The son of Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his father: Jibril (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the sun had declined (after this, the narrator mentioned the timings of the prayers and stated): Then Jibril (peace be upon him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the sun had set, and said:“Stand up and offer the prayer.”Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the prayer. Then, on the next day, he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time when the sun had set (i.e., the time for Maghrib prayer was the same), and said:“Stand up and offer the prayer.”So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the prayer.
