Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: زَعَمَ لِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ، يَسْأَلُهَا: هَلْ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَتْ: أَمَّا عِنْدِي فَلَا، وَلَكِنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي أَنَّهُ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ، فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَيْهَا فَاسْأَلْهَا، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ، فَصَلَّى سَجْدَتَيْنِ، قُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ، أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكَ فِي هَاتَيْنِ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ؟ قَالَ: " لَا، وَلَكِنْ صَلَّيْتُ الظُّهْرَ، فَشُغِلْتُ، فَاسْتَدْرَكْتُهَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

Amir Muawiyah once sent a messenger to Aisha and inquired whether the Prophet (peace be upon him) had ever performed any prayer after Asr. She replied, "Not with me, but Umm Salamah has informed me that the Prophet (peace be upon him) did so, so you should ask her!" Accordingly, they asked Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) this question, and she replied, "Yes, once the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed the Asr prayer and came to my house because it was my turn that day, and he performed two rak'ahs there. I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, what are these two rak'ahs which you have been commanded to perform?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, 'No, rather these are the rak'ahs which I used to perform after Zuhr, but I became so occupied with the distribution of wealth that the muezzin came to inform me of the Asr prayer, and I did not consider it appropriate to leave them (so I performed them now).'"
