[Machine] We were sitting with Ali in the Great Mosque, and it was a special occasion in Al-Kufa that day. The Muadhin came to him and said, "O Amir al-Mu'minin, it is time for Asr prayer." Ali replied, "Sit down." So he sat down, then the Muadhin came again and said the same thing. Ali said, "This dog teaches us about the Sunnah." So Ali stood up and led us in performing the Asr prayer. After we finished, we returned to the place where we were sitting, and we prostrated on our knees, observing the setting sun until we could no longer see it.
