[Machine] "What is this prayer that I have seen people praying and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ did not pray or command it?" Muawiyah said, "That is what Ibn Zubayr advises them." Ibn Zubayr entered, greeted, and sat down. Muawiyah asked, "O Ibn Zubayr, what is this prayer that you are commanding people to pray? We did not see the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ pray it or command it." Ibn Zubayr replied, "Aisha, the mother of the believers, informed me that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to pray it in her house." Muawiyah then asked Ibn Zubayr and another man to go and ask Aisha about it. Ibn Zubayr said, "I went to her and asked her about it, and I informed her about what Ibn Zubayr said. She replied, 'I did not tell Ibn Zubayr that the Prophet prayed these two units of prayer after 'Asr (afternoon prayer) with me. I only told him that the Prophet prayed them at my house. So I asked her, 'Did you pray these two units of prayer that you did not used to pray?' She replied, 'Something came up and I was preoccupied with it, so I missed those two units of prayer after Dhuhr (noon prayer). Then Bilal called me for prayer, and I did not want to withhold the people, so I prayed those two units of prayer.' Then I returned and informed Muawiyah. Muawiyah said to him, 'Did he not say that he had prayed them?' Ibn Zubayr replied, 'We should not leave them.' Muawiyah said, 'You will always be a dissenter.'"
