Chapter 6 · The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayerحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفُضَيْلُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ: نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ} [البقرة: 238] وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، فَقَرَأْنَاهَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ نَسَخَهَا اللهُ، فَنَزَلَتْ: {حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى} [البقرة: 238]، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ كَانَ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ شَقِيقِ لَهُ: هِيَ إِذَنْ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ، فَقَالَ الْبَرَاءِ: قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكَ كَيْفَ نَزَلَتْ، وَكَيْفَ نَسَخَهَا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.

The Arabic text and the translations come from our previous collection: English from hadithapi.com, German and Turkish machine-translated (Gemini) and unreviewed. A new translation from the Arabic with the chain of narration will follow.
This verse was revealed (in this way): Guard the prayers and the 'Asr prayer. We recited it (in this very way) so long as Allah desired. Allah, then, abrogated it and it was revealed: Guard the prayers, and the middle prayer. A person who was sitting with Shaqiq (one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: Now it implies the 'Asr prayer. Upon this al-Bara' رضی اللہ عنہ said: I have already informed you how this (verse) was revealed and how Allah abrogated it, and Allah knows best.
