Abu Atiyyah says: I and Masruq presented ourselves before Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: O Mother of the Believers! Among the companions, there are two men; one of them breaks his fast early and performs the prayer early, and the other delays breaking his fast and also delays the prayer. She asked: Who among them is the one who hastens in breaking the fast and performing the prayer? We said: He is Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). She said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do the same. The other (the one who delays) is Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him).
