Combining two prayers on a rainy night

Nafi' said: On rainy nights our governors used to delay Maghrib and pray Isha early, before the twilight had disappeared. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) would pray with them in this way and saw no harm in it.

Ubaydullah said: I also saw al-Qasim and Salim praying with them on such a night.

Abd al-Rahman bin Harmalah said: I saw Sa'id bin al-Musayyib praying with the imams even when they combined Maghrib and Isha on a rainy night.

Hisham bin Urwah said: Aban bin Uthman used to combine the Maghrib and Isha prayers on a rainy night, and I saw Urwah bin al-Zubayr, Sa'id bin al-Musayyib, Abu Bakr bin Abd al-Rahman and Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman praying with him. None of them objected to this practice.

Abu Mawdud Abd al-Aziz bin Abi Sulayman said: I prayed Maghrib and Isha with Abu Bakr bin Muhammad, and he combined the two prayers on a rainy night.

Nafi' said: Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to pray with Marwan, and when Marwan combined Maghrib and Isha on a rainy night, he would still pray with him.
