Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ـ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ـ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ جَعَلَ عُمَرُ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ يَسُبُّ كُفَّارَهُمْ وَقَالَ مَا كِدْتُ أُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ حَتَّى غَرَبَتْ‏.‏ قَالَ فَنَزَلْنَا بُطْحَانَ، فَصَلَّى بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ‏.‏

Translation

Musaddad narrated to us: Yahya narrated to us, from Hisham, who said: Yahya—meaning Ibn Abi Kathir—narrated to us, from Abu Salama, from Jabir, who said: On the day of the Trench, ‘Umar began cursing the disbelievers and said, ‘I could hardly pray the afternoon prayer before the sun set.’ He said: We went down to Buthan, and he prayed after sunset, then prayed the sunset prayer.
