The reciter: Yahya ibn Yahya al-Tamimi informed us, saying: I read to Malik from Ibn Shihab that
Ibn Shihab reported: Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz one day deferred the prayer. 'Urwa b. Zubair came to him and informed him that one day as Mughira b. Shu'ba was in Kufa (as its governor), he deferred the prayer, Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari came to him and said: What is this, O Mughira? Did you know that it was Gabriel who came and said prayer and (then) the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said the prayer (along with him), then (Gabriel) prayed and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) also prayed, then (Gabriel) prayed and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) also prayed, then (Gabriel) prayed and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed (along with him). then Gabriel prayed and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) also prayed (along with him) and then said: This is how I have been ordered to do. 'Umar (b. 'Abd al-'Aziz) said. O 'Urwa be mindful of what you are saying that Gabriel (peace be upon him) taught the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) the times of prayer.
عمر بن عبد العزيز أخر الصلاة يوما فدخل عليه عروة بن الزبير فأخبره: أن المغيرة بن شعبة أخر الصلاة يوما وهو بالكوفة فدخل عليه أبو مسعود الأنصاري فقال ما هذا يا مغيرة أليس قد علمت أن جبريل نزل فصلى فصلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثم صلى فصلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثم صلى فصلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثم صلى فصلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثم صلى فصلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثم قال بهذا أمرت فقال عمر لعروة انظر ما تحدث يا عروة أو إن جبريل عليه السلام هو أقام لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقت الصلاة؟ 'Urwah said: Yes, Bashir ibn Abu Mas'ud used to narrate this from his father.
