Hadith 13

(The books) ‘Al-Ihtijaj’, (and) ‘Al Ghayba’ of the Sheikh Al Tusi – It is reported by Muhammad Bin Yaqoub, raising it from Al Zuhry who said, ‘I south this matter with a hard search until a lot of money of mine went regarding it. I went to Al-Amry and served him and adhered with him and asked him about Master-ajfj of the Time after that. He said to me, ‘There is no arrival to that’. I yielded. He said to me, ‘Come early morning for the breakfast. I arrived and he welcomed me, and there was a youth with him from the most handsome face of the people and their most pleasant of aromas, in the form of traders, and in his-ajfj sleeve was something like a marking of the traders. When I looked at him, I went near Al-Amry. He-ajfj gestured to me, so I turned towards him-ajfj and asked him-ajfj. He-ajfj answered me about all what I wanted. Then he-ajfj went to enter the room, and it was from the rooms we (normally) pay any attention to it. Al-Amry said, ‘Al-Amry said, ‘When you want to ask, ask, for you will not see him-ajfj afterward this’. I went to ask, but he-ajfj did not listen and entered the room, and did not speak to me more than saying: ‘Accursed! Accursed is the one who delays the ‘Isha’ until the stars cluster. Accursed! Accursed is the one who delays the early morning until the stars disappear! ’ And he-ajfj entered the room’’. [19]
Note: The word ‘Al-Isha’ is distorted (wrong), and the correct is ‘Al-Maghrib’, and that is because its timing is legislated as beginning from the fall of the redness to the fall of the twilight, leading to the clustering of the stars. So, the one who delays the ‘Maghrib’ Salat from the clustering of the stars would be opposing the Sunnah, just as the timing of the morning Salat is legislated as beginning from the dusk to the appearance of twilight leading to the disappearance of the stars. So, the one who delays it to the disappearance of the stars would have opposed the Sunnah.
