nasai-kubra:1571ʿUthmān b. ʿAbdullāh > ʿUbaydullāh b. Muʿādh b. Muʿādh from my father > ʿImrān b. Ḥudayr > Saʾalt Lāḥiq > al-Rakʿatayn ʿInd Ghurūb al-Shams

"I asked Lahiq about the two Rak'ahs before sunset. He said: "Abdullah bin Az-Zubair used to pray them, and Mu'awiyah sent word to him asking: 'What are these two Rak'ahs at sunset?' He had to refer to Umm Salamah, and Umm Salamah said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray two Rak'ahs before 'Asr, then he was distracted and did not pray them, so he prayed them when the sun set, and I never saw him pray them before or after that.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 581)  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٥٧١أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُدَيْرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ لَاحِقًا عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يُصَلِّيهِمَا فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ مُعَاوِيَةُ مَا هَاتَانِ الرَّكْعَتَانِ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ؟ فَاضْطَرَّ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَتْ

أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ فَشُغِلَ عَنْهُمَا فَرَكَعَهُمَا حِينَ غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَلَمْ أَرَهُ يُصَلِّيهِمَا قَبْلُ وَلَا بَعْدُ»
