حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ فِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَبَضَ أَرْوَاحَکُمْ حَيْثُ شَائَ وَرَدَّهَا حَيْثُ شَائَ قُمْ فَأَذِّنْ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقَامُوا فَتَطَهَّرُوا حَتَّی إِذَا ارْتَفَعَتْ الشَّمْسُ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّی بِالنَّاسِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 439
This tradition has also been reported by Abu Qatadah through a different chain of narrators. He said: Allah detained your should how He wished and returned when He wished. Stand up and call for prayer. They (the Companions) stood and performed ablution. When the sun rose high, the Prophet ﷺ stood and led the people in prayer.
