Arabic hadith text
وَعَن سعيد بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ أَيَّامُ الْحَرَّةِ لَمْ يُؤَذَّنْ فِي مَسْجِدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثًا وَلَمْ يُقَمْ وَلَمْ يَبْرَحْ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ الْمَسْجِدَ وَكَانَ لَا يَعْرِفُ وَقْتَ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا بِهَمْهَمَةٍ يَسْمَعُهَا مِنْ قَبْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. رَوَاهُ الدَّارمِيّ
Translation
Sa‘id ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz reported: During the days of al-Harrah, there was no call to prayer or call to begin prayer in the Prophet’s Mosque for three days. Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyib did not leave the mosque. He knew the prayer times only by a murmur he heard from the Prophet’s grave. [Al-Darimi transmitted it]
