حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ، قَالَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تَزَالُ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ مَا لَمْ يُؤَخِّرُوا الْمَغْرِبَ حَتَّى تَشْتَبِكَ النُّجُومُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ بْن مَاجَةَ : سَمِعْت مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ يَحْيَى ، يَقُولُ : اضْطَرَبَ النَّاسُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ بِبَغْدَادَ ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الْأَعْيَنُ ، إِلَى الْعَوَّامِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ ، فَأَخْرَجَ إِلَيْنَا أَصْلَ أَبِيهِ ، فَإِذَا الْحَدِيثُ فِيهِ .
´It was narrated that 'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib said:` "The Messenger of Allah said: 'My Ummah will continue to adhere to the Fitrah so long as they do not delay the Maghrib until the stars have come out." (Hasan)Abu 'Abdullah bin Majah said: I heard Muhammed bin Yahya saying: 'The people in Baghdad were confused in narrating this Hadith. Abu Bakr Al-A'yan and I went to 'Awwam bin 'Abbad bin 'Awwam and he brought out to us the book of his father, and this Hadith was in it.'"

Commentary:
(1)
It is more virtuous to perform the prayer at its earliest time, especially in the case of the Maghrib prayer; one should avoid delaying it, because its time is shorter compared to the other prayers.
(2)
Delaying the prayers is also a kind of turning away from the religion.
(3)
Some of the brighter stars appear as soon as the sun sets, so the sighting of a few stars is not a sign of delay, unless a considerable number of stars have appeared.
(4) (تَشْتَبِكَ)
The word is derived from شَبْكَة (net).
The meaning is that it should not be such that the stars appear in such abundance that it seems as if a net of stars has been spread across the sky.
