ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ لَمْ يُسْفِرْ بِصَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ قَطُّ إِلَّا هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ، حَيْثُ سَأَلَهُ السَّائِلُ عَنْ أَوْقَاتِ الصَّلَوَاتِ، فَأَرَادَ إِعْلَامِهِ، وَحِينَ أَمَّهُ جِبْرِيلُ فِي ابْتِدَاءِ فَرْضِ الصَّلَاةِ، وَمَا عَدَا هَذَيْنِ الْوَقْتَيْنِ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ بِالتَّغْلِيسِ إِلَى أَنْ قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى جَنَّتِهِ ﷺ

'Umar b. 'Abdul 'Aziz was sitting on the pulpit and he somewhat postponed the afternoon prayer. 'Urwah b. al-Zubair said to him: "Gabriel informed Muhammed ﷺ of the time of prayer". So 'Umar said to him: "Be sure of what you are saying". 'Urwah then replied: "I heard Bashir b. Abu Mas'ud say that he heard Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari say that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Gabriel came down and informed me of the time of prayer, and I prayed along with him, then prayed along with him, then I prayed along with him, then I prayed along with him, then I prayed along with him, reckoning with his fingers five times of the prayer.' I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offering the Duhr prayer when the sun had passed the meridian. Sometimes he would delay it when it was sever heat ; and I witnessed that he prayer the 'Asr prayer when the sun was high and bright before the yellowness had overcome it; then a man could go off after the prayer and reach Dhu'l-Hulaifah before the sunset, and he would pray Maghrib when the sun had set ; and he would pray the 'Isha prayer when darkness prevailed over the horizon; sometime he would delay it until the people assembled; and once he prayer the fair prayer in the darkness of dawn and at another time he prayed it when it became fairly light; but later on he continued to pray in the darkness of dawn until his death; he never prayed it again in the light of the dawn." Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted from al-Zuhri by Ma'mar, Malik, Ibn 'Uyainah, Shu'aib b. Abi Hamzah, and al-Laith b. Sa'd and others; but they did not mention the time in which he (the Prophet) had prayer, nor did they explain it. And similarly it has been narrated by Hisham b. 'Urwah and Habib b. Abu Mazruq from 'Urwah like the report of Ma'mar and his companions. But Habib did not make a mention of Bashir. And Wahb b. Kaisan reported on the authority of Jabir from the Prophet ﷺ the time of the Maghrib prayer. He said: "Next day he (Gabriel) came to him at the time of the Maghrib prayer when the sun had already set. (He came both days) at the same time." Abu Dawud said: Similarly, this tradition has been transmitted by Abu Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ. He said: "Then he (Gabriel) led me in the sunset prayer next day at the same time." Similarly, this tradition has been narrated through a different chain by 'Abd Allah b. 'Amr b. al-'As, through a chain from Hassan b. 'Atiyyah, from 'Amr b. Shu'aib, from his father, on the authority from the Prophet ﷺ.  

لَهُ عُمَرُ اعْلَمْ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ سَمِعْتُ بَشِيرَ بْنَ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ نَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَنِي بِوَقْتِ الصَّلاَةِ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ يَحْسُبُ بِأَصَابِعِهِ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ وَرُبَّمَا أَخَّرَهَا حِينَ يَشْتَدُّ الْحَرُّ وَرَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَهَا الصُّفْرَةُ فَيَنْصَرِفُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ فَيَأْتِي ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ وَيُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ تَسْقُطُ الشَّمْسُ وَيُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ حِينَ يَسْوَدُّ الأُفُقُ وَرُبَّمَا أَخَّرَهَا حَتَّى يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ وَصَلَّى الصُّبْحَ مَرَّةً بِغَلَسٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّى مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَأَسْفَرَ بِهَا ثُمَّ كَانَتْ صَلاَتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ التَّغْلِيسَ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَعُدْ إِلَى أَنْ يُسْفِرَ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Jibreel (Gabriel) came down and informed me of the prayer time, so I prayed with him. Then I prayed with him again, and again, and again, and again." He counted with his fingers five prayers. "And I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying the Dhuhr (noon) prayer when the sun passes its zenith, and sometimes he would delay it until the heat becomes intense. And I saw him praying the Asr (afternoon) prayer when the sun is still high and white before it turns yellow. Then a man would finish his prayer and come to Dhul-Hulayfah (a place) before the sunset and pray the Maghrib (evening) prayer when the sun sets. And he would pray the Isha (night) prayer when the horizon becomes dark, and sometimes he would delay it until people gather. And he would pray the Fajr (dawn) prayer once with twilight and then again with the full light, and thereafter he would pray it with full light until he passed away. He did not miss praying with full light again."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «نَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ فَأَخْبَرَنِي بِوَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ» فَحَسَبَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ «وَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ وَرُبَّمَا أَخَّرَهَا حِينَ يَشْتَدُّ الْحَرُّ وَرَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَهَا الصُّفْرَةُ فَيَنْصَرِفُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَيَأْتِي ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ وَيُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ تَسْقُطُ الشَّمْسُ وَيُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ حِينَ يَسْوَدُّ الْأُفُقُ وَرُبَّمَا أَخَّرَهُ حَتَّى يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ وَصَلَّى الصُّبْحَ مَرَّةً بِغَلَسٍ وَصَلَّى مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَأَسْفَرَ بِهَا ثُمَّ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِالْغَلَسِ حَتَّى مَاتَ ﷺ لَمْ يَعُدْ إِلَى أَنْ يُسْفِرَ»  

