413. Al-'Alā' bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān said: "We visited Anas bin Mālik after Zuhr, so he stood up to pray Asr. After he finished his prayer, we mentioned the praying early, or he mentioned it. So he said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: That is the prayer of the hypocrites, that is the prayer of the hypocrites, that is the prayer of the hypocrites. One of them will sit until, when the sun becomes dull yellow, and is between the two horns of a Shaitān or upon the two horns of Shaitān, he stands up and pecks out four Rak'ahs, not remembering Allāh in them except a little.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
This Hadīth warns of the danger of delaying Salāt, comparing purposeful
delay of the prayer to the hypocrite. In a Hadīth of ‘Amr bin ‘Abasah, recorded by Muslim (no. 1930), it is mentioned that the time of the rising and setting of the sun is when the disbelievers prostrate to the sun.
