وَعَن عَمْرو بن أخطَب الْأنْصَارِيّ قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا الْفجْر وَصعد الْمِنْبَرِ فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّى حَضَرَتِ الظُّهْرُ فَنَزَلَ فَصَلَّى ثمَّ صعِد الْمِنْبَر فَخَطَبَنَا حَتَّى حَضَرَتِ الْعَصْرُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ حَتَّى غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَأَخْبَرَنَا بِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَأَعْلَمُنَا أحفظنا. رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Translation

‘Amr ibn Akhtab al-Ansari reported: One day the Messenger of God ﷺ led us in the dawn prayer, then ascended the pulpit and addressed us until noon. He came down and prayed, then ascended the pulpit and addressed us until the afternoon prayer was due. He came down and prayed, then ascended the pulpit and continued addressing us until sunset. He informed us of what would happen until the Day of Resurrection. The one among us with the best memory retained the most. [Muslim transmitted it]
