Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that a man came with his two water-carrying camels when part of the night had passed. Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) was leading the Maghrib prayer. He left his camels and turned towards Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) to pray with him. Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) began Surah al-Baqarah and Surah al-Nisa'. The man went away, and news reached him that Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) had spoken against him. Then he came and complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Mu'adh! Are you spreading trial?" He said it three times. "If only you had recited these surahs: 'Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High' [Surah al-A'la: 1], 'By the sun and its brightness' [Surah al-Shams: 1] and 'By the night when it covers' [Surah al-Layl: 1], for behind you pray the old, the needy and the weak."
