"عَنْ سَعِيد بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ: أَنَّ أَبَا الصهْبَاءِ سَألَ عَلِىَّ بْنَ أَبِى طَالِبٍ عَنْ يَوْمٍ الحج الأكبَرِ؟ وَعَنِ الصَّلاَةِ الوُسْطَى؟ وَعَنْ إِدْبَارِ النُّجُوم؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا الصَّهْبَاءِ، بَعَثَ النَّبِي ﷺ أَبَا بَكْر يُقِيمُ لِلناسِ الحَجَّ قَبْلَ حَجَّةِ الوَدَاع بِسَنَةٍ، وَأَرْسَلَنِى مَعَهُ بِأرْبَعِينَ آيَة مِنْ بَرَاءَةَ، فَأَقْبَلنَا نَسِيرُ حَتَّى جِئْنَا عَرَفَةَ، فَقَامَ أبُو بَكْرٍ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ عَلَى رَاحلَتِهِ، فَحَضَّ عَلَى الحَجّ، وَأَمَرَ بمَواقِيتهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: قُمْ يَا علِىُّ فَأَدِّ رِسَالَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقُمْتُ فَاقْتَرَأتُ أرْبَعِينَ آَيَةً مِنْ بَرَاءَةَ، ثُمَّ صَدَرْتُ إِلَى مِنى فَرَمَيْتُ الجَمْرَةَ، وَنَحَرتُ البَدنَةَ، وَحَلَقْتُ رَأسِى، وَطُفْتُ أَتَتَبَّعُ الفَسَاطِيطَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الجَمع لَمْ يَشْهَدُوا المَسْجِدَ كُلُّهُمْ، وَسَألتنِى عَنْ إِدْبَارِ النُّجُوم؛ فَهُمَا رَكْعَتَا الفَجْرِ، وَسَألتنِى عَنْ صَلاَةِ الوُسْطَى؛ وَهِىَ صَلاَةُ العَصْرِ الَّتِى فُتِنَ بِهَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ".

"From Sa'id ibn Jubayr: Abu al-Sahba' asked 'Ali ibn Abi Talib about the Greater Day of Hajj, the Middle Prayer, and the receding of the stars. He said: Yes, O Abu al-Sahba'. The Prophet ﷺ sent Abu Bakr to lead the people in Hajj one year before the Farewell Pilgrimage, and he sent me with him with forty verses of Bara'ah. We set out traveling until we came to 'Arafah. Abu Bakr stood and delivered a sermon to the people on his mount, urging them to perform Hajj and explaining its appointed times. Then he said: Stand up, O 'Ali, and deliver the message of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So I stood and recited forty verses of Bara'ah. Then I departed to Mina, threw the pebbles at the jamrah, sacrificed the camel, shaved my head, and went around seeking out the tents, reciting to them. I knew that most of the people of the gathering had not witnessed the mosque. You asked me about the receding of the stars; they are the two rak'ahs of Fajr. You asked me about the Middle Prayer; it is the 'Asr prayer, over which Sulayman ibn Dawud (peace be upon them both) was tested."
