أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ صَاحِبِ الزِّيَادِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَتَسَحَّرُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا بَرَکَةٌ أَعْطَاکُمْ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهَا فَلَا تَدَعُوهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2168
It was narrated that Abu ‘Atiyyah said: “Masruq and I came to ‘Aishah, and Masruq said to her: ‘There are two men from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم both of whom are good; one of them delays the prayer and Iftar, and the other hastens the prayer and Iftar.’ ‘Aishah said: ‘Which of them is the one who hastens the prayer and Iftar?’ Masruq said: ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud.’ ‘Aishah said: ‘That is what the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم used to do.” (Sahih)
