أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي ثُبَيْتٍ الرَّاسِبِيُّ وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ نَهَى النِّسَاءَ أَنْ يَبِتْنَ عَنِ الْعِشَاءِ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَحِضْنَ يُرِيدُ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ
English Translation
Ibn Abbas narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) combined Dhuhr and Asr, and Maghrib and Isha, in Madinah without being in a state of fear or rain." He was asked: "Why did he do that?" He said: "So that his ummah would not be burdened."
