[Machine] Tamim al-Dari reported or it was reported to me that Tamim al-Dari performed two units of prayer after 'Umar ibn al-Khattab had prohibited praying after 'Asr. 'Umar struck him with a stick, and Tamim motioned to him to sit down while he was in prayer. 'Umar sat until Tamim finished and then said to him, "Why did you strike me?" Tamim said, "Because you prayed these two units while I had prohibited them." 'Umar said, "I have performed them with someone better than you, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." 'Umar said, "I am not afraid of you, O small group, but I fear that a people will come after you who will pray from 'Asr until Maghrib and claim to have seen so and so and so and so praying after 'Asr."
