Narrated by Martad ibn Abdullah: Abu Ayyub came to us as a warrior, and Uqbah ibn Amir was in charge of Egypt at that time. He delayed the Maghrib prayer. Abu Ayyub stood up and said: "What is this prayer, O Uqbah?" He replied: "We were busy." Abu Ayyub said: "Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'My Ummah will remain in good condition—as long as they do not delay the Maghrib prayer until the stars begin to appear.'"
