أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَطَّافُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ قَالَ أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ مِنْ مَکَّةَ فَلَمَّا کَانَ تِلْکَ اللَّيْلَةُ سَارَ بِنَا حَتَّی أَمْسَيْنَا فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ نَسِيَ الصَّلَاةَ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ الصَّلَاةَ فَسَکَتَ وَسَارَ حَتَّی کَادَ الشَّفَقُ أَنْ يَغِيبَ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّی وَغَابَ الشَّفَقُ فَصَلَّی الْعِشَائَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ هَکَذَا کُنَّا نَصْنَعُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا جَدَّ بِهِ السَّيْرُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 600
It was narrated that Nafi’ said: “We came back with Ibn ‘Umar from Makkah. One night he kept on travelling until evening came, and we thought that he had forgotten the prayer. We said to him: ‘The prayer!’ But he kept quiet and kept going until the twilight had almost disappeared, then he stopped and prayed, and when the twilight disappeared he prayed ‘Isha’. Then he turned to us and said: This is what we used to do with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم if he was in a hurry to travel.” (Sahih)
