in some Islamic countries like Kuwait, Morocco, and al-Ṭāʾif, and others, they call the adhān for Maghrib 5 to 10 minutes after sunset. when I performed ʿumrah last Ramadan, I went up to the top floor of the building where I visited one of our brothers in al-Madīnah to observe the sunset while I was fasting, and the adhān was not called until 13 minutes after it had set! As for Jeddah, I went up a building there where my brother-in-law lives in an apartment, and the sun had barely set when I heard the adhān. I praised Allāh for that. Now, if you understand the meaning of the ḥadīth and that it does not contain what Ibn Ḥibbān claimed about performing the ẓuhr prayer before its time for the traveler, his statement falls: that the ḥadīth is rejected, and that its narrator, Masḥāj, is not reliable, especially since someone more knowledgeable in this field has authenticated him. Ibn Abī Ḥātim mentioned in his book (4/1/430) that Yaḥyá ibn Maʿīn said about him: reliable. Abū Zurʿah said: there is no harm in him, and in "al-Mīzān" and "al-Tahdhīb," it is reported from Abū Dāwūd that he also said: reliable. And what brings you closer to the meaning of the ḥadīth, and that there is no rejection in it, in addition to the previous explanation, is what al-Bukhārī narrated (1683) through the chain of Isrāʾīl from Abū Isḥāq from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Yazīd from Ibn Masʿūd that he arrived at (Jamʿ)... and prayed fajr when fajr appeared, with one saying: fajr has appeared, and another saying: fajr has not appeared... the ḥadīth. And although Abū Isḥāq had some confusion, he is a good witness for what we are discussing. Furthermore, I said regarding Ibn Ḥibbān's isnād: "If it is authentic..." because I did not know his teacher Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn, and he narrated from him in his "Ṣaḥīḥ," and I found three ḥadīths for him in "Mawārid al-Ẓamʾān fī Zawāʾid Ibn Ḥibbān" (823, 2327, and 2360), and he described him in the second of them as "the descendant of al-Ḥusayn ibn ʿĪsá," meaning his grandson. And Allāh knows best. Then I saw that al-Dhahabī had translated him in "al-Siyar" (14/405-406) and described him as "al-Māsarjasī, the imām, the ḥadīth scholar, the reliable scholar... the grandson of al-Ḥasan ibn ʿĪsá..."
