حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَی حَدَّثَنَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ لَيْثٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ کَرِهَ الصَّلَاةَ نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَقَالَ إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ تُسَجَّرُ إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد هُوَ مُرْسَلٌ مُجَاهِدٌ أَکْبَرُ مِنْ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ وَأَبُو الْخَلِيلِ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1083
Narrated Abu Qatadah: The Prophet ﷺ disapproved of the offering of prayer at the meridian except on Friday. The Hell-fire is kindled except on Friday. Abu Dawud said: This is a mursal tradition (i. e. the successor is narrating it directly from the Prophet). Mujahid is older than Abu al-Khalil, and Abu al-Khalil did not hear (any tradition from) Abu Qatadah.
