Hadith 1515
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلَمْ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلَمْ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو النَّجَاشِيِّ ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَافِعَ بْنَ خَدِيجٍ ، يَقُولُ: " كُنَّا نُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ تُنْحَرُ الْجَزُورُ ، فَتُقْسَمُ عَشْرَ قِسَمٍ ، ثُمَّ تُطْبَخُ فَنَأْكُلُ لَحْمًا نَضِيجًا ، قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ " . " وَكُنَّا نُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فِينْصَرِفُ أَحَدُنَا وَإِنَّهُ لَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَوْقِعِ نَبْلِهِ " .
Sayyiduna Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We used to perform the ‘Asr prayer behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), then after that a camel would be sacrificed and divided into ten portions and then cooked. We would eat that cooked meat before the sun set. And in the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we used to perform the Maghrib prayer, and after finishing the prayer, a person could see the place where his arrow had fallen (i.e., there was still that much light at that time).
