ONE HADITH A DAY
Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim · Authentic hadith
عن جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما «أنَّ عمر بن الخَطَاب رضي الله عنه جاء يَومَ الخَندَقِ بَعدَ مَا غَرَبَت الشَّمسُ فَجَعَل يَسُبُّ كُفَّار قُرَيشٍ، وقال: يا رسول الله، مَا كِدتُّ أُصَلِّي العَصرَ حَتَّى كَادَت الشَّمسُ تَغرُبُ، فَقَال النَبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم : والله مَا صَلَّيتُهَا، قال: فَقُمنَا إلَى بُطحَان، فَتَوَضَّأ للصَّلاَة، وتَوَضَأنَا لَهَا، فَصَلَّى العَصر بعد مَا غَرَبَت الشَّمسُ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بعدَها المَغرِب».
“Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb came cursing the disbelievers of Quraysh after the sun had set on the Day of the Trench, and he said: "O Messenger of Allah, I could not offer the ‘Asr prayer till the sun had set." The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Allah! I have not yet prayed it either." So we went to But-hān, and he performed ablution and so did we, and then he offered the ‘Asr prayer after the sun had set and then followed it with the Maghrib prayer.”
