Narrator:Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْعَتَكِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، اسْتُصْرِخَ عَلَى صَفِيَّةَ وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ فَسَارَ حَتَّى غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَبَدَتِ النُّجُومُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ

إِذَا عَجِلَ بِهِ أَمْرٌ فِي سَفَرٍ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ هَاتَيْنِ الصَّلاَتَيْنِ ‏.‏ فَسَارَ حَتَّى غَابَ الشَّفَقُ فَنَزَلَ فَجَمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا ‏.‏

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:

Ibn Umar was informed about the death of Safiyyah (the wife of the Prophet) when he was at Mecca. He proceeded till the sun set and the stars shined. He said: When the Prophet (ﷺ) was in a hurry about something while on a journey, he would combine both these prayers. He proceed till twilight had disappeared. He then combined both of them (the prayers).

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 1207) and Ahmad (No. 4874).

( اِسْتَصْرَخَ عَلَى صَفِيَّة ) : يُقَال اِسْتَصْرَخَ بِهِ إِذَا أَتَاهُ الصَّارِخ وَهُوَ الْمُصَوِّت , يُعْلِمهُ بِأَمْرٍ حَادِث يَسْتَعِين بِهِ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ يَنْعِي لَهُ مَيِّتًا. وَالِاسْتِصْرَاخ الِاسْتِغَاثَة كَذَا فِي النِّهَايَة. وَالْمُرَاد هَاهُنَا إِعْلَام أَمْر مَوْتهَا أَيْ أَنَّهُ أُخْبِرَ بِمَوْتِهَا ( فَنَزَلَ فَجَمَعَ بَيْنهمَا ) : قَالَ الْخَطَّابِيُّ : ظَاهِر اِسْم الْجَمْع عُرْفًا لَا يَقَع عَلَى مَنْ أَخَّرَ الظُّهْر حَتَّى صَلَّاهَا فِي آخِر وَقْتهَا وَعَجَّلَ الْعَصْر فَصَلَّاهَا فِي أَوَّل وَقْتهَا لِأَنَّ هَذَا قَدْ صَلَّى كُلّ صَلَاة مِنْهُمَا فِي وَقْتهَا الْخَاصّ مِنْهَا , وَإِنَّمَا الْجَمْع الْمَعْرُوف بَيْنهمَا أَنْ تَكُون الصَّلَاتَانِ مَعًا فِي وَقْت إِحْدَاه…
