Hadith 23744

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، وَبَهْزٌ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ ، قَالَ بَهْزٌ : قَالَ : أخبرنا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ ، عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ اسْتَعْمَلَ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ مُقَرِّنٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، قَالَ يَعْنِي : النُّعْمَانَ : وَلَكِنِّي شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَكَانَ " إِذَا لَمْ يُقَاتِلْ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ ، أَخَّرَ الْقِتَالَ حَتَّى تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ ، وَتَهُبَّ الرِّيَاحُ ، وَيَنْزِلَ النَّصْرُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Ma'qil bin Yasar (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed Hazrat Nu'man (may Allah be pleased with him) as an official... Then he mentioned the complete hadith. Hazrat Nu'man (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I participated in battles along with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). If the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not fight in the early part of the day, he would delay it until the sun had declined, the winds began to blow, and divine help descended.
