Jami at-Tirmidhi 2983 — Exegesis of Certain Verses from Surah
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 .
´Narrated Samurah bin Jundab:` "The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'The middle Salat is Salat Al-'Asr.'"

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)).
