أَخْبَرَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَکَرِيَّا بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ أَنَّ أَبَا الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَکِّيَّ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ أَنَّ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ کُنَّا فِي غَزْوَةٍ فَحَبَسَنَا الْمُشْرِکُونَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَائِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ الْمُشْرِکُونَ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُنَادِيًا فَأَقَامَ لِصَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ فَصَلَّيْنَا وَأَقَامَ لِصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ فَصَلَّيْنَا وَأَقَامَ لِصَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ فَصَلَّيْنَا وَأَقَامَ لِصَلَاةِ الْعِشَائِ فَصَلَّيْنَا ثُمَّ طَافَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَا عَلَی الْأَرْضِ عِصَابَةٌ يَذْکُرُونَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ غَيْرُکُمْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 667
‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud said: “We were fighting a battle and the idolators kept us from praying uhr, ‘Asr, Maghrib and ‘Isha’. When the idolators went away, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم commanded a caller to say Iqamah for Zuhr prayer, and we prayed. Then he said the Iqamah for ‘Asr, and we prayed, and he said the Iqamah for Maghrib and we prayed, and he said the Iqamah for ‘Isha’ and we prayed. Then he went around among us and said: ‘There is no group on Earth who is remembering Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, except you.” (Da’If).
