أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَهْضَمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَعَلَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي نَفْسِهِ؟ قَالَ خَمْشًا هَذِهِ شَرٌّ مِنَ الْأُولَى إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَبْدٌ أَمَرَهُ اللهُ بِأَمْرِهِ فَبَلَّغَهُ وَاللهِ مَا اخْتَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِشَيْءٍ دُونَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا بِثَلَاثَةٍ «أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نُسْبِغَ الْوُضُوءَ وَأَنْ لَا نَأْكُلَ الصَّدَقَةَ وَأَنْ لَا نُنْزِي الْحُمُرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ»

✧ I was with ʿAbd Allah b. ʿAbbas when a man asked him, “Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite in the Zuhr and ʿAsr prayers?” He said, “No.” The man said, “Perhaps he recited within himself?” He said, “May you be struck! This is worse than the first. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was a servant whom Allah commanded with His command, and he conveyed it. By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not single us out for anything to the exclusion of the people except three things: we were commanded to perform ablution thoroughly, not to consume charity, and not to mate donkeys with horses.”
