The Book of Jihad
(كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْتَظِرُ قَلِيلًا قَبْلَ بَدْءِ الْحَرْبِ)
(The Prophet, peace be upon him, would wait a little before starting the war)
Hadith 3932
وَعَن النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ الْقِتَالَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَانَ إِذَا لَمْ يُقَاتِلْ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ انْتَظَرَ حَتَّى تهب الْأَرْوَاح وتحضر الصَّلَاة. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
An-Nu‘man b. Muqarrin said he was present at fighting along with God’s Messenger, and when he did not fight at the beginning of the day he waited till the winds blew and the time of prayer came. Bukhari transmitted it.
