[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»

[Machine] He approached until he reached Abu Kulthum Al-Dawsi, so they discussed the middle prayer. He said, "We differed in it just as you differed. We are in the courtyard of the Prophet's ﷺ house, and among us is the righteous man, Abu Hashim ibn Utba ibn Rabia ibn Abdul Shams." He said, "I have more knowledge of that for you." So he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and boldly approached him, seeking permission. He entered to him, then came out to us and informed us that it was the Asr prayer.

أَنَّهُ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى نَزَلَ عَلَى أَبِي كُلْثُومٍ الدَّوْسِيِّ فَتَذَاكَرُوا الصَّلَاةَ الْوُسْطَى فَقَالَ اخْتَلَفْنَا فِيهَا كَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ وَنَحْنُ بِفِنَاءِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِينَا الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ أَبُو هَاشِمِ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ فَقَالَ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ لَكُمْ ذَلِكَ «فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ جَرِيئًا عَلَيْهِ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ فَدَخَلَ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّهَا صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ»
