Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 1724

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى نَزَلَ دِمَشْقَ ، فَنَزَلَ عَلَى أَبِي كُلْثُومٍ الدَّوْسِيِّ ، فَتَذَاكَرُوا الصَّلَاةَ الْوُسْطَى فَقَالَ : اخْتَلَفْنَا كَمَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ وَنَحْنُ بِفِنَاءِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَفِينَا الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ أَبُو هَاشِمِ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ ، فَقَالَ : أَنَا أَعْلَمُ لَكُمْ ذَلِكَ ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَكَانَ جَرِيئًا عَلَيْهِ ، فَاسْتَأْذَنَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا ، فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّهَا صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ وَقَالَ : لَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَى أَبُو هَاشِمِ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - إِلَّا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ وَحَدِيثًا آخَرَ . قُلْتُ : وَرِجَالُهُ مُوَثَّقُونَ .
It is reported about Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came and stopped at Damascus, staying with Abu Kulthum al-Dawsi. Those present began discussing the middle prayer, and Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We too differed just as your opinions differ, while we were in the courtyard of the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Among us was a righteous man, Sayyiduna Abu Hashim bin Utbah bin Rabi'ah bin Abd Shams. He said: I will find out about this for you. Then he went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he used to speak to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) without formality. He asked permission to enter, went in to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then came out and told us: What is meant by it is the Asr prayer.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and al-Bazzar recorded it; he says: Regarding any hadith that Sayyiduna Abu Hashim bin Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we know only of this hadith and one other hadith. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Its narrators have been declared trustworthy.
