Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ أَهْلُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لَا يُفِيضُونَ مِنْ جَمْعٍ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا أَشْرِقْ ثَبِيرُ كَيْمَا نُغِيرُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَالَفَهُمْ فَكَانَ يَدْفَعُ مِنْ جَمْعٍ مِقْدَارَ صَلَاةِ الْمُسْفِرِينَ بِصَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ‏.‏

Translation

Waki‘ narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from ‘Amr ibn Maymun, from ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: ‘The people of the pre-Islamic era would not depart from Jam‘ until they said, “Shine, Thabir, so that we may hurry away.” When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came, he acted differently from them. He would depart from Jam‘ at about the time of the dawn prayer of travelers, before sunrise.’
