[Machine] There was a peacock praying two units after Asr prayer, so Ibn Abbas said to him, "Leave them." He said, "It was only forbidden to perform them on a ladder." Ibn Abbas said, "Indeed, prayer after Asr has been forbidden, so I do not know whether you will be punished for it or rewarded, for Allah says, 'It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error.'" (Quran 33:36) Sufyan said, "He considers it to be on a ladder, meaning he prays from after Asr until the night."  

كَانَ طاووسٌ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «اتْرُكْهُمَا» قَالَ «إِنَّمَا نُهِيَ عَنْهَا أَنْ تُتَّخَذُ سُلَّمًا» قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ نُهِيَ عَنْ صَلَاةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَتُعَذَّبُ عَلَيْهَا أَمْ تُؤْجَرُ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ {وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقْدَ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا مُبِينًا} [الأحزاب 36] قَالَ سُفْيَانُ تُتَّخَذَ سُلَّمًا يَقُولُ يُصَلِّي بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ only prohibited using a ladder. Ibn Abbas said that the Prophet ﷺ prohibited praying after Asr, so we do not know whether we will be punished or rewarded, because Allah the Almighty said, "It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair."  

إِنَّمَا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْهُمَا أَنْ تُتَّخَذَ سُلَّمًا قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَلَا نَدْرِي أَتُعَذَّبُ عَلَيْهِمَا أَمْ تُؤْجَرُ؛ لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ {مَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ}
