He said, "Yahya ibn Yahya al-Laythi related to me from Malik ibn Anas from Ibn
Shihab that one day Umar ibn Abdal-Aziz delayed the prayer. Urwa ibn az-Zubayr
came and told him that al-Mughira ibn Shuba had delayed the prayer one day while
he was in Kufa and Abu Masud al- Ansari had come to him and said, 'What's this,
Mughira? Don't you know that the angel Jibril came down and prayed and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed.' Then he
prayed again, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, prayed. Then he prayed again, and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, prayed. Then he prayed again, and the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed. Then he prayed again,
and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed.
Then Jibril said, 'This is what you have been ordered to do.' Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz
said, 'Be sure of what you relate, Urwa. Was it definitely Jibril who
established the time of the prayer for the Messenger of Allah?' " Urwa said,
"That's how it was related to Bashir ibn Abi Masud al-Ansari by his father."
Original Version of The Hadith reported
قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى اللَّيْثِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ،
عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، أَخَّرَ الصَّلاَةَ
يَوْمًا فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ
الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ أَخَّرَ الصَّلاَةَ يَوْمًا وَهُوَ بِالْكُوفَةِ
فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا يَا مُغِيرَةُ
أَلَيْسَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ
صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ
صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ
اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ صَلَّى فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه
وسلم ثُمَّ قَالَ " بِهَذَا أُمِرْتُ " . فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ
الْعَزِيزِ اعْلَمْ مَا تُحَدِّثُ بِهِ يَا عُرْوَةُ أَوَ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ هُوَ
الَّذِي أَقَامَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقْتَ الصَّلاَةِ قَالَ
عُرْوَةُ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ بَشِيرُ بْنُ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ يُحَدِّثُ
عَنْ أَبِيهِ .
