Arabic text

1274 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ الْأَجْدَعِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ، إِلَّا وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ»

Commentary

"So prayer in general is allowed, whether it is obligatory which is being made up, or Sunnah, or voluntary, or Janāzah." This was said by Al-'Azīmābādī in 'Awn Al-Ma'būd. What is popular, based on Hadīths like those that follow, is a general prohibition of prayer after 'Aṣr, while this narration explains that it is allowed provided that the sun is not low, and this is in accord with what is narrated in number 1279.
