Bayhaqi 4377 — s on the times in which voluntary prayer is disliked

أنبأ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ بِبَغْدَادَ، أنبأ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الرَّزَّازُ، ثنا سَعْدَانُ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حُجَيْرٍ قَالَ: كَانَ طَاوُسٌ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ اتْرُكْهُمَا، فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهُمَا أَنْ تُتَّخَذَ سُلَّمًا، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: " إِنَّهُ قَدْ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، عَنْ صَلَاةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ، فَلَا نَدْرِي أَتُعَذَّبُ عَلَيْهِمَا أَمْ تُؤْجَرُ؛ لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ {مَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَلَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَمْرًا أَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ}.
Hisham bin Hujayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him) used to pray two rak'ahs after Asr. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to him: Leave them. Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them "only lest they be taken as a ladder."
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) "forbade praying after Asr." I do not know whether you will be rewarded or punished for them, because Allah says: "It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should have any choice in their affair." [Surah al-Ahzab: 36]
