مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 184
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
“We used to pray Maghrib with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then one of us would make his way to [the quarter of] Banū Salamah while still able to see where his arrows would land.”

Musnad Aḥmad 184
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: «كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَغْرِبَ، ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ أَحَدُنَا إِلَى بَنِي سَلِمَةَ، وَهُوَ يَرَى مَوَاقِعَ نَبْلِهِ».

Chain: Aḥmad → Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān → Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl → Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ. Rijāl: (1) Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān al-Baṣrī: thiqa mutqin, d. 198 AH. (2) Ḥumayd ibn Abī Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl al-Baṣrī: thiqa, d. 142 AH. (3) Anas ibn Mālik: Companion, d. ca. 93 AH. Takhrīj: Al-Bukhārī (559); Muslim (636); al-Nasāʾī (519); Aḥmad (12136). Being able to see where one's arrows fall means that enough light remained in the sky to make out objects at a distance, which is the state of the sky shortly after sunset. The report is the clearest evidence that the Prophet ﷺ prayed Maghrib promptly at the close of the day, and the quarter of Banū Salamah lay at some remove from the mosque, which sharpens the point.
