حَدَّثَنِي يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ وَحَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَبِي عَاصِمٍ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَزْرَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عِلْبَائُ بْنُ أَحْمَرَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو زَيْدٍ يَعْنِي عَمْرَو بْنَ أَخْطَبَ قَالَ صَلَّی بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْفَجْرَ وَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّی حَضَرَتْ الظُّهْرُ فَنَزَلَ فَصَلَّی ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّی حَضَرَتْ الْعَصْرُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّی ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّی غَرَبَتْ الشَّمْسُ فَأَخْبَرَنَا بِمَا کَانَ وَبِمَا هُوَ کَائِنٌ فَأَعْلَمُنَا أَحْفَظُنَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7267
Abu Zaid (viz. Amr b. Akhtab) reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) led us in the dawn prayer and then mounted the pulpit and addressed us until it was (time for the) noon prayer. He then came down the pulpit and observed prayer and then again mounted the pulpit and again addressed us until it was time for the 'Asr prayer. He then again came down and observed the prayer and again mounted the pulpit and addressed us until the sun was set and he informed (about) everything (pertaining to turmoil) that lay hidden in the past and what lies in (the womb) of) the future and the most learned amongst us is one who remembers them well
