Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5191 — Alqamah and al-Aswad (may Allah have mercy on)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَنْتَرَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ ، قَالَ : اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلْقَمَةُ ، وَالْأَسْوَدُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ ، وَقَدْ كَانَا أَطَالَا الْقُعُودَ عَلَى بَابِهِ حَتَّى انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجْتُ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ لَهُمَا ، فَأَذِنَ لَهُمَا ، فَقَالَ لَهُمَا : مَا لَكُمَا لَمْ تَدْخُلَا ؟ قَالَ : قَالَا : كُنَّا نَرَاكَ نَائِمًا ، قَالَ : مَا كُنْتُ أَشْتَهِي أَنْ تَظُنَّا بِي هَذَا ، إِنَّا كُنَّا نَعْدِلُ صَلَاةَ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ بِصَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ ، أَوْ نَحْوٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّكُمْ سَيَلِيكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ يُشْغَلُونَ عَنْ وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ ، فَصَلُّوهَا لِوَقْتِهَا ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - .
It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin al-Aswad (may Allah have mercy on him) that Alqamah and al-Aswad (may Allah have mercy on them both) sought permission to enter upon Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). The two of them had sat at his door for a long time, until midday came. The narrator says: I went out and sought permission for them, and he granted them permission. Then Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked them: "What prevented the two of you from coming in?" They said: "We thought that perhaps you were resting." He said: "I strongly dislike that you should think this of me. We used to regard the prayer and worship of this hour of the day as equal to the night prayer." Then he said: "Soon rulers will be placed over you who will delay the prayer from its (preferred) time, so perform the prayer at its proper time." Then he stood up and stood between the two of them (as imam) and led the prayer, and said: "This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) do it."
