Hadith 10767

عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ حُبِسْنَا يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ عَنِ الصَّلَوَاتِ حَتَّى كَانَ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ هَوِيًّا وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِي الْقِتَالِ مَا نَزَلَ فَلَمَّا كُفِينَا الْقِتَالَ وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {وَكَفَى اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْقِتَالَ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ قَوِيًّا عَزِيزًا} [الأحزاب: 25] أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَالًا فَأَقَامَ الظُّهْرَ فَصَلَّاهَا كَمَا يُصَلِّيهَا فِي وَقْتِهَا ثُمَّ أَقَامَ الْعَصْرَ فَصَلَّاهَا كَمَا يُصَلِّيهَا فِي وَقْتِهَا ثُمَّ أَقَامَ الْمَغْرِبَ فَصَلَّاهَا كَمَا يُصَلِّيهَا فِي وَقْتِهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of the Trench, we were prevented from performing the prayer until the time after Maghrib had passed. In another narration, it is stated: until a part of the night had passed. This was at a time when the detailed rulings regarding fighting had not yet been revealed. When Allah helped us in the battle, as Allah Almighty says: {وَکَفیٰ اللّٰہُ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ الْقِتَالَ وَکَانَ اللّٰہُ قَوِیًّا عَزِیْزًا۔} … Allah was sufficient for the believers in the battle, and Allah is All-Powerful, All-Dominant over all. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), so he gave the iqamah for Zuhr, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer in the same manner as he would in its original time. Then he gave the iqamah for Asr, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer in the same manner as he would at its time. Then he gave the iqamah for Maghrib, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the Maghrib prayer in the same manner as he would at its time.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Due to engagement with the enemy, these prayers were delayed beyond their prescribed times. The concession to perform prayers with such a delay has been abrogated; see the chapter of hadith number (1234).

There is no evidence found for the abrogation of this concession. If, due to fear, it is possible to perform the prayer in congregation and on time, then that is correct, and this is the original ruling. Otherwise, if due to intense fear more than one prayer is combined, then in light of the present hadith, its permissibility is also understood. (Abdullah Rafiq)
