عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ حِينَ صَلَّيْنَا الظُّهْرَ، فَدَعَا الْجَارِيَةَ بِوَضُوءٍ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: أَيُّ صَلَاةٍ تُصَلِّي؟ قَالَ: الْعَصْرَ، قَالَ: قُلْنَا: إِنَّمَا صَلَّيْنَا الظُّهْرَ الْآنَ، فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((تِلْكَ صَلَاةُ الْمُنَافِقِ، يَتْرُكُ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتْ فِي قَرْنَيِ الشَّيْطَانِ أَوْ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيِ الشَّيْطَانِ صَلَّى لَا يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا إِلَّا قَلِيلًا))
Ala bin Abdur Rahman says: I and an Ansari man, after performing the Zuhr prayer, went to Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). He asked a girl to bring water for ablution. We asked: Which prayer are you about to perform? He said: Asr prayer. We said: We have just now performed the Zuhr prayer. He said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the prayer of the hypocrite, that he keeps delaying the prayer until the sun comes between the two horns of Satan, then he performs the prayer and remembers Allah very little.
