On the Day of Al-Khandaq, after the sun had set, Umar bin Al-Khattab started cursing the disbelievers of the Quraish and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I was hardly able to pray until the sun set." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "By Allah, I did not pray." So we went down with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to Buthan. He performed wudu' for prayer and so did we, and he prayed 'Asr after the sun had set, then he prayed Maghrib after that."

On the day of the Khandaq ʿUmar came, cursing the disbelievers of Quraish and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have not offered the ʿAsr prayer and the sun has set." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "By Allah! I too, have not offered the prayer yet. "The Prophet ﷺ then went to Buthan, performed ablution and performed the ʿAsr prayer after the sun had set and then offered the Maghrib prayer after it."

Messenger of Allah, by God, I could not say. the 'Asr prayer till the sun set. Upon this the Messenger ﷺ said: By Allah I, too, have not observed it. So we went to a valley. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution and we too performed ablution, and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the 'Asr prayer after the sun had set. and then said the evening prayer after it.

[Machine] That Umar ibn Al-Khattab came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night of the trench and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I almost missed praying Asr until the sun was about to set, and this was after the fasting person had broken his fast." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By Allah, we have not prayed it yet." He then descended to Buthan, and I was with him, and he performed ablution and prayed Asr after the sun had set and after the fasting person had broken his fast.
