حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ عَنْ مُرَّةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَبَسَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى اصْفَرَّتْ الشَّمْسُ أَوْ احْمَرَّتْ فَقَالَ شَغَلُونَا عَنْ الصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى مَلَأَ اللَّهُ أَجْوَافَهُمْ وَقُبُورَهُمْ نَارًا أَوْ حَشَا اللَّهُ أَجْوَافَهُمْ وَقُبُورَهُمْ نَارًا
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4365
It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: The mushrikeen kept the Messenger of Allah from praying 'Asr until the sun turned yellow or red. He said: "They distracted us from the middle prayer; may Allah fill their bellies and their graves with fire."
