I heard `Urwa bin Az-Zubair talking to `Umar bin `Abdul `Aziz during the latter's Governorship (at
Medina), he said, "Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba delayed the `Asr prayer when he was the ruler of Al-Kufa.
On that, Abu Mas`ud. `Uqba bin `Amr Al-Ansari, the grand-father of Zaid bin Hasan, who was one of
the Badr warriors, came in and said, (to Al-Mughira), 'You know that Gabriel came down and offered
the prayer and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed five prescribed prayers, and Gabriel said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), "I
have been ordered to do so (i.e. offer these five prayers at these fixed stated hours of the day).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 58
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me along with AzZubair and Al-Miqdad and said, "Proceed till you reach a place
called Raudat-Khakh where there is a lady travelling in a howda on a camel. She has a letter. Take the
letter from her." So we set out, and our horses ran at full pace till we reached Raudat Khakh, and
behold, we saw the lady and said (to her), "Take out the letter!" She said, "I have no letter with me."
We said, "Either you take out the letter or we will strip you of your clothes." So she took the letter out
of her hair braid. We brought the letter to the Prophet (ﷺ) and behold, it was addressed by Hatib bin Abi
Balta'a to some pagans at Mecca, informing them of some of the affairs of the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "What is this, O Hatib?" Hatib replied, "Do not be hasty with me, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I am an
Ansari man and do not belong to them (Quraish infidels) while the emigrants who were with you had
their relatives who used to protect their families and properties at Mecca. So, to compensate for not
having blood relation with them.' I intended to do them some favor so that they might protect my
relatives (at Mecca), and I did not do this out of disbelief or an inclination to desert my religion." The
Prophet then said (to his companions), "He (Hatib) has told you the truth." `Umar said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Allow me to chop his head off?" The Apostle said, "He is one of those who witnessed
(fought in) the Battle of Badr, and what do you know, perhaps Allah looked upon the people of Badr
(Badr warriors) and said, 'Do what you want as I have forgiven you.' " (`Amr, a sub-narrator, said,:
This Verse was revealed about him (Hatib):
'O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies as friends or protectors.' (60.1)
Narrated `Ali: Sufyan was asked whether (the Verse): 'Take not My enemies and your enemies...' was revealed in connection with Hatib. Sufyan replied, "This occurs only in the narration of the people. I memorized the Hadith from `Amr, not overlooking even a single letter thereof, and I do not know of anybody who remembered it by heart other than myself."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 410
That Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn `Abbas told him that Ibn `Abbas, `Abdur-Rahman bin Azhar and
Al-Miswar bin Makhrama sent him to `Aisha saying, "Pay her our greetings and ask her about our
offering of the two-rak`at after `Asr Prayer, and tell her that we have been informed that you offer
these two rak`at while we have heard that the Prophet (ﷺ) had forbidden their offering." Ibn `Abbas said,
"I and `Umar used to beat the people for their offering them." Kuraib added, "I entered upon her and
delivered their message to her.' She said, 'Ask Um Salama.' So, I informed them (of `Aisha's answer)
and they sent me to Um Salama for the same purpose as they sent me to `Aisha. Um Salama replied, 'I
heard the Prophet (ﷺ) forbidding the offering of these two rak`at. Once the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the `Asr
prayer, and then came to me. And at that time some Ansari women from the Tribe of Banu Haram
were with me. Then (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) offered those two rak`at, and I sent my (lady) servant to him,
saying, 'Stand beside him and say (to him): Um Salama says, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Didn't I hear you
forbidding the offering of these two rak`at (after the `Asr prayer yet I see you offering them?' And if
he beckons to you with his hand, then wait behind.' So the lady slave did that and the Prophet (ﷺ)
beckoned her with his hand, and she stayed behind, and when the Prophet (ﷺ) finished his prayer, he said,
'O the daughter of Abu Umaiya (i.e. Um Salama), You were asking me about these two rak`at after the
`Asr prayer. In fact, some people from the tribe of `Abdul Qais came to me to embrace Islam and
busied me so much that I did not offer the two rak`at which were offered after Zuhr compulsory
prayer, and these two rak`at (you have seen me offering) make up for those."
