"I prayed 'Asr with the Prophet ﷺ in Al-Madinah, then he left, stepping over the necks of the people, so quickly that the people were surprised at his haste. He entered unto one of his wives, then he came out and said: 'While I was praying 'Asr, I remembered some gold that we had, and I did not want it to stay with us overnight, so I ordered that it be distributed.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1365)

I offered the ʿAsr prayer behind the Prophet ﷺ at Medina. When he had finished the prayer with Taslim, he got up hurriedly and went out by crossing the rows of the people to one of the dwellings of his wives. The people got scared at his speed . The Prophet ﷺ came back and found the people surprised at his haste and said to them, "I remembered a piece of gold Lying in my house and I did not like it to divert my attention from Allah's worship, so I have ordered it to be distributed (in charity).

I offered the ʿAsr prayer with the Prophet ﷺ and after finishing the prayer with Taslim he got up quickly and went to some of his wives and then came out. He noticed the signs of astonishment on the faces of the people caused by his speed. He then said, "I remembered while I was in my prayer that a piece of gold was Lying in my house and I disliked that it should remain with us throughout the night, and so I have ordered it to be distributed."

[Machine] I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the afternoon prayer. When he finished, he quickly stood up and entered one of his wives' quarters. Then he came out and saw the astonishment on the faces of the people due to his speed. He said, "While I was praying, I remembered something and I disliked that the evening or the night would pass while he was with us. So I ordered for his portion to be distributed."
