Sunan Abi Dawud 1933 (Book 11, Hadith 213) #22225
The Significance of Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of prayer and how it was practiced by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Ibn Umar.

Ash’ath bin Sulaim reported on the authority of his father "I proceeded along with Ibn 'Umar from 'Arafah towards Al Muzdalifah". He was not tiring of uttering "Allaah is most great" and "There is no god but Allaah", till we came to Al Muzdalifah. He uttered the adhan and the iqamah or ordered some person who called the adhan and the iqamah. He then led us the three rak’ahs of the sunset prayers and turned to us and said (Another) prayer. Thereafter he led us in the two rak’ahs of the night prayer. Then he called for his dinner. He (Ash’ath) said 'Ilaj bin 'Amr reported a tradition like that of my father on the authority of Ibn 'Umar. Ibn 'Umar was asked about it. He said "I prayed along with the Apostle of Allaah in a similar manner".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَقْبَلْتُ مَعَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ مِنْ عَرَفَاتٍ إِلَى الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَفْتُرُ مِنَ التَّكْبِيرِ وَالتَّهْلِيلِ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْمُزْدَلِفَةَ فَأَذَّنَ وَأَقَامَ أَوْ أَمَرَ إِنْسَانًا فَأَذَّنَ وَأَقَامَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا الْمَغْرِبَ ثَلاَثَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّى بِنَا الْعِشَاءَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِعَشَائِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي عِلاَجُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ فَقِيلَ لاِبْنِ عُمَرَ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ هَكَذَا

They would continuously recite "Allaah is most great" and "There is no god but Allaah" until they reached Al Muzdalifah, where they would perform adhan and iqamah before praying three rak’ahs for sunset prayers followed by two rak’ahs for night prayer.
