566 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ ضَمْرَةَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ يَقُولُ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى الطُّلُوعِ، وَعَنِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى الْغُرُوبِ»

Commentary
One is forbidden to offer optional prayer after praying the dawn prayer (Subh) and the mid-afternoon prayer (Asr). This is because had the optional Prayer been permitted, people might have surely performed prayer at the time of the sunset and the sunrise, since the precise sighting of the sunrise and the sunset is almost impossible from inside mosques (or homes). It is probable that prayer during the said times has been made forbidden in order to eradicate the possibility of people praying during prohibited times.
