Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، الصلاة، باب الصلاة قبل العصر، حديث:1271، والترمذي، الصلاة، حديث:430، وأحمد:2 /117، وابن خزيمة:2 /206، حديث:1193.»©Explanation:
These four rak‘ahs before the ‘Asr prayer are not from the regular Sunnah prayers (Sunan Rawatib, i.e., emphasized Sunnahs), but they possess great virtue. The supplicatory words of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), "Rahimahullah imra’an" (May Allah have mercy on a person), for the one who is diligent in these four rak‘ahs, indicate the immense virtue of these rak‘ahs—that is, whoever performs these four rak‘ahs, may Allah’s mercy be upon him.

1:
These four rak‘ahs before the ‘Asr prayer are not among the regular Sunnah (Sunan Rawatib/Sunan Mu’akkadah),
rather, they are among the non-emphasized Sunnah (Sunan Ghair Mu’akkadah).
However, the fact that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam supplicated for mercy for the one who performs them demonstrates their significance.
