ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ عِنْدَ اشْتِدَادِ الْخَوْفِ أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَى أَنْ يَفْرُغَ مِنْ قِتَالِهِ

On the day of the Khandaq ʿUmar came, cursing the disbelievers of Quraish and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have not offered the ʿAsr prayer and the sun has set." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "By Allah! I too, have not offered the prayer yet. "The Prophet ﷺ then went to Buthan, performed ablution and performed the ʿAsr prayer after the sun had set and then offered the Maghrib prayer after it."  

جَاءَ عُمَرُ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ فَجَعَلَ يَسُبُّ كُفَّارَ قُرَيْشٍ وَيَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُ الْعَصْرَ حَتَّى كَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَنْ تَغِيبَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُهَا بَعْدُ قَالَ فَنَزَلَ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ بَعْدَ مَا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ بَعْدَهَا  

On the day of Al-Khandaq (the trench), ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! By Allah, I could not pray (the ʿAsr) till the sun had set." ʿUmar told this to the Prophet at the time when a fasting person had done Iftar (taken his meals). The Prophet ﷺ then went to Buthan and I was with him. He performed ablution and offered the ʿAsr prayer after the sun had set and then the Maghrib prayer.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَاءَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا كِدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ حَتَّى كَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ تَغْرُبُ وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَاللَّهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُهَا فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى يَعْنِي الْعَصْرَ بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا الْمَغْرِبَ  

ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab came on the day of Al-Khandaq after the sun had set and he was abusing the infidels of Quraish saying, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I was unable to offer the (ʿAsr) prayer till the sun was about to set." The Prophet ﷺ said, "By Allah, I have not offered this (i.e. ʿAsr) prayer." So we came down along with the Prophet ﷺ to Buthan where he performed ablution for the prayer and then we performed the ablution for it. Then he offered the ʿAsr prayer after the sun had set, and after it he offered the Maghrib prayer.  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كِدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ حَتَّى كَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَاللَّهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُهَا فَنَزَلْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بُطْحَانَ فَتَوَضَّأَ لِلصَّلاَةِ وَتَوَضَّأْنَا لَهَا فَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا الْمَغْرِبَ  

Messenger of Allah, by God, I could not say. the 'Asr prayer till the sun set. Upon this the Messenger ﷺ said: By Allah I, too, have not observed it. So we went to a valley. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution and we too performed ablution, and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the 'Asr prayer after the sun had set. and then said the evening prayer after it.  

وَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا كِدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ الْعَصْرَ حَتَّى كَادَتْ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنْ صَلَّيْتُهَا فَنَزَلْنَا إِلَى بُطْحَانَ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَوَضَّأْنَا فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا الْمَغْرِبَ  

On the Day of Al-Khandaq, after the sun had set, Umar bin Al-Khattab started cursing the disbelievers of the Quraish and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I was hardly able to pray until the sun set." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "By Allah, I did not pray." So we went down with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Buthan. He performed wudu' for prayer and so did we, and he prayed 'Asr after the sun had set, then he prayed Maghrib after that."  

وَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كِدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ حَتَّى كَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ تَغْرُبُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُهَا فَنَزَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ فَتَوَضَّأَ لِلصَّلاَةِ وَتَوَضَّأْنَا لَهَا فَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا الْمَغْرِبَ  

" جاء عمر يوم الخندق فجعل يسب كفار قريش ويقول: يا رسول الله! ما صليت العصر حتى كادت الشمس أن تغيب، فقال رسول الله ﷺ : وأنا والله ما صليت بعد، فنزل فتوضأ ثم صلى العصر بعد ما غربت الشمس، ثم صلى المغرب بعد ما صلى العصر ".
