Rabi'ah. He stood up and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and had a discussion with him. Then he came back to us and informed us that it is the Asr prayer."
قَدِمَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ دِمَشْقَ فَنَزَلَ عَلَى أَبِي كُلْثُومٍ السَّدُوسِيِّ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَتَذَاكَرْنَا الصَّلَاةَ الْوُسْطَى فَاخْتَلَفْنَا فِيهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ «اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهَا كَمَا اخْتَلَفْنَا فِيهَا وَنَحْنُ بِقُبَاءَ عِنْدَ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَفِينَا الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ أَبُو هَاشِمِ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ فَقَامَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ جَرِيئًا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّهَا الْعَصْرُ»
