وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْهُذَلِيِّ، قَالَ:
إِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ ؓ: كَتَبْتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، وَأَحَقُّ مَا تَعَاهَدَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ أَمْرَ دِينِهِمْ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي، حَفِظْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا حَفِظْتُ، وَنَسِيتُ مِنْهُ مَا نَسِيتُ، فَصَلِّ الظُّهْرَ بِالْهَجِيرِ، وَالْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ، وَالْمَغْرِبَ لِفِطْرِ الصَّائِمِ، وَالْعِشَاءَ مَا لَمْ تَخَفْ رُقَادَ النَّاسِ، وَالصُّبْحَ بِغَلَسٍ، وَأَطِلِ الْقِرَاءَةَ فِيهَا

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ wrote to Abu Musa al-Ash'ari ؓ: I am writing about the prayer, and the most worthy thing for Muslims to attend to is the matter of their religion. I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying; I retained from that what I have retained, and I forgot from it what I have forgotten. So pray the noon prayer in the midday heat, the afternoon prayer while the sun is alive, the sunset prayer at the breaking of the fast of the fasting person, the evening prayer as long as you do not fear people's sleeping, and the morning prayer in darkness, and lengthen the recitation in it.
