حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَبَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ وَلاَ مَطَرٍ . قَالَ فَقِيلَ لاِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا أَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ أَرَادَ أَنْ لاَ يُحْرِجَ أُمَّتَهُ . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ رَوَاهُ جَابِرُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ شَقِيقٍ الْعُقَيْلِيُّ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَيْرُ هَذَا .
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
Allah'S Messenger Combined The Zuhr And Asr (Prayers), And The Maghrib And Isha (Prayers) In Al-Madinah, Without Being In A State Of Fear, Nor Due To Rain.
[1] Sa‘eed bin Jubair is the one narrating this from Ibn ‘Abbās.Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 187In-book reference : Book 2, Hadith 39English translation : Vol. 1, Book 2, Hadith 187
Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 187
This Hadith is about combining prayers. Ibn Abbas said that Allah's Messenger combined Zuhr with Asr, and Maghrib with Isha, in Al-Madinah without fear and without rain. When Ibn Abbas was asked what the Prophet intended by that, he said that he wanted not to place hardship on his Ummah. This exact wording is important for searches like combining prayers Hadith, Zuhr Asr together, and Maghrib Isha combined. The explanation should stay close to the report: it tells us that this combining happened, and it gives the reason reported by Ibn Abbas. It does not list every legal case by itself, so the reader should avoid using it without the wider scholarly discussion.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet combined Zuhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha in this narration.
- The report says it was not due to fear or rain.
- Ibn Abbas explained it as a way of avoiding hardship for the Ummah.
- The Hadith should be read carefully and not used to ignore prayer times casually.
