Salmah bin AI-Akwa narrated: “Allah’s Messenger prayed Maghrib when the sun had set and it (the sun) had hidden in the veil (of darkness).”
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي الْمَغْرِبَ إِذَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَتَوَارَتْ بِالْحِجَابِ ” . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَالصُّنَابِحِيِّ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَأَنَسٍ وَرَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ وَأَبِي أَيُّوبَ وَأُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ وَعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ . وَحَدِيثُ الْعَبَّاسِ قَدْ رُوِيَ مَوْقُوفًا عَنْهُ وَهُوَ أَصَحُّ . وَالصُّنَابِحِيُّ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ صَاحِبُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رضى الله عنه . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ اخْتَارُوا تَعْجِيلَ صَلاَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَكَرِهُوا تَأْخِيرَهَا حَتَّى قَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ لَيْسَ لِصَلاَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ إِلاَّ وَقْتٌ وَاحِدٌ وَذَهَبُوا إِلَى حَدِيثِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَيْثُ صَلَّى بِهِ جِبْرِيلُ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ .
