'Abdullah bin Shaqiq reported: Ibn 'Abbas one day addressed us in the afternoon (after the afternoon prayer) till the sun disappeared and the stars appeared, and the people began to say: Prayer, prayer. A person from Banu Tamim came there. He neither slackened nor turned away, but (continued crying): Prayer, prayer. Ibn 'Abbas said: May you be deprived of your mother, do you teach me Sunnah? And then he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) combining the noon and afternoon prayers and the sunset and 'Isha' prayers. 'Abdullah bin Shaqiq said: Some doubt was created in my mind about it. So I came to Abu Hurairah (RA) and asked him (about it) and he testified his assertion.
