Marthad bin Abdullah Yazni (may Allah have mercy on him) says that in our place, Egypt, the companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), came for jihad. At that time, Hazrat Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) had appointed our leader as Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him). One day, Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) delayed the Maghrib prayer. After finishing the prayer, Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) went to him and said, "O Uqbah! Did you see the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performing the Maghrib prayer like this? Did you not hear the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say that my Ummah will remain upon goodness as long as they do not delay the Maghrib prayer until the stars appear?"
