Hadith 11999

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ , حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ , عَنْ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ , قَالَ : دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَا ، وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ حِينَ صَلَّيْنَا الظُّهْرَ ، فَدَعَا الْجَارِيَةَ بِوَضُوءٍ ، فَقُلْنَا لَهُ : أَيُّ صَلَاةٍ تُصَلِّي ؟ ، قَالَ : الْعَصْرَ ، قَالَ : قُلْنَا : إِنَّمَا صَلَّيْنَا الظُّهْرَ الْآنَ ! ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " تِلْكَ صَلَاةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ، يَتْرُكُ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتْ فِي قَرْنَيْ الشَّيْطَانِ ، أَوْ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيْ الشَّيْطَانِ صَلَّى لَا يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا إِلَّا قَلِيلًا " .
Alaa ibn Abdur Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I performed the Zuhr prayer with an Ansari man and then went to the service of Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him). Shortly after, he asked a maid to bring water for ablution. We asked him, "Which prayer are you performing at this time?" He replied, "The Asr prayer." We said, "We have just come after performing Zuhr (is Asr prayer so early?)" He said, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: That is the prayer of the hypocrite, that the hypocrite delays the prayer until, when the sun is between the two horns of Satan, he stands to pray and remembers Allah very little in it."
