Mukhtasar Bukhari

Umm al-Mu’minin Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forbidding the prayer (of two rak’ahs) after the ‘Asr prayer, but then I saw him performing (two rak’ahs) after ‘Asr. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had offered the ‘Asr prayer, he came to me, and at that time some women from the Ansar tribe of Banu Haram were sitting with me (so I could not go myself). Therefore, I sent a slave girl to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told her: Stand by his side and say to him that Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: You forbade these two rak’ahs, yet you are performing them yourself. If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gestures to you with his hand, then move back. So the slave girl did as I had told her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his hand, so she moved back from him. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he said: “O daughter of Abu Umayyah! You asked about the two rak’ahs after ‘Asr. (Listen:) Some people from the tribe of ‘Abd al-Qays came to me and kept me from the two rak’ahs that are after Zuhr, so these are those same two rak’ahs (not a separate prayer).”
