أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتْ الشَّمْسُ جَعَلَ يَسُبُّ کُفَّارَ قُرَيْشٍ وَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا کِدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ حَتَّی کَادَتْ الشَّمْسُ تَغْرُبُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُهَا فَنَزَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَی بُطْحَانَ فَتَوَضَّأَ لِلصَّلَاةِ وَتَوَضَّأْنَا لَهَا فَصَلَّی الْعَصْرَ بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتْ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ صَلَّی بَعْدَهَا الْمَغْرِبَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1371
It was narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah that on the Day of Al Khandaq, after the sun had set, ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab started cursing the disbelievers of the Quraish, and said: “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, I was hardly able to pray until the sun set.” The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “By Allah, I did not pray.” So we went down with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم to Buthan. He performed Wudufor prayer and so did we, and he prayed ‘Asr after the sun had set, then he prayed Maghrib after that.” (Sahih).
