(الجُلُوسُ انْتِظَارًا لِلصَّلَاةِ كَأَنَّهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ)
(Sitting While Waiting for Prayer is Like Being in Prayer)
Hadith 617
وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الصَّلَوَاتِ نَحْوًا مِنْ صَلَاتِكُمْ وَكَانَ يُؤَخِّرُ الْعَتَمَةَ بَعْدَ صَلَاتكُمْ شَيْئا وَكَانَ يخف الصَّلَاة. رَوَاهُ مُسلم
Jabir b. Samura said, “God’s Messenger used to observe the times of prayer more or less as you do, but he would delay the prayer after nightfall to a little after the time you observe it, and he would shorten the prayer.” Muslim transmitted it.
