English translation

[1938] 302 - (836) It was narrated that Mukhtâr bin Fulful said: "I asked Anas bin Mâlik about voluntary prayer after Ashr. He said: "Umar used to strike people's hands for praying after 'Asr, but at the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ we used to pray two Rak'ah when the sun set, before Maghrib prayer.' I said to him: 'Did the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ pray them?' He said: 'We used to see him praying them, but he did not tell us to do that or not to do that.'"

Arabic text

302 - (836) وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ فُضَيْلٍ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ مُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ عَنِ التَّطَوُّعِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ، فَقَالَ: «كَانَ عُمَرُ يَضْرِبُ الْأَيْدِي عَلَى صَلَاةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ، وَكُنَّا نُصَلِّي عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ»، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّاهُمَا؟ قَالَ: «كَانَ يَرَانَا نُصَلِّيهِمَا فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا، وَلَمْ يَنْهَنَا»
