159. ‘Urwah narrated from ‘Aishah: “Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ prayed ‘Aṣr while the sun was (shining) in her chamber, (and) no shadow appeared in her chamber.” (Ṣahīh)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Anas, Abū Barzah, Jābir, and Rāfi' bin Khadīj.
[He said:] It has been related that Rāfi' also narrated something from the Prophet ﷺ about delaying 'Aṣr, but it is not correct.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of 'Aishah is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
It is the opinion of some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, among them: 'Umar, 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd, 'Aishah, Anas, and more than one of the Tābi'īn: that 'Aṣr prayer is to be hastened, and they disliked delaying it.
This is also the opinion of 'Abdullāh bin Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'i, Ahmad, and Ishāq.

Commentary
"Shadow did not appear" may also mean that the sunlight was still inside the room and the shadow did not reach inside it; another meaning is the sun was seen on the floor and had not yet gone onto the wall. These both forms express the same purpose.
