حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، ثنا وَكِيعٌ ، وَجَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِوَكِيعٍ ، عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : " اسْتُصْرِخَ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ وَهُوَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَسَارَ حَتَّى إِذَا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ ، قِيلَ لَهُ : الصَّلاةُ ، فَسَارَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَادَ يَغِيبُ الشَّفَقُ نزل فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ ، ثُمَّ انْتَظَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا غَابَ الشَّفَقُ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا نَابَتْهُ حَاجَةٌ صَنَعَ هَكَذَا " .
Nafi’ reports: Abdullah ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) received news of his wife Safiyyah’s illness while he was on a journey. He increased his pace, and when the sun had set, he was asked to stop for prayer, but he continued walking. When the twilight was about to disappear, he halted and performed the Maghrib prayer. Then he waited until the twilight had disappeared, and then he performed the ‘Isha prayer. Then he told us: Whenever the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had something important to do, he would do likewise.
