It is narrated from Rabi'ah bin Yazid that Qaza'ah narrated to him: I came to Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) while many people were around him seeking his favour. When the people had dispersed from him, I said: I will not ask you about what these people were asking you about; rather, I have come to ask you about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
He said: There is no good for you in that. I repeated my question, and he said: The Zuhr prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would begin, and one of us would go to Baqi' al-Gharqad, relieve himself, then come to his home and perform ablution, then come to the mosque, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would still be in the first rak'ah.
