اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ ، عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنَّ النُّعْمَانَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُقَرِّنٍ ، قَالَ : شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا لَمْ يُقَاتِلْ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ أَخَّرَ الْقِتَالَ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ وَتَهُبَّ الرِّيَاحُ وَيَنْزِلَ النَّصْرُ .
Narrated An-Numan ibn Muqarrin: I was present at fighting along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he did not fight at the beginning of the day, he waited till the sun had passed the meridian, the winds blew, and help came down.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The time of the sun's decline is the time of the descent of Allah's help.
➋ It is recommended (mustahabb) to commence fighting at this time.
➌ Therefore, performing the Zuhr prayer at its earliest time is Sunnah.
➍ And it is preferable (rajih).
➎ It is also reported from the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) to have performed four units (rak‘ah) of voluntary prayer (nafl) at this time.
