Arabic text

473 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَسَّانَ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «شَغَلُونَا عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى حَتَّى غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ»

Commentary

Obviously the prayer before the sunset is none but the 'Asr prayer. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ has designated this very same prayer as being the Salātul-Wusta. In a narration of the two Ṣahīhs (Ṣahīh Bukhārī and Ṣahīh Muslim), this explanation occurs.
