(30) CHAPTER. Whoever did not offer the Salat (prayer) after the prescribed complusory (congregational) SaIat.
Narrated `Amr: I heard Abu Ash-sha'tha' Jabir saying, I heard Ibn `Abbas saying, 'I offered with Allah's Apostle 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. (See Hadith No. 518 Vol. 1).
