429. 'Alī narrated: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would pray four Rak'ah before Al-Aṣr separating between them with At-Taslīm upon the angels that are close (to Allāh) and those who follow them among the Muslims and the believers." (Ḥasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn 'Umar and 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of 'Alī is a Ḥasan Hadīth.
Ishāq bin Ibrāhīm preferred that one not separate (two from two) in the case of the four Rak'ah before Al-Aṣr, using this Hadīth as proof. He [Ishāq] said: "His saying that he separated between them with At-Taslīm refers to the Tashah-hud."
Ash-Shāfi'ī and Ahmad said that the Ṣalāt in the daytime and the nighttime is two and then two, preferring a separation [in the four before Al-'Aṣr].

Commentary
Four Rak'ah before 'Aṣr (afternoon prayer) are not the Stressed Sunnah, according to the four A'immah; but their reward is enormous.
