Chapter on the Recommendation to Separate Obligatory Prayer and Its Sunnah
Hadith 2111
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي، فَرَآهُ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ لَهُ: اجْلِسْ، فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِصَلَاتِهِمْ فَصْلٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَحْسَنَ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ))
A companion (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the Asr prayer. After that, a man immediately stood up and began to pray. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him and said: Sit down, the People of the Book were destroyed only because there was no interval in their prayers. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ibn Khattab has done well.
