The Times of Prayer

Muwatta Malik #13

كتاب وقوت الصلاة

حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي سُهَيْلِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَرَى طِنْفِسَةً لِعَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ تُطْرَحُ إِلَى جِدَارِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْغَرْبِيِّ فَإِذَا غَشِيَ الطِّنْفِسَةَ كُلَّهَا ظِلُّ الْجِدَارِ خَرَجَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَصَلَّى الْجُمُعَةَ - قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَالِدُ أَبِي سُهَيْلٍ - ثُمَّ نَرْجِعُ بَعْدَ صَلاَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَنَقِيلُ قَائِلَةَ الضَّحَاءِ ‏.‏

Yahya related to me from Malik from his uncle Abu Suhayl ibn
Malik that his father said, "I used to see a carpet belonging to Aqil
ibn Abi Talib spread out on the day of jumua up to the west wall of
the mosque. When the shadow of the wall covered the whole carpet, Umar
ibn al-Khattab would come out and pray the jumua prayer."


Malik, Abu Suhayl's father, added, "We would then return after the
jumua prayer and take our midday sleep."
