ahmad:16908Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > Abū al-Tayyāḥ > Ḥumrān b. Abān > Muʿāwiyah

You offer a prayer which I did not see being offered by Messenger of Allah ﷺ when we were in his company and he certainly had forbidden it (i.e. two rakʿat after the ʿAsr prayer). (Using translation from Bukhārī 587)  

أحمد:١٦٩٠٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُمْرَانَ بْنَ أَبَانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ

إِنَّكُمْ لَتُصَلُّونَ صَلَاةً لَقَدْ صَحِبْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَا رَأَيْنَاهُ يُصَلِّيهَا وَلَقَدْ نَهَى عَنْهُمَا يَعْنِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ

bukhari:3766ʿAmr b. ʿAbbās > Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > Abū al-Tayyāḥ > Ḥumrān b. Abān > Muʿāwiyah

Muawiya said (to the people), "You offer a prayer which we, who were the companions of the Prophet ﷺ never saw the Prophet ﷺ offering, and he forbade its offering," i.e. the two rakʿat after the compulsory ʿAsr prayer.  

البخاري:٣٧٦٦حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُمْرَانَ بْنَ أَبَانَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ ؓ قَالَ

إِنَّكُمْ لَتُصَلُّونَ صَلاَةً لَقَدْ صَحِبْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَمَا رَأَيْنَاهُ يُصَلِّيهَا وَلَقَدْ نَهَى عَنْهُمَا يَعْنِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ

You offer a prayer which I did not see being offered by Messenger of Allah ﷺ when we were in his company and he certainly had forbidden it (i.e. two rakʿat after the ʿAsr prayer). (Using translation from Bukhārī 587)  

أحمد:١٦٩١٤حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُمْرَانَ بْنَ أَبَانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنَّهُ رَأَى أُنَاسًا يُصَلُّونَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ

إِنَّكُمْ لَتُصَلُّونَ صَلَاةً قَدْ صَحِبْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَمَا رَأَيْنَاهُ يُصَلِّيهَا وَلَقَدْ نَهَى عَنْهَا يَعْنِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ

[Machine] "You used to perform a prayer that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pray, and he used to forbid it." "He means the two rak'ahs after Asr prayer."

«إِنَّكُمْ لَتُصَلُّونَ صَلَاةً مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّيهَا وَلَقَدْ كَانَ يَنْهَى عَنْهَا» «يَعْنِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ»

[Machine] "You used to perform this prayer, indeed we accompanied the Messenger of Allah and we saw him praying this prayer after Asr prayer."  

الطبراني:١٦٩٢٩حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى السَّاجِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ بُنْدَارٌ ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ عَنْ مَعْبَدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ

«إِنَّكُمْ لَتُصَلُّونَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ لَقَدْ صَحِبْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَرَأَيْنَاهُ فَمَا رَأَيْنَاهُ يُصَلِّي هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ» يَعْنِي الْعَصْرَ

[Machine] Indeed, you used to perform a prayer. We have accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we did not see him perform it. He had prohibited it, meaning the two units of prayer after the afternoon prayer.
