I said, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was seated, "We find in the Book of Allah that on Friday there is an hour during which no believing servant happens to be praying and asking Allah for something without Allah granting him his need."Abdullah said, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured to me, indicating, "Or part of an hour."So I said, "You have spoken the truth, or part of an hour."I asked, "Which hour is it?"He replied, "It is the last hour of the day."I said, "But that is not a time of prayer."He said, "On the contrary. When the believing servant prays and then sits waiting, with nothing keeping him there but the prayer, he is considered to be in prayer."
قلت ورسول الله ﷺ جالس: إنا لنجد في كتاب الله في يوم الجمعة ساعة لا يوافقها عبد مؤمن يصلي يسأل الله فيها شيئا إلا قضى له حاجته. قال عبد الله: فأشار إلي رسول الله ﷺ: أو بعض ساعة. فقلت: صدقت، أو بعض ساعة. قلت: أي ساعة هي؟ قال: هي آخر ساعات النهار. قلت: إنها ليست ساعة صلاة. قال: بلى. إن العبد المؤمن إذا صلى ثم جلس، لا يحبسه إلا الصلاة فهو في الصلاة.
Ibn Majah (1139) narrated it from Abdul-Rahman bin Ibrahim Dimashqi, who said, Ibn Abu Fudayk narrated to us, from Dahhak bin Uthman, from Abu Nadr, from Abu Salama, from Abdullah bin Salam, and he related it. Its chain is hasan, because of Dahhak bin Uthman, who is truthful (sadooq). Busiri said, "This is a sahih chain, its narrators being reliable according to the standard of sahih."Ahmad (23781) also narrated it, from Abdullah bin Harith, from Dahhak, with the same wording, in which it states, Abu Nadr said, Abu Salama said, I asked him, "Which hour is it?" He (meaning Abdullah bin Salam) said, "The last hours of the day." I said, "But that is not a time of prayer." He said to me, "Indeed it is, for the Muslim servant is in a state of prayer when he prays and then remains sitting in his place of prayer, kept there only by waiting for the next prayer."
