Musnad Abi Ya'la 4330 — The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray the Asr
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَانَ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَذْهَبُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى بَنِي حَارِثَةَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، وَيَرْجِعُ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ ، وَبِقَدْرِ مَا يَنْحَرُ الرَّجُلُ الْجَزُورَ وَيُعَضِّيهَا لِغُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ ، وَكَانَ لَا يُصَلِّي الْجُمُعَةَ حَتَّى تَمِيلَ الشَّمْسُ ، وَكَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ بِالشَّجَرَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray the Asr prayer (so early in its time) that a man (having finished the prayer) could go to (the settlements of) Banu Harithah bin al-Harith and come back before sunset; and (the breadth of the time can also be gauged from this, that) a man could slaughter a camel and cut its limbs into pieces before the sun set. Also, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would not pray the Friday prayer until the sun had declined (that is, until the zenith had passed), and when he (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for Makkah (on a journey), he would pray two rak'ahs of Zuhr at al-Shajarah (Dhu al-Hulayfah)."
