Sahih al-Bukhari 1174 (Book 19, Hadith 52) #1131
Praying Eight Rak'at Together

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) praying eight rak'at of Zuhr and 'Asr prayers together, and seven rak'at of Maghrib and 'Isha prayers together.

Narrated 'Amr: I heard Abu Ash-sha'tha' Jabir saying, "I heard Ibn 'Abbas saying, 'I offered with Allah's Messenger eight rak'at (of Zuhr and 'Asr prayers) together and seven rak'at (the Maghrib and the 'Isha' prayers) together'. " I said, "O Abu Ash-shatha! I think he must have prayed the Zuhr late and the 'Asr early; the 'Isha early and the Maghrib late". Abu Ash-sha'tha' said, "I also think so". .
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الشَّعْثَاءِ، جَابِرًا قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ثَمَانِيًا جَمِيعًا وَسَبْعًا جَمِيعًا‏.‏ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا الشَّعْثَاءِ أَظُنُّهُ أَخَّرَ الظُّهْرَ وَعَجَّلَ الْعَصْرَ وَعَجَّلَ الْعِشَاءَ وَأَخَّرَ الْمَغْرِبَ‏.‏ قَالَ وَأَنَا أَظُنُّهُ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray on time without delay or procrastination
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's prayer habits. It states that he would pray eight rak'at of Zuhr and 'Asr prayers together, as well as seven rak'at of Maghrib and 'Isha prayers together. This shows us that it is permissible to combine two different prayer times into one session if needed. It also teaches us the importance of punctuality in our religious duties; we should strive to perform our daily obligations on time without delay or procrastination. Additionally, this hadith encourages us to be mindful when making assumptions about others; even though Ibn Abbas was unsure whether the Prophet prayed late or early for each prayer time, he still chose not to make any assumptions but rather asked Abu Ash-shatha’ for clarification instead.
