said, 'O Mughira! What is this? Don't you know that once Gabriel
came and offered the prayer (Fajr prayer) and Allah's Apostle prayed
too, then he prayed again (Zuhr prayer) and so did Allah's Apostle
and again he prayed ('Asr prayers and Allah's Apostle did the same;
again he prayed (Maghrib-prayer) and so did Allah's Apostle and
again prayed ('Isha prayer) and so did Allah's Apostle and (Gabriel)
said, 'I was ordered to do so (to demonstrate the prayers prescribed
to you)?'" 'Umar (bin 'Abdul 'AzTz) said to 'Urwa, "Be sure of what
you Say. Did Gabriel lead Allah's Apostle at the stated times of the
prayers?" 'Urwa replied, "Bashir bin Abi Mas'ud narrated like this
on the authority of his father." Urwa added, "Aisha told me that
Allah's Apostle used to pray 'Asr prayer when the sun-shine was
still inside her residence (during the early time of 'Asr)."

so that we may (carry out) take it from you and also invite to it
our people whom we have left behind (at home)." The Prophet said, "
I order you to do four things and forbid you from four things. (The
first four are as follows):
1. To believe in Allah. (And then he: explained it to them i.e.) to
testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and
(Muhammad) am Allah's Apostle

afflictions caused for a man by his wife, money, children and
neighbor are expiated by his prayers, fasting, charity and by
enjoining (what is good) and forbidding (what is evil).' 'Umar said,
'I did not mean that but I asked about that affliction which will
spread like the waves of the sea.' I (Hudhaifa) said, 'O leader of
the faithful believers! You need not be afraid of it as there is a
closed door between you and it.' 'Umar asked, Will the door be
broken or opened?' I replied, 'It will be broken.' 'Umar said, 'Then
it will never be closed again.' I was asked whether 'Umar knew that
door. I replied that he knew it as one knows that there will be
night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated a Hadith that was free
from any mis-statement" The subnarrator added that they deputed
Masruq to ask Hudhaifa (about the door). Hudhaifa said, "The door
was 'Umar himself."

followers."
