أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ الْمَاجِشُونُ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ ، قالت : " صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَيْتِهِ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقَرَأَ الْمُرْسَلَاتِ مَا صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا صَلَاةً حَتَّى قُبِضَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
´It was narrated from Anas that Umm Al-Fadl bint Al-Harith said:` " The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led us in praying maghrib in his house and he recited Al-Mursalat, then after that, he never offered any prayer until he died."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
986. Commentary:
➊ This blessed hadith proves that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) led the Maghrib prayer as his last prayer during his lifetime, whereas in the Sahihayn, it is explicitly mentioned by Aisha (radi Allahu anha) regarding the Dhuhr prayer. See: [صحیح البخاري ، الأذان ، حدیث : 687 ، و صحیح مسلم ، الصلاة ، حدیث : 418]
There is no contradiction between these two narrations. The hadith in which Dhuhr prayer is mentioned means that he led the people in the mosque in the last Dhuhr prayer, and the aforementioned hadith means that due to illness, he led the women in the Maghrib prayer at home. See: [فتح الباري : 227/2 ، تحت حدیث : 687]
➋ The general practice in the Maghrib prayer is to recite short surahs, but if on some occasion a long recitation is done, there is nothing objectionable in it.
