Hadith 3.1

Prayer

ENGLISH

Ibn ‘Umar reported God’s Messenger as saying, "Do not let the Bedouin take away from you the name of your prayer <i>al-maghrib</i> (sunset) which the Bedouin call <i>al-'isha</i> (evening); and do not let the Bedouin take away from you the name of your prayer <i>al-‘isha</i>, for it is mentioned as <i>al-‘isha</i> in God’s Book,[1] and for they use the verb from the root <i>‘atama</i> of milking camels at nightfall.” 1. (Al-Qur’an, 24:58.)

ARABIC

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَغْلِبَنَّكُمُ الْأَعْرَابُ على اسْم صَلَاتكُمْ الْمغرب» . قَالَ: «وَتقول الْأَعْرَاب هِيَ الْعشَاء» وَقَالَ: " لَا يَغْلِبَنَّكُمُ الْأَعْرَابُ عَلَى اسْمِ صَلَاتِكُمُ الْعِشَاءِ فَإِنَّهَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ الْعِشَاءُ فَإِنَّهَا تعتم بحلاب الْإِبِل. رَوَاهُ مُسلم
