( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ الْمُقْرِئُ بِبَغْدَادَ، أَنْبَأَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَقِيهُ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ، وَعَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ قَالَا: ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَسَنٍ قَالَ:
كَانَ الْحَجَّاجُ يُؤَخِّرُ الصَّلَاةَ، فَسَأَلْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَالْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ، وَالْمَغْرِبَ إِذَا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ، وَالْعِشَاءَ إِذَا رَأَى فِي النَّاسِ قِلَّةً أَخَّرَ، وَإِذَا رَأَى فِيهِمْ كَثْرَةً عَجَّلَ وَالصُّبْحَ بِغَلَسٍ

Al-Ḥajjāj used to delay the prayer, so I asked Jābir b. ʿAbdillāh, and he said: The Prophet ﷺ used to pray the Ẓuhr when the sun had passed its zenith, and the ʿAṣr while the sun was still alive, and the Maghrib when the sun had set, and the ʿIshāʿ: if he saw the people were few, he delayed it, and if he saw they were many, he hastened it, and the Ṣubḥ in the darkness before dawn.
