It is narrated from the wife of the Messenger, Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I have not seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ever perform prayer after Asr, except on one occasion when people came to him after Zuhr and kept him occupied with some work, so he was unable to perform any prayer after Zuhr until he had performed the Asr prayer. Then, when he came to my house, he performed those two rak‘ahs.
