حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَطَنٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ خَالِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَقِيتُ امْرَأَةً فِي حُشٍّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَصَبْتُ مِنْهَا مَا دُونَ الْجِمَاعِ فَنَزَلَتْ وَأَقِمْ الصَّلَاةَ طَرَفَيْ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4325
It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Mas'ood that a man said to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH): I met a woman in a garden in Madinah and did something with her that was less than intercourse. And the verse "And perform As Salat (Iqamatas-Salat), at the two ends of the day and in some hours of the night [i.e. the five compulsory Salat (prayers)]...." [Hood 11:114] was revealed.
