18 - The Call to Prayer for One Who Combines Two Prayers at the Time of the First of Them

655 - Ibrahim ibn Harun informed us, saying: Hatim ibn Isma'il narrated to us, saying: Ja'far ibn Muhammad informed us, from his father, that Jabir ibn 'Abdullah said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, traveled until he came to 'Arafah, and he found that the dome had been pitched for him at Namirah. He dismounted there until, when the sun had passed its zenith, he ordered for al-Qaswa' (his she-camel) to be saddled.

============================================

And al-Bukhari (632), and Muslim (697): (23) and (24), and Abu Dawud (1062), and Ibn Hibban (2080) via the chain of 'Ubaydullah al-'Umari, and Ibn Hibban (2076) via the chain of Musa ibn 'Uqbah, all three of them from Nafi', from him (Ibn 'Umar).

In the narration of 'Ubaydullah: Ibn 'Umar gave the call to prayer on a cold night at Dajnan, then said: "Pray in your dwellings." Then he informed us that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to command a mu'adhdhin to give the call to prayer, then he would say after it: "Indeed, pray in your dwellings" on a cold or rainy night during travel. (The wording of al-Bukhari), and in it is the restriction of that to travel, and see "al-Fath" 2/113.

Note: In this place of copy (M), there is a difference in the order of the hadiths from the other copies, and in it and in (R) at this place there is an addition of four hadiths for which he gave the heading: Chapter: The Excuse for Staying Behind (and it would have been better to have recorded them in the body of the book, and we missed that):

1 - Suwayd ibn Nasr informed us, 'Abdullah informed us, from Ma'mar, from Qatadah, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When the evening meal is served and the call to prayer is given, begin with the evening meal."

2 - Yahya ibn Habib ibn 'Arabi narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, from Hisham, from his father, from 'A'ishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When the evening meal is served and the prayer is established, begin with the evening meal."

3 - Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Mughirah informed us, 'Uthman ibn Sa'id narrated to us, from Shu'ayb, from al-Zuhri, Ja'far ibn 'Amr ibn Umayyah informed me, that his father informed him that he saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, cutting from the shoulder of a sheep in his hand, and he was called to prayer, so he threw it and the knife down, then stood and prayed without performing ablution.

4 - Yahya ibn Habib ibn 'Arabi narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, from Hisham, from his father, that 'Abdullah ibn al-Arqam used to travel, and people would accompany him following his example, and he would give the call to prayer for his companions and lead them in prayer. One day he made the second call to prayer, then said: "Let one of you lead you in prayer, for I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'When one of you wants to go to the lavatory and the prayer is established, let him begin with the lavatory.'" And these are in the author's "al-Sunan al-Kubra" (1770-1773), Dar al-Ta'sil edition, and the third of them is in the Risalah edition (6734).
