Mawla Ibn Abbas, Ziyad bin Abi Ziyad says: Umar and I finished the Zuhr prayer, the governor of Madinah, Hisham bin Ismail, had led the prayer. Then we went to visit Amr bin Abdullah bin Abi Talha to inquire about his health, as he was ill. We did not sit with him, but standing, we asked about his condition, and then we returned from there and went to Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) at his house. His house was next to Abu Talha's house. While we were sitting with him, a girl came and said: Abu Hamzah! Pray the prayer. We said: May Allah have mercy on you, which prayer? She said: The Asr prayer. We said: We have just now prayed the Zuhr prayer. She said: You have neglected the prayer to the extent that you have forgotten it, or she said: The prayer has been so neglected that you have forgotten it. I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: I and the Hour have been sent like these two fingers (bringing them close together). Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, raised his index and middle fingers and gestured with them.
