حديث جَابرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ بَعْدَمَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَجَعَلَ يَسُبُّ كُفَّارَ قُرَيْشٍ، قَالَ: يَا رَسولَ اللهِ مَا كِدْتُ أُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ حَتَّى كَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ تَغْرُبُ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: واللهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُهَا فَقُمْنَا إِلَى بُطْحَانَ، فَتوَضَّأَ للِصَّلَاةِ، وَتَوَضَّأْنَا لَهَا، فَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا الْمَغْرِبَ.
Jabir bin `Abdullah Narrated from:
On the day of Al-Khandaq (the battle of Trench), ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab رضى الله عنه came cursing the disbelievers of Quraish after the sun had set and said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! I could not offer the ‘Asr prayer till the sun had set.” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “By Allâh! I, too, have not offered the Salât (prayer).” So we turned toward Buthan, and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم performed ablution and we too performed ablution and offered the ‘Asr prayer after the sun had set, and then he offered the Maghrib prayer. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 570, Vol. 1)
