410. Abū Yūnus, the freed-slave of ‘Āishah said: “‘Āishah commanded me to copy a Mushaf for her. She said: ‘When you come to this Verse: ‘Guard the prayers, and (especially) the middle (Al-Wustā) prayer’[1] inform me.’ So when I reached it, I informed her, so she dictated to me: ‘Guard the prayers — and (especially) the middle (Al-Wustā) prayer — and the ‘Aṣr’ prayer and stand before Allāh obediently.’ She then said: ‘I heard this from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.’”[2] (Ṣaḥīḥ)
