Sunan an-Nasa'i 1358

Ahmad ibn Sulayman informed us; he said: Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us; he said: Zuhayr narrated to us—and he mentioned another [transmitter]—from Simak ibn Harb, who said: I asked Jabir ibn Samurah, “Did you sit with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?” He said, “Yes. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the dawn prayer, he would sit in his prayer place until the sun rose. His Companions would talk, recalling stories from the pre-Islamic era, recite poetry, and laugh; he would smile.”
