1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ قَاعِداً عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَنَا وَحُمْرَانُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ حُمْرَانُ مَا تَقُولُ فِيمَا يَقُولُ زُرَارَةُ وَقَدْ خَالَفْتُهُ فِيهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) مَا هُوَ قَالَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ مَوَاقِيتَ الصَّلاَةِ كَانَتْ مُفَوَّضَةً إِلَى رَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) هُوَ الَّذِي وَضَعَهَا فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فَمَا تَقُولُ أَنْتَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَتَاهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الأوَّلِ بِالْوَقْتِ الأوَّلِ وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الأخِيرِ بِالْوَقْتِ الأخِيرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عَلَيْهِم الْسَّلام) مَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَقْتٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَا حُمْرَانُ إِنَّ زُرَارَةَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) إِنَّمَا جَاءَ مُشِيراً عَلَى رَسُولِ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَصَدَقَ زُرَارَةُ إِنَّمَا جَعَلَ الله ذَلِكَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَوَضَعَهُ وَأَشَارَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عَلَيْهِم الْسَّلام) بِهِ عَلَيْهِ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ’Udhaynah from Zurarah from who has said the following: “I once was sitting in the presence of abu ’Abd Allah , and Humran ibn ’A‘yan was also present. Humran asked him (the Imam), ‘What do you say about the words of Zurarah with which I do not agree?’ Abu ‘Abd Allah , asked, ‘What are they?’ Humran said, ‘Zurarah says that the time for Salah (prayer) was delegated to the Messenger of Allah. He was the one who determined them.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah , asked, ‘What do you (Humran) say about it?’ I (Humran) said, ‘ Jibril came to him (the Holy prophet) on the first day with the first time and on the last day with the last time. Jibril then said, ‘In between there are times for Salah (prayer).’ Abu ‘Abd Allah , then said, ‘O Humran, Zurarah says that Jibril came to the Messenger of Allah only to give him an indication. Zurarah is right. Allah left it to Muhammad, O Allah grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, who made the determination. Jibril provided him with an indication about it.’”
