Narrated Muadh ibn Jabal: On the expedition to Tabuk if the sun had passed the meridian before the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم moved off, he combined the noon and the afternoon prayers; but if he moved off before the sun had passed the meridian, he delayed the noon prayer till he halted for the afternoon prayer. He acted similarly for the sunset prayer; if the sun set before he moved off, he combined the sunset and the night prayers, but if he moved off before sunset, he delayed the sunset prayer till he halted for the night prayer and then combined them. Abu Dawud said: Hisham bin Urwah narrated this tradition from Husain bin Abdullah, from Kuraib on the authority of Ibn Abbas from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم like the tradition narrated by Mufaddal and al-Laith.
