Hadith 18
The Book on Salat (Prayer)
Jabir bin Abdullah narrated:
"On the Day of Al-Khandaq (the battle of the Trench), Umar bin Al-Khattab came cursing the disbelievers of Quraish and said: 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! I could not offer he Asr prayer until the sun was about to set.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'By Allah! I too have not offered the Salat.'" So he said: "We descended into Buthan, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed Wudu and we too performed Wudu. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed Asr after the sun had set, then after it he prayed Maghrib."
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، بُنْدَارٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ وَجَعَلَ يَسُبُّ كُفَّارَ قُرَيْشٍ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كِدْتُ أُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
وَاللَّهِ إِنْ صَلَّيْتُهَا
