Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَنِي رِجَالٌ، مَرْضِيُّونَ فِيهِمْ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ مَرَّةً شَهِدَ عِنْدِي رِجَالٌ مَرْضِيُّونَ وَأَرْضَاهُمْ عِنْدِي عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَ صَلَاتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ وَبَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا شَهِدَ عِنْدِي رِجَالٌ مَرْضِيُّونَ‏.‏

‘Affan narrated to us; Hammam narrated to us; Qatadah narrated to us; Abu al-‘Aliyah narrated to us, from Ibn ‘Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: Men whose testimony was accepted narrated to me, among them ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him. ‘Affan once said: Men whose testimony was accepted testified before me, and the one I most approved of among them was ‘Umar: the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ‘There is no prayer after two prayers: after Fajr until the sun rises, and after ‘Asr until the sun sets.’ ‘Affan narrated to us; Aban narrated to us; Qatadah narrated to us, from Abu al-‘Aliyah, from Ibn ‘Abbas, with a similar report: ‘Men whose testimony was accepted testified before me.’
