Hadith #49
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا الصَّلْتُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْعَوَّامِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِ
ثُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الصُّنَابِحِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَنْ تَزَالَ أُمَّتِي فِي مَسَكَةٍ مَا لَمْ يَعْمَلُوا بِثَلَاثٍ مَا لَمْ يُؤَخِّرُوا الْمَغْرِبَ بِانْتِظَارِ الْإِظْلَامِ مُضَاهَاةَ الْيَهُودِ وَمَا لَمْ يُؤَخِّرُوا الْفَجْرَ إِمْحَاقَ النُّجُومِ مُضَاهَاةَ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ وَمَا لَمْ يَكِلُوا الْجَنَائِزَ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا

Ibn Numayr narrated to us, al-Ṣalt — meaning Ibn al-ʿAwwām — narrated to us, he said: al-Ḥārith ibn Wahb narrated to me, from Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ṣunābiḥī رضي الله عنه who said: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'My ummah will continue to hold firm so long as they do not practice three things: so long as they do not delay the Maghrib prayer by waiting for complete darkness, imitating the Jews; and so long as they do not delay the Fajr prayer until the stars have faded, imitating the Christians; and so long as they do not leave funerals to only the families of the deceased.'
