أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ قَالَ جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَائِ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمَا سَجْدَةٌ صَلَّی الْمَغْرِبَ ثَلَاثَ رَکَعَاتٍ وَالْعِشَائَ رَکْعَتَيْنِ وَکَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ يَجْمَعُ کَذَلِکَ حَتَّی لَحِقَ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3036
It was narrated from Ibn Shihab that ‘Ubaidullah bin ‘Abdullah told him that his father said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم joined Maghrib and ‘Isha’ with no (voluntary) prayer in between them. He prayed Maghrib with three Rak’ahs and ‘Isha’ with two.” And ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar used to join them in like manner until he met Allah, the Mighty and Sublime. (Sahih)
