Hadith 2070
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ ثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ زَعَمَ لِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا يَسْأَلُهَا هَلْ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَتْ: أَمَّا عِنْدِي فَلَا، وَلَٰكِنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي أَنَّهُ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَيْهَا فَاسْأَلْهَا، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَصَلَّى سَجْدَتَيْنِ، قُلْتُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ! أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكَ فِي هَٰاتَيْنِ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ؟ قَالَ: ((لَا وَلَٰكِنْ صَلَّيْتُ الظُّهْرَ فَشُغِلْتُ فَاسْتَدْرَكْتُهَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ))
Ubaydullah bin Abdullah said that Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) sent him to Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) to ask whether the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had ever performed any prayer after Asr. She said: It did not happen with me, but Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) had told me that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had performed two rak‘ahs after Asr, so you should send a message to her and ask her. So he sent a message to Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), and she said: Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me after Asr and performed these two rak‘ahs. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Has any new command been revealed regarding these two rak‘ahs? He replied: No, the matter is that I became occupied after performing the Zuhr prayer, so now I am making them up after Asr.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In the previous chapter’s ahadith, Sayyidah Aisha radi Allahu anha has already stated that the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to regularly perform two units (rak‘ahs) of prayer after ‘Asr. However, in this hadith, she has negated this prayer. It appears that by her negation, she intends to refute the incident narrated by Sayyidah Umm Salamah radi Allahu anha, not merely the two rak‘ahs themselves.
