Hadith 12509

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكٌ ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ ، فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ تَذَاكَرْنَا تَعْجِيلَ الصَّلَاةِ ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " تِلْكَ صَلَاةُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، يَجْلِسُ أَحَدُهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا اصْفَرَّتْ الشَّمْسُ ، وَكَانَتْ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيْ شَيْطَانٍ ، قَامَ فَنَقَرَ أَرْبَعًا ، لَا يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا إِلَّا قَلِيلًا " .
Alaa ibn Abdur Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once we were performing the Zuhr prayer when we came to the service of Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him). Shortly after, he stood up to perform the Asr prayer. When he finished the prayer, we said to him, "Asr prayer so early?" He replied, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'That is the prayer of the hypocrite, that the hypocrite keeps delaying the prayer until, when the sun is between the two horns of Satan, he stands up to pray and pecks four times, remembering Allah very little in it.'"
