حَدَّثَنَا
حَجَّاجٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
حُمْرَانَ بْنَ أَبَانَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ
مُعَاوِيَةَ ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى أُنَاسًا يُصَلُّونَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّكُمْ لَتُصَلُّونَ صَلَاةً قَدْ صَحِبْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَمَا رَأَيْنَاهُ يُصَلِّيهَا ، وَلَقَدْ
نَهَى عَنْهَا ، يَعْنِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that you people perform such a prayer that, despite being in the company of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we never saw him performing this prayer; rather, he used to forbid it. What is meant are the two (nafl) rak‘ahs after ‘Asr, which he saw some people performing.
