حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ أَفَضْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ مِنْ عَرَفَةَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةَ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا بِأَذَانٍ وَإِقَامَةٍ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا الْعَشَاءَ ثُمَّ نَامَ فَلَمَّا قَالَ قَائِلٌ طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ هَاتَيْنِ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ أُخِّرَتَا عَنْ وَقْتِهِمَا فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ أَمَّا الْمَغْرِبُ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ لَا يَأْتُونَ هَاهُنَا حَتَّى يُعْتِمُوا وَأَمَّا الْفَجْرُ فَهَذَا الْحِينُ ثُمَّ وَقَفَ فَلَمَّا أَسْفَرَ قَالَ إِنْ أَصَابَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ دَفَعَ الْآنَ قَالَ فَمَا فَرَغَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ حَتَّى دَفَعَ عُثْمَانُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4293
It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Yazecd said: i moved on from 'Arafah with Ibn Mas'ood and when he came to Muzdalifah, he prayed Maghrib and 'Isha', each one with an adhan and iqamah, and he ate dinner in between. Then he slept, then when someone said that dawn had broken, he prayed Fajr, Then he said: Verily the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Verily these two prayers are delayed from their (usual) time in this place; as for Maghrib, the people do not come here until it is dark, and as for Fajr, this is its time." Then he halted and when it got light he said: If Ameer al- Mu'mineen wants to do the right thing he will move on now. Hardly had 'Abdullah finished speaking but 'Uthman moved on.
