Bayhaqi 2156 — The middle prayer, and the view of those who said

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ ثنا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ ثنا أَبُو عَقِيلٍ زُهْرَةُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَاعِدًا وَعُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ يَقُولُ: " صَلَاةُ الْوُسْطَى هِيَ صَلَاةُ الظُّهْرِ " قَالَ: فَمَرَّ عَلَيْنَا ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ: أَرْسِلُوا إِلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَسَلُوهُ فَأَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْهِ غُلَامًا فَسَأَلَهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ الرَّسُولُ فَقَالَ: هِيَ صَلَاةُ الظُّهْرِ فَشَكَكْنَا فِي قَوْلِ الْغُلَامِ فَقُمْنَا جَمِيعًا فَذَهَبْنَا إِلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَسَأَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ: هِيَ الظُّهْرُ ".
Sa'id bin al-Musayyab (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I, Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) and Ibrahim bin Talhah (may Allah have mercy on him) were sitting together. I said that Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that the middle prayer means the Zuhr prayer. He then said: Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by us, and Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Send someone to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask him about this. So we sent a boy to him; he asked him, came back and said: It is the Zuhr prayer. We were not convinced by what the boy said, so we all got up and went to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him, and he said: It is the Zuhr prayer.
