"We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we were prevented from praying Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib and 'Isha'. I felt very upset about that and I said to myself: 'We are with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and (fighting) for the sake of Allah.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded Bilal to say the Iqamah and he led us in praying Zuhr. Then he said the Iqamah and he led us in praying 'Asr. Then he said the Iqamah and he led us in praying Maghrib. Then he said the Iqamah and he led us in praying 'Isha'. Then he went around among us and told us: 'There is no group on Earth who is remembering Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, except you.'"  

النسائي:٦٢٢أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتَوَائِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحُبِسْنَا عَنْ صَلاَةِ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ فَاشْتَدَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَىَّ فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِلاَلاً فَأَقَامَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا الْعِشَاءَ ثُمَّ طَافَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ عِصَابَةٌ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ ﷻ غَيْرُكُمْ

[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we missed the Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha prayers. It became difficult for us, so we said, "We are with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and in the way of Allah." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Bilal to establish the prayer, so we prayed with every prayer he established. Then he said, "There is no group on earth that remembers Allah except you."
