حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَرْثَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا أَبُو أَيُّوبَ غَازِيًا وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى مِصْرَ فَأَخَّرَ الْمَغْرِبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ مَا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةُ يَا عُقْبَةُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَزَالُ أُمَّتِي بِخَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ مَا لَمْ يُؤَخِّرُوا الْمَغْرِبَ إِلَى أَنْ تَشْتَبِكَ النُّجُومُ .

When Abu Ayyub رضی اللہ عنہ came upon us to fight the infidels and in those days Uqbah Ibn Amir رضی اللہ عنہ was the Governor of Egypt, he (Uqbah) delayed the sunset prayer. Hence Abu Ayyub stood and said: What kind of prayer is this, Uqbah? He said: We were busy. He said: Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say: My community will remain well, or he said: will remain on its natural condition, so long as it would not delay the evening prayer until the stars shine brightly just like a network.
