Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 1820

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عُقْبَةَ أَخَّرَ الصَّلَاةَ يَوْمًا ، فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَثَوَّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ الْوَلِيدُ : مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ ؟ أَجَاءَكَ مِنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَمْرٌ ؟ فَنِعِمَّا فَعَلْتَ . أَمِ ابْتَدَعْتَ ؟ فَقَالَ : لَمْ يَأْتِنِي مِنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَمْرٌ وَلَمْ أَبْتَدِعْ ، وَلَكِنْ أَبَى اللَّهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - عَلَيْنَا وَرَسُولُهُ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنْ نَنْتَظِرَكَ بِصَلَاتِنَا وَأَنْتَ فِي حَاجَتِكَ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Abd al-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Mas'ud narrates about his father: Once al-Walid bin Uqbah delayed the prayer, so Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up, called the iqamah for the prayer, and led the people in prayer. Al-Walid sent a message to him: "Why did you do what you have done? Has an order come to you from the Commander of the Believers? If so, you have done well. Or have you introduced an innovation?" Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "No order has come to me from the Commander of the Believers, nor have I introduced an innovation. But Allah and His Messenger have not permitted us to keep waiting for you with our prayer while you are occupied with your affairs."
Ahmad and al-Tabarani in al-Kabir recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
