bayhaqi:4429Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Aḥmad al-Muqriʾ> Aḥmad b. Salmān al-Faqīh > ʿAbd al-Malik b. Muḥammad > al-Ḥawḍī And ʾAbū al-Walīd > Shuʿbah > Saʿd b. Ibrāhīm > Naṣr b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman from his grandfather Muʿādh Ibn ʿAfrāʾ

[Machine] Muadh, a man from Quraysh, asked, "Why don't you pray?" He replied, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade praying after the two prayers, after Asr until the sun sets, and after Fajr until it rises." Abu Dawood narrated this from Shu'bah, who said that his grandfather narrated it. He mentioned that Muadh ibn Afraa' performed tawaf along with him, and this is the correct understanding, as he had not received the specific prohibition. If he had received it, he would have informed him. And with Allah is the success.  

البيهقي:٤٤٢٩أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْمُقْرِئُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثنا الْحَوْضِيُّ وَأَبُو الْوَلِيدِ قَالَا ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ مُعَاذِ ابْنِ عَفْرَاءَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَلَا يُصَلِّي فَقَالَ

لَهُ مُعَاذٌ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مَا لَكَ لَا تُصَلِّي؟ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ وَبَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ فَقَالَ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّهُ طَافَ مَعَ مُعَاذِ ابْنِ عَفْرَاءَ وَهَكَذَا يَكُونُ مَحْمُولًا عَلَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْلُغْهُ التَّخْصِيصُ وَلَوْ بَلَغَهُ لَصَارَ إِلَيْهِ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ

[Machine] He used to perform tawaf (circumambulation) around the Kaaba after Asr (afternoon prayer), but he didn't pray. So Mu'adh, a man from the Quraysh, said to him, "What prevents you from praying?" He replied, "Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbidding prayer after the two prayers, after the Fajr (dawn) prayer until the sun rises, and after the Asr (afternoon) prayer until the sun sets."

[Machine] From his grandfather Mu'adh, a man from the tribe of Taym, it was reported that he used to perform Tawaf (circumambulation) after Asr (afternoon prayer) with Mu'adh bin 'Afra. However, he did not perform the prayer. So, I asked him, "What prevented you from praying?" He replied, "Verily, the Prophet ﷺ prohibited praying during two periods: two hours after Fajr (dawn prayer) until the sunrise and after Asr until the sunset."
