nasai:579Muḥammad b. ʿAbd al-Aʿlá > al-Muʿtamir > Maʿmar > Yaḥyá b. Abū Kathīr > Abū Salamah b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Um Salamah

"They are two Rak'ahs that I used to pray after Zuhr, but I got distracted and forgot them until I prayed 'Asr."  

النسائي:٥٧٩أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَعْمَرًا عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ

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

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , entered upon me after Asr prayer and performed two rak'ahs (units of prayer). I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what are these two rak'ahs?" He said, "I used to pray them after Dhuhr but something occupied me from praying them until I prayed Asr, so I prayed them now."  

الطبراني:١٩٨٩٨حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ ثنا حَمَّادٌ عَنِ الْأَزْرَقِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ ذَكْوَانَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا هَاتَانِ الرَّكْعَتَانِ قَالَ «كُنْتُ أُصَلِّيهُمَا بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَجَاءَنِي حَالٌ فَشَغَلَنِي عَنْهُمَا حَتَّى صَلَّيْتُ الْعَصْرَ فَصَلَّيْتُهُمَا الْآنَ»
