Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فَأَخَّرَ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ مَرَّةً فَقَالَ لَهُ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَنِي بَشِيرُ بْنُ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ أَخَّرَ الصَّلَاةَ مَرَّةً يَعْنِي الْعَصْرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو مَسْعُودٍ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ يَا مُغِيرَةُ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام نَزَلَ ف
َصَلَّى وَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَلَّى النَّاسُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَلَّى النَّاسُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى عَدَّ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ انْظُرْ مَا تَقُولُ يَا عُرْوَةُ أَوَإِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ هُوَ سَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ كَذَلِكَ حَدَّثَنِي بَشِيرُ بْنُ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ فَمَا زَالَ عُمَرُ يَتَعَلَّمُ وَقْتَ الصَّلَاةِ بِعَلَامَةٍ حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا

English Translation
ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us, Maʿmar narrated to us, from al-Zuhrī, who said: We were with ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz when he once delayed the ʿAṣr prayer. ʿUrwah ibn al-Zubayr said to him: Bashīr ibn Abī Masʿūd al-Anṣārī narrated to me that al-Mughīrah ibn Shuʿbah once delayed the prayer — meaning ʿAṣr. So Abū Masʿūd said to him: "By Allāh, O Mughīrah, you know well that Jibrīl عليه السلام descended and prayed, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed, and the people prayed with him. Then he descended again and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ prayed, and the people prayed with him" — until he counted five prayers. ʿUmar said to him: "Be careful about what you are saying, O ʿUrwah! Was it indeed Jibrīl who established the prayer times?" ʿUrwah said: "That is what Bashīr ibn Abī Masʿūd narrated to me." And ʿUmar continued to learn the prayer times by landmarks until he departed from this world.
