Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَاصِمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ثُمَّ الظَّفَرِيُّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ أَشَدَّ تَعَجُّلًا لِصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنْ كَانَ أَبْعَدَ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ دَارًا مِنْ مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَأَبُو لُبَابَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُنْذِرِ أَخُو بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَأَبُو عَبْسِ بْنُ جَبْرٍ أَخُو بَنِي حَارِثَةَ دَارُ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ بِقُبَاءَ أَوْ دَارُ أَبِي عَبْسِ بْنِ جَبْرٍ فِي بَنِي حَارِثَةَ ثُمَّ إِنْ كَانَا لَيُصَلِّيَانِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ يَأْتِيَانِ قَوْمَهُمَا وَمَا صَلَّوْهَا لِتَبْكِيرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَا.
English Translation
Ya'qub told us: My father told us, from Ibn Ishaq, who said: Asim ibn Umar ibn Qatada al-Ansari, then al-Zafari, told me, from Anas ibn Malik al-Ansari, who said: I heard him say: No one was more eager to hasten the Asr prayer than the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him. Even the two men of the Ansar whose houses were farthest from the mosque of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him - Abu Lubaba ibn Abd al-Mundhir, brother of Banu Amr ibn Awf, and Abu Abs ibn Jabr, brother of Banu Haritha, whose house was in Quba, or the house of Abu Abs ibn Jabr in Banu Haritha - would pray Asr with the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, and then come to their people who had not yet prayed it, because of how early the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, performed it.
