٦۔ كتاب المواقيت
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺforbade praying after 'Asr unless the sun was still white, clear and high."
نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ الشَّمْسُ بَيْضَاءَ نَقِيَّةً مُرْتَفِعَةً
"My father told me: 'Aishah said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never neglected to pray two Rak'ahs after 'Asr in my house.'"
عَائِشَةُ مَا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ عِنْدِي قَطُّ
'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never entered upon me after 'Asr but he prayed them (the two Rak'ahs)."
عَائِشَةُ ؓ ا مَا دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ إِلاَّ صَلاَّهُمَا
"I heard Masruq and Al-Aswad say: We bear witness that 'Aishah said: 'When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was with me after 'Asr, he would pray them (these two Rak'ahs).'"
سَمِعْتُ مَسْرُوقًا وَالأَسْوَدَ قَالاَ نَشْهَدُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدِي بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ صَلاَّهُمَا
"There are two prayers that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never neglected to pray them in my house secretly nor publicly: Two Rak'ahs before Fajr and two Rak'ahs after 'Asr."
صَلاَتَانِ مَا تَرَكَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَيْتِي سِرًّا وَلاَ عَلاَنِيَةً رَكْعَتَانِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَرَكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ
"He used to pray them before 'Asr, but if he got distracted or forgot them, he would pray them after 'Asr, and if he did a prayer he would be constant in it."
عَنِ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّيهِمَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّيهِمَا قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ شُغِلَ عَنْهُمَا أَوْ نَسِيَهُمَا فَصَلاَّهُمَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلاَةً أَثْبَتَهَا
"They are two Rak'ahs that I used to pray after Zuhr, but I got distracted and forgot them until I prayed 'Asr."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي بَيْتِهَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَّهَا ذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ هُمَا رَكْعَتَانِ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّيهِمَا بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَشُغِلْتُ عَنْهُمَا حَتَّى صَلَّيْتُ الْعَصْرَ
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got distracted and did not pray the two Rak'ahs before 'Asr so he prayed them after 'Asr."
شُغِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ فَصَلاَّهُمَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ
