Sub-Chapter (Baab)

Sahih Al Bukhari 521

Imam Bukhari narrates: Abdullah bin Maslamah narrated the hadith to us. He said: I recited upon Imam Malik, from Ibn Shihab, that

one day Umar bin Abdul Aziz delayed the prayer. Then Urwah bin Az-Zubair came to him and informed him that Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah had delayed the prayer one day, and he was in Iraq at that time. Then Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari, may Allāh be pleased with him, came to him and said: O Mughirah! What time is this? Do you not know that Jibrīl descended, then he prayed, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed; then he prayed, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed; then he prayed, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed; then he prayed, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed; then he prayed, so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed. Then he said: I have been commanded with this matter.

Then Umar bin Abdul Aziz said to Urwah: Understand! What hadith are you narrating? Did Jibrīl fix the time of prayer for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ? Urwah said: Bishir bin Abi Mas'ud used to narrate in the same way from his father, may Allāh be pleased with him.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، أَخَّرَ الصَّلاَةَ يَوْمًا، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ أَخَّرَ الصَّلاَةَ يَوْمًا وَهْوَ بِالْعِرَاقِ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا مُغِيرَةُ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى، فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ بِهَذَا أُمِرْتُ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِعُرْوَةَ اعْلَمْ مَا تُحَدِّثُ أَوَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ هُوَ أَقَامَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقْتَ الصَّلاَةِ‏.‏ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ بَشِيرُ بْنُ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ‏.‏ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ وَلَقَدْ حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ، وَالشَّمْسُ فِي حُجْرَتِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ‏.‏
