حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ : نَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ : نَا خَارِجَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنُ بْنُ بَشِيرِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، وَرَجُلٌ آخَرُ مِنَ الْعَلَوِيِّينَ عَلَى جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ أَنْتُمَا ؟ فَانْتَسَبَ لَهُ الْعَلَوِيَّانِ ، فَعَرَفَهُمَا وَانْتَسَبْتُ لَهُ ، فَقَالَ : مَا أَعْرِفُكَ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْنِي فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَعْرِفُنِي ، فَقَالَ : مَا يُغْنِي عَنْكَ مَعْرِفَةُ جَابِرٍ قُلْتُ : صَلِّ بِنَا كَمَا رَأَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي ، فَقَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ إِذَا كَانَ الظِّلُّ مِثْلَ الشِّرَاكِ ، وَالْعَصْرَ إِذَا كَانَ الظِّلُّ مِثْلَهُ وَقَدْرَ الشِّرَاكِ ، وَيُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ إِذَا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ ، وَيُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ إِذَا غَابَ الشَّفَقُ ، وَيُصَلِّي الْفَجْرَ إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى مِنَ الْغَدِ الظُّهْرَ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَهُ ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ حِينَ كَانَ ظِلُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِثْلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ مَعَ ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرِ I " .
Bashir bin Sallam (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I, Muhammad bin Ali (may Allah have mercy on him) and another man from the Alawis went to Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both). He asked: "Who are you two?" The two Alawis told him their lineage and he recognised them. Then I introduced myself, and he said: "I do not know you." I said: "If you do not know me, then surely Allah knows me." He said: "What benefit would Jabir's knowing you bring you?" I said: "Lead us in prayer the way you saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) pray." Then he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray Zuhr when the shadow was like the strap of a sandal, and Asr when the shadow was equal to it (the object) plus the measure of the strap; he would pray Maghrib when the sun had set, Isha when the twilight had disappeared, and Fajr when the dawn had broken. Then on the next day he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed Zuhr when the shadow of everything was equal to it, then he prayed Asr when the shadow of everything was twice its length, then he prayed Maghrib when the sun set, then he prayed Isha with the last third of the night."
