حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحُرْفِيُّ بِبَغْدَادَ إِمْلَاءً فِي جَامِعِ الْمَنْصُورِ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانُ النَّجَّادُ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَعْرُوفٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ هَارُونَ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ الْقُرَشِيُّ أَنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُصَيْفَةَ حَدَّثَهُ عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَا تَزَالُ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ مَا صَلَّوِا الْمَغْرِبَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ النُّجُومِ ".
It is narrated from al-Sa'ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Ummah will always remain upon the (sound) fitrah as long as it offers the Maghrib prayer before the stars appear."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْفَرَّاءُ ثنا عَبَّادُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْأَحْنَفِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَا تَزَالُ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ مَا لَمْ يُؤَخِّرُوا الْمَغْرِبَ حَتَّى تَشْتَبِكَ النُّجُومُ " وَقَدْ رَوِّينَا فِيمَا مَضَى مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ وَاحْتَجَّ بَعْضُ مَنْ أَخَّرَ الْمَغْرِبَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Ummah will remain upon the (sound) fitrah as long as it does not delay Maghrib until the stars come out."
We have narrated earlier the hadith of Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), and it has also been narrated as the hadith of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). Some of those who delay Maghrib have taken as evidence the (following) narration:

بِمَا أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مِلْحَانَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنِي خَيْرُ بْنُ نُعَيْمٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي هُبَيْرَةَ السَّبَائِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي تَمِيمٍ الْجَيْشَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصْرَةَ الْغِفَارِيِّ قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَصْرَ بِالْمُخَمَّصِ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَضَيَّعُوهَا فَمَنْ حَافَظَ عَلَيْهَا أُوفِيَ أَجْرَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَهَا حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الشَّاهِدُ " قَالَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ: سَأَلْتُ اللَّيْثَ عَنِ الشَّاهِدِ فَقَالَ: هُوَ النَّجْمُ رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ وَلَا يَجُوزُ تَرْكُ الْأَحَادِيثِ الصَّحِيحَةِ الْمَشْهُورَةِ بِهَذَا وَإِنَّمَا الْمَقْصُودُ بِهَذَا نَفْيُ التَّطَوُّعِ بَعْدَهَا لَا بَيَانُ وَقْتِ الْمَغْرِبِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Basrah al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Asr prayer at al-Mukhammas. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This prayer (Asr) was presented to the nations before you too, but they neglected it; so whoever guards it will be given a double reward, and there is no prayer after it until the star al-shahid rises."
Ibn Bukayr said: I asked al-Layth about al-shahid and he said: It is a star.
It is not permissible to abandon the sahih and well-known hadiths because of this hadith. It is not meant to state the time of Maghrib; rather, what is intended here is the negation of voluntary prayers after Asr.
