عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ قَالَ: إِنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْ آلَ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى عِنْدَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَكَانُوا يُصَلُّونَهَا، قَالَ قَبِيصَةُ: فَقَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ: يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِعَائِشَةَ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عَائِشَةَ، إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ أُنَاسًا مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ أَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِهَجِيرٍ فَقَعَدُوا يَسْأَلُونَهُ وَيُفْتِيهِمْ حَتَّى صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ يُفْتِيهِمْ حَتَّى صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ فَانْصَرَفَ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصَلِّ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ شَيْئًا فَصَلَّاهُمَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ، يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لِعَائِشَةَ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ عَائِشَةَ، نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ
Qabeesah bin Dhu’ayb says: Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) informed the family of Zubair that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had performed two rak’ahs with her after Asr, so the people of the family of Zubair used to perform these two rak’ahs. But Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: May Allah forgive Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), we know the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) better than Sayyidah does. The reason for these two rak’ahs was that some Bedouins came and sat with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at midday and began to ask questions, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) began to answer them, until he performed the Zuhr prayer, and then, without performing the two Sunnah after it, sat with them and continued answering their questions, until he performed the Asr prayer. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) went home, he remembered that he had not performed the prayer after Zuhr, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed those two rak’ahs after Asr. May Allah forgive Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), we know the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) better than Sayyidah does. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade performing prayer after Asr.
