حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أبِي ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ جَابِرٍ ، يَقُولُ : حَدَّثَنِي نَافِعٌ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَرْضًا لَهُ فَيَنْزِلُ مَنْزِلا ، فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ : إِنَّ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ لَمَّا بِهَا فَلا أَظُنُّ أَنْ تُدْرِكَهَا ، وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجَ مُسْرِعًا وَمَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشِ فَسِرْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَكَانَ عَهْدِي بِصَاحِبِي وَهُوَ مُحَافِظٌ عَلَى الصَّلاةِ ، فَقُلْتُ : " الصَّلاةُ ، فَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيَّ وَمَضَى كَمَا هُوَ ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ الشَّفَقِ نزل فَصَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ ، ثُمَّ أَقَامَ الصَّلاةَ وَقَدْ تَوَارَى الشَّفَقُ فَصَلَّى بِنَا الْعِشَاءَ ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا ، فَقَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا عَجَّلَ بِهِ أَمْرٌ صَنَعَ هَكَذَا " .
Nafi’ narrates: I was traveling with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), he was going towards his land. On the way, he stopped at a place. A man came to him and informed him: (his wife) Safiyyah bint Abu Ubaid is in a critical condition, and I think you will not reach her before (her passing). The narrator says: This was after Asr. The narrator says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) quickly set out from there, and a man from the Quraysh was also with him. We continued traveling until the sun set. I had a close relationship with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), and he used to perform prayers very regularly. I said: The time for prayer has come. He did not pay attention to me and continued walking as before, until when the last part of twilight remained, he stopped and performed the Maghrib prayer. Then he gave the Iqamah for prayer, and during this the twilight disappeared, so he led us in the Isha prayer. Then he turned to us and informed us: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) needed to hasten in a matter, he used to do likewise.
