أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الْکُوفِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ عَنْتَرَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ وَعَلْقَمَةَ قَالَا دَخَلْنَا عَلَی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ سَيَکُونُ أُمَرَائُ يَشْتَغِلُونَ عَنْ وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ فَصَلُّوا لِوَقْتِهَا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّی بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَقَالَ هَکَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 803
It was narrated that Al-Aswad and ‘Alqamah said: “We entered upon ‘Abdullah at midday and he said: ‘There will be rulers who would be distracted from praying on time, so pray on time.’ Then he stood up and prayed between him and I, and said: ‘This is what I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم do.” (Hasan)
