أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ شَغَلَنَا الْمُشْرِکُونَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ حَتَّی غَرَبَتْ الشَّمْسُ وَذَلِکَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِي الْقِتَالِ مَا نَزَلَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَکَفَی اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْقِتَالَ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَالًا فَأَقَامَ لِصَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ فَصَلَّاهَا کَمَا کَانَ يُصَلِّيهَا لِوَقْتِهَا ثُمَّ أَقَامَ لِلْعَصْرِ فَصَلَّاهَا کَمَا کَانَ يُصَلِّيهَا فِي وَقْتِهَا ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ لِلْمَغْرِبِ فَصَلَّاهَا کَمَا کَانَ يُصَلِّيهَا فِي وَقْتِهَا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 665
It was narrated from ‘Abdur Rahman bin Abi Saeed that his father said: “On the day of Al Khandaq the idolators kept us from praying uhr until the sun had gone down; that was before the revelation concerning fighting was revealed. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: Allah sufficed for the believers in the fighting.. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم commanded Bilal to say the Iqamah for uhr prayer, and he offered it just as he used to offer it on time. Then he said the Iqamah for ‘Asr and he offered it just as he used to offer it on time. Then he called the Adhan for Maghrib and offered it on time.” (Sahih)
