Imam Zuhri, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once we were with Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy on him. He delayed the Asr prayer, so Urwah bin Zubair, may Allah have mercy on him, came to him and said that once in Kufa, Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu’bah, may Allah be pleased with him, also delayed the Asr prayer. Then Hazrat Abu Mas’ud, may Allah be pleased with him, said to him,“What is this, Mughirah! Do you not know that once Hazrat Jibreel, peace be upon him, descended and he offered the prayer, and the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, also offered the prayer at that time? In this way, for all five prayers, he came and fixed the time. Then the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ‘I have been commanded to do this.’”Upon hearing this hadith, Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy on him, said,“Urwah! Speak thoughtfully, did Jibreel, peace be upon him, fix the time of the prayer?”Hazrat Urwah, may Allah have mercy on him, replied,“Yes! Basheer bin Abi Mas’ud narrated this hadith to me in this way.”
