حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " صَلَاةُ الْوُسْطَى صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
English Commentary:
1:
Regarding which prayer is meant by "the middle prayer" (salat al-wusta), various hadiths have been narrated. The correct opinion is that what is meant is the ‘Asr prayer (salat al-‘asr). This is also the view of the majority of the Companions and the Followers (Tabi‘in).
Imam Abu Hanifah and
Imam Ahmad have also adopted this position.
2:
The well-known position of Imam Malik and Imam Shafi‘i is also this.
Note:
(Supported by the previous hadith, this is sahih li-ghayrihi (authentic due to corroborating evidence).
There is a difference of opinion regarding Hasan al-Basri’s hearing from Samurah radi Allahu anhu.
Also, Qatadah and Hasan al-Basri are mudallis (those who sometimes conceal their sources), and this narration is by way of ‘an‘anah (ambiguous transmission)).
