Bayhaqi 4915 — The report about the prayer called the prayer of zawal

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ شَوْذَبٍ بِوَاسِطَ، ثنا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبَى إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْنَا عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ تَطَوَّعِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالنَّهَارِ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ؟ قُلْنَا: نَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ مَا أَطَقْنَا، قَالَ: " كَانَ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ كَهَيْئَتِهَا مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَغْرِبِ عِنْدَ الْعَصْرِ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى إِذَا ارْتَفَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَحَلَّقَتْ وَكَانَتْ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ كَهَيْئَتِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ عِنْدَ الظُّهْرِ قَامَ ⦗٧٣⦘ فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ، يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ عَلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ، وَالنَّبِيِّينَ، وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُمْ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمِينَ، ثُمَّ يُمْهِلُ حَتَّى إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ صَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ، يَفْصِلُ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي بَعْدَهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ، يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ ". ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِهِ، " فَهَذِهِ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً تَطَوُّعُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالنَّهَارِ، وَقَلَّمَا يُدَاوِمُ عَلَيْهَا ". تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَاصِمُ بْنُ ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ يُضَعِّفُهُ فَيَطْعَنُ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Asim bin Damrah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about the voluntary prayers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the day. He said: Which of you is able to do that? We said: We will do as much as we are able. He said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) would wait until the sun, on the eastern side, reached the position it has on the western side at the time of Asr; then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would offer two rak'ahs. Then he would wait until the sun rose high, became a full disc, and reached the position it has when coming from the east towards the west; then at the time of Zuhr he would stand and offer four rak'ahs, separating every two rak'ahs with the salam and invoking peace upon the angels brought near, the prophets, and the believers and Muslims who follow them. Then he would wait until the sun passed its zenith; then he would pray four rak'ahs before Zuhr, separating them in the same way; then he would pray the Zuhr prayer, then after it he would offer two rak'ahs; then before Asr he would offer four rak'ahs, separating them in the same way too. Then he mentioned the complete hadith. These sixteen rak'ahs were the voluntary prayers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the day, and he seldom persisted in them.
Only Asim bin Damrah narrated it from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him); Abdullah bin al-Mubarak used to declare him da'if (weak) and criticised his narration of this hadith. And Allah knows best.
