[Machine] Umar used to perform (strike) the prayer after Asr (afternoon prayer). He said, "During the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we used to pray two units (Rak'ahs) after the sun had set but before the Maghrib (evening) prayer. So I asked, 'Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform (pray) these two units?' He replied, 'He used to see us performing (praying) them but he did not command us or forbid us from doing so.'"  

كَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ يَضْرِبُ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ قَالَ وَكُنَّا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّاهُمَا؟ قَالَ قَدْ كَانَ يَرَانَا نُصَلِّيهِمَا فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا
