Did you know that it was Gabriel (علیہ السلام) who came and said prayer and (then) the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the prayer (along with him), then ( Gabriel (علیہ السلام)) prayed and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ also prayed, then ( Gabriel (علیہ السلام)) prayed and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ also prayed, then ( Gabriel (علیہ السلام)) prayed and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed (along with him). then Gabriel (علیہ السلام) prayed and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ also prayed (along with him) and then said: This is how I have been ordered to do. Umar (b. Abdul Aziz) said. O Urwa be mindful of what you are saying that Gabriel (علیہ السلام) (peace be upon him) taught the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the times of prayer. Upon this Urwa said: This is how Bashir bin Abu Masud narrated on the authority of his father and (also said): Aisha?, the wife of the Apostle ﷺ . narrated it to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say the afternoon prayer, when the light of the sun was there in her apartment before it went out (of it).
