حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا أَبُو أَيُّوبَ - وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى مِصْرَ - فَأَخَّرَ الْمَغْرِبَ، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ: مَا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةُ يَا عُقْبَةُ؟ قَالَ: شُغِلْنَا. قَالَ: أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا بِي إِلَّا أَنْ يَظُنَّ النَّاسُ أَنَّكَ رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ هَذَا، أَمَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَا تَزَالُ أُمَّتِي بِخَيْرٍ - أَوْ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ - مَا لَمْ يُؤَخِّرُوا الْمَغْرِبَ إِلَى أَنْ تَشْتَبِكَ النُّجُومُ.

✧ Abu Ayyub came to us while 'Uqbah b. 'Amir was governor of Egypt. He delayed Maghrib, so Abu Ayyub stood up to him and said: What is this prayer, O 'Uqbah? He said: We were busy. He said: By Allah, I only fear that people will think you saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing this. Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'My community will remain in good—or upon the natural disposition—as long as they do not delay Maghrib until the stars become dense'?
