حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْقُرَظِيُّ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَهُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ أَمِيرٌ عَلَى الْكُوفَةِ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَعَبْدُ اللَّه
ِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ عَلَى بَيْتِ الْمَالِ إِذْ نَظَرَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِلَى الظِّلِّ فَرَآهُ قَدْرَ الشِّرَاكِ فَقَالَ إِنْ يُصِبْ صَاحِبُكُمْ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْرُجْ الْآنَ قَالَ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا فَرَغَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ حَتَّى خَرَجَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ يَقُولُ الصَّلَاةَ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Ya'qub, from his father, from Ibn Ishaq, from Muhammad ibn Ka'b al-Qurazi, from someone who narrated it to him — that he said: 'While we were with him on a Friday in the mosque of Kufa — with 'Ammar ibn Yasir as governor of Kufa for 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, and 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud in charge of the treasury — 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud looked at the shadow and saw it was [as thin as] a sandal strap. He said: "If your companion [the governor] follows the Sunnah of your Prophet (ﷺ), he will come out right now." By Allah, 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud had not finished speaking when 'Ammar ibn Yasir came out calling [the people to] prayer.'
