حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَطِيَّةَ ، قَالَ : " دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَا وَ مَسْرُوقٌ ، فَقُلْنَا : يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَحَدُهُمَا يُعَجِّلُ الْإِفْطَارَ وَيُعَجِّلُ الصَّلَاةَ ، وَالْآخَرُ يُؤَخِّرُ الْإِفْطَارَ وَيُؤَخِّرُ الصَّلَاةَ ، قَالَتْ : أَيُّهُمَا يُعَجِّلُ الْإِفْطَارَ وَيُعَجِّلُ الصَّلَاةَ ؟ قُلْنَا : عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، قَالَتْ : كَذَلِكَ كَانَ يَصْنَعُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Narrated Abu Atiyyah: I and Masruq entered upon Aishah and we said: Mother of believers, there are two persons from the Companions of the Muhammad ﷺ. One of them hastens to break the fast and hastens to pray while the other delays to break the fast and delays praying. She asked: Which of them hastens to break the fast and hasten to pray ? We replied: Abdullah (bin Masud). She said: Thus did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ In the best of generations, the actions of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) were also measured against the statements and actions of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), because the absolute proof is the blessed person of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
➋ To break the fast (iftar) and to perform the Maghrib prayer at its earliest time is legislated and Sunnah.
➌ The Companion who delayed somewhat, Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari (radi Allahu anhu), perhaps did so out of caution, but now, after the advent of prayer time calendars, there is no justification for delay as a precaution.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: For us, the conduct and way of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) alone is the best example. And Ibn Mas'ud (radi Allahu anhu) is also a Muslim jurist (faqih) who, in every respect, used to follow and emulate the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), as has been mentioned among his virtues.

1:
Apparently, by this is meant the Maghrib (sunset) prayer, and it can also be interpreted in a general sense; in that case, Maghrib will also be included among them.
2:
The first person, that is, Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (radi Allahu anhu), adhered to strictness and the Sunnah, while the second person, that is, Abu Musa al-Ash'ari, acted upon permissibility and concession.
