ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him said, "Gabriel led me in prayer at the house (1) two times (on two consecutive days). He prayed the noon prayer (2), the first time, when the shadow was the size of a shoe strap (the shortest shadow that could be observed). Then, he prayed the afternoon prayer (3) when everything was as long as its shadow. Then, he prayed the sunset prayer (4) when the sun set, the time when a fasting person breaks his [or her] fast. Then, he prayed the evening prayer (5) when the twilight disappeared. Then, he prayed the dawn prayer (6) when dawn broke, the time when food becomes prohibited for a fasting person. The second time, he prayed the noon prayer until the shadow of everything was equal to its length, the time at which he had prayed the afternoon prayer the day before (7). Then, he prayed the afternoon prayer when the shadow of everything was twice its length. Then, he prayed the sunset prayer at the same time as the day before. Then, he prayed the last evening prayer when one third of the night had passed. Then he prayed the dawn prayer when the earth shone with light. Then Gabriel turned to me and said, 'O Muhammad, thus was the timing (of prayer) for the prophets before you (8). The time [of each prayer] is between these two times (at which we prayed on each of the two days).'" Footnotes: (1) the sanctified house of God (al-Ka'bah) which is the most venerable structure in Islam, situated within in the Sanctified Mosque of Makkah. During prayer, Muslims face its direction, wherever they are in the world. (2) Second prescribed prayer of the day. (3) Third prescribed prayer of the day. (4) Fourth prescribed prayer of the day. (5) Fifth prescribed prayer of the day. (6) First prescribed prayer of the day. (7) He finished the noon prayer on the second day at the same time that he had started the afternoon prayer the first day. (8) i.e. The prayers of the prophets before you had extended times like these. ”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِى زِيَادٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَقِيتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِىَ بِى فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَقْرِئْ أُمَّتَكَ مِنِّى السَّلاَمَ وَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ طَيِّبَةُ التُّرْبَةِ عَذْبَةُ الْمَاءِ وَأَنَّهَا قِيعَانٌ وَأَنَّ غِرَاسَهَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ. قَالَ وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِى أَيُّوبَ. قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ.
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon Him, said, " I met Abraham the night I was taken for a journey by night (i.e. during the Night Journey and Ascension (1)) and he said, 'Muḥammad, send my greetings to your nation and tell them that Paradise is of fragrant soil and fresh water; and that it is flat clearings and that its seedlings are: Exalted is God, praise is to God, there is no god but Allāh (2), and God is the greatest.'"
(1) (al-isrā' and al-mi'rāj): the Night Journey of Prophet Muḥammad from Makkah to Jerusalem and his ascension to the seventh heaven. (2) Allāh is the Arabic name for the One and Only God, the same God shared by all monotheistic faiths (the name Allāh is often used by Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews). The name Allāh encompasses all the divine names and attributes of the Lord of the worlds, and hence has vast scopes of meaning. It is for this reason that Muslims consider it unique. Unlike the word 'God', Allāh in Arabic has no inflections of gender or number.
