Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to offer the ʿAsr prayer at a time when the sun was still hot and high and if a person went to Al-ʿAwali (a place) of Medina, he would reach there when the sun was still high. Some of Al-ʿAwali of Medina were about four miles or so from the town.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ حَيَّةٌ فَيَذْهَبُ الذَّاهِبُ إِلَى الْعَوَالِي فَيَأْتِيهِمْ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ وَبَعْضُ الْعَوَالِي مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَمْيَالٍ أَوْ نَحْوِهِ  

We used to offer the ʿAsr prayer with the Prophet ﷺ and slaughter a camel, the meat of which would be divided in ten parts. We would eat the cooked meat before sunset.  

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ فَنَنْحَرُ جَزُورًا فَتُقْسَمُ عَشْرَ قِسَمٍ فَنَأْكُلُ لَحْمًا نَضِيجًا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ
