English translation

571. It was narrated from Ibn Ṭawūs that his father said: “‘Aishah, may Allāh be pleased with her, said: ‘Umar, may Allāh be pleased with him, is not correct, rather the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ only prohibited, as he said: ‘Do not deliberately seek to pray when the sun is rising or when it is setting, for it rises between the horns of a Shaitān.’” (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

570 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ الْمُخَرِّمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَنْبَسَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: أَوْهَمَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، إِنَّمَا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تَتَحَرَّوْا بِصَلَاتِكُمْ طُلُوعَ الشَّمْسِ وَلَا غُرُوبَهَا؛ فَإِنَّهَا تَطْلُعُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيْ شَيْطَانٍ»

Commentary

Umar's ﷺ forbidding people to pray after the Asr prayer was based on the explicit prohibition of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. But ‘Aishah ﷺ had probably no knowledge of its prohibition, or she might have drawn a different conclusion on account of the Prophet's ﷺ praying after Asr.
