A man says: We were in the mosque of Kufa on Friday. Sayyiduna ‘Umar ibn Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) had appointed Sayyiduna ‘Ammar ibn Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) as the governor of Kufa and Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) as the supervisor of the treasury. Suddenly, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him), seeing a shadow the size of a strap, said: If your governor is a follower of the Sunnah of the Prophet, he will come right now. The narrator says: By Allah, Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) had not yet completed his statement when Sayyiduna ‘Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and said: Pray (perform the prayer).
