2- We read in another Hadith from Ibn Abbas: “Prophet (s.a.) performed prayers of noon and afternoon, and sunset and night conjunct without fear or rain and there written beneath the Hadith: They asked from Ibn Abbas that what the purpose of Prophet (s.a.) was from that?
He answered: “The purpose of his holiness was that none of Muslims will be in trouble”.2
3- Abdullah ibn Shaqiq says: “One day Ibn Abbas delivered a sermon for us after sunset prayer until sun went down and starts showed up. Crowd said prayer prayer, then a man from Bani Tamim tribe came and was continuously saying: Prayer! Prayer! Ibn Abbas said: You want to teach the tradition of Prophet (s.a.) to me, you rootless! Prophet of Allah (s.a.) performed prayers of noon and afternoon (and also) sunset and night conjunct. Abdullah ibn Shaqiq says: I doubted and I went to Abu Harira and asked him, and he confirmed the words of Ibn Abbas!”3
