[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to prepare an army for a battle, and he did not have enough provisions for them. Then, some provisions of charity arrived to him, so he distributed them among the people. They detained him until it was time for the Asr prayer, and he used to pray two rak'ahs before it or however Allah willed, then he prayed, and he returned to pray what he used to pray before it. When he prayed a prayer or did anything he loved, he would like to continue doing it.  

أحمد:٢٦٨٣٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَنْظَلَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ نَوْفَلٍ قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى مَيْمُونَةَ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ رَجُلًا آخَرَ فَقَالَتْ

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُجَهِّزُ بَعْثًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ ظَهْرٌ فَجَاءَهُ ظَهْرٌ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَجَعَلَ يَقْسِمُهُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَحَبَسُوهُ حَتَّى أَرْهَقَ الْعَصْرَ وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَصَلَّى مَا كَانَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَهَا وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَاةً أَوْ فَعَلَ شَيْئًا يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُدَاوِمَ عَلَيْهِ
