Sunan An Nasai 3611

أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي جَهْضَمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ:‏‏‏‏ أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَلَعَلَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي نَفْسِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ خَمْشًا:‏‏‏‏ هَذِهِ شَرٌّ مِنَ الْأُولَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَبْدٌ أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِأَمْرِهِ فَبَلَّغَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاللَّهِ مَا اخْتَصَّنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ دُونَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا بِثَلَاثَةٍ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُسْبِغَ الْوُضُوءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَنْ لَا نَأْكُلَ الصَّدَقَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا نُنْزِيَ الْحُمُرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ .

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abbas said: I was with Ibn 'Abbas and a man asked him: Did the Messenger of Allah recite during Zuhr and 'Asr? He said: No. He said: Perhaps he used to recite to himself? He said: May your face be scratched! This question is worse than the first one. The Messenger of Allah was a slave whose Lord commanded him and he conveyed (the message). By Allah, the Messenger of Allah did not specify anything for us above the people, except for three things: He commanded us to perform Wudu' properly, not to consume charity, and not to mate donkeys with horses.
