حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ مَوْلَى مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ عَلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَهُوَ بِالْبَلَاطِ وَالْقَوْمُ يُصَلُّونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قُلْتُ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ مَعَ النَّاسِ أَوْ الْقَوْمِ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تُصَلُّوا صَلَاةً فِي يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4689
'Amr ibn Shu'ayb narrated: Sulaymaan the freed slave of Maymoonah told me: I came upon Ibn "Umar when he was in al-Balaat and the people were praying in the mosque. I said: What kept you from praying with the people? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "A prayer should not be offered twice in one day.”