[Machine] Gabriel ﷺ descended upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and prayed with him, informing him of the prayer times. 'Umar said to Abdullah: What are you saying, O Abdullah? Urwah informed me at that time that Bashir bin Abi Mas'ood al-Ansari told me that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Gabriel ﷺ descended upon me, so I prayed with him. Then I prayed with him. Then I prayed with him. Then I prayed with him. Then I prayed with him. Then I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying the migration prayer when the sun began to decline, and sometimes he would delay it due to the intensity of the heat, before 'Asr and the sun would be white and high in the sky. A man could walk until he reaches Dhul-Hulayfah, six miles before sunset, and then he would pray Maghrib when the sun had set, and he would pray 'Isha when the horizon became dark, and he would pray Fajr when there was light in the sky. Then he would pray it on another day until it became bright, then he would not pray it during his journey until Allah took him. And the wording is that of Abu Salih.  

أنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ نَزَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى مَعَهُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِوَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ مَا تَقُولُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ؟ فَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أَخْبَرَنِي بَشِيرُ بْنُ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الْهَاجِرَةَ حِينَ تَزِيغُ الشَّمْسُ وَرُبَّمَا أَخَّرَهَا فِي شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ وَالْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ بَيْضَاءُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ يَسِيرُ الرَّجُلُ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ مِنْهَا إِلَى ذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ سِتَّةَ أَمْيَالٍ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ وَيُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ إِذَا وَجَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَيُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ إِذَا اسْوَدَّ الْأُفُقُ وَيُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ بِغَلَسٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّاهَا يَوْمًا فَأَسْفَرَ بِهَا ثُمَّ لَمْ يَعُدْ إِلَى الْإِسْفَارِ حَتَّى قَبَضَهُ اللهُ وَاللَّفْظُ لِأَبِي صَالِحٍ  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying the midday prayer as the sun was setting, and sometimes he would delay it until the heat became intense. I saw him praying the afternoon prayer while the sun was still high and white, before it turned yellow. Then a man would finish his prayer and another man named Dhul-Hulayfah would come and pray before the sun set. Then he would pray the evening prayer as the sun was setting and the horizon turned dark. Sometimes he would delay it until the people gathered, and he would pray the dawn prayer while it was still dark, then he would pray another prayer and the day would break, and after that his prayers would be slightly delayed until he passed away, and he did not return to praying them early again.  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ وَرُبَّمَا أَخَّرَهَا حِينَ يَشْتَدُّ الْحَرُّ وَرَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَدْخُلْهَا الصُّفْرَةُ فَيَنْصَرِفُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَيَأْتِي ذَا الْحُلَيْفَةِ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ وَيُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ تَسْقُطُ الشَّمْسُ وَيُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ حِينَ يَسْوَدُّ الْأُفُقُ وَرُبَّمَا أَخَّرَهَا حَتَّى يَجْتَمِعَ النَّاسُ وَيُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ بِغَلَسٍ ثُمَّ صَلَّى مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَأَسْفَرَ بِهَا ثُمَّ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِغَلَسٍ حَتَّى مَاتَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُعِدْ إِلَى أَنْ يُسْفِرَ
