Zujajat al-Masabih 840Volume 1

English

From Jabir, Allah be pleased with him: On the day of the Battle of the Trench, Umar ibn al-Khattab said: "O Messenger of Allah, I nearly missed Asr until the sun was almost setting." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: "By Allah, I did not pray it." We then descended to Butahan, where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made wudu, and we made wudu as well. Then, he prayed Asr after the sun had set, and after that, he prayed Maghrib.
