Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 4
وَ رَوَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جَنَاحٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِنَّ أَبَا اَلْخَطَّابِ قَدْ كَانَ أَفْسَدَ عَامَّةَ أَهْلِ اَلْكُوفَةِ وَ كَانُوا لاَ يُصَلُّونَ اَلْمَغْرِبَ حَتَّى يَغِيبَ اَلشَّفَقُ وَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ لِلْمُسَافِرِ وَ اَلْخَائِفِ وَ لِصَاحِبِ اَلْحَاجَةِ»
Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa narrated from Sa’id ibn Janah, from some of our companions:
(Imam) al-Ridha عليه السلام said: “Indeed, Abu al-Khattab had corrupted most of the people of Kufah, and they would not pray Maghrib until the twilight had disappeared. But that (delay) is only for the traveler, the one in fear, and the person with a need.”
