160. Al-'Alā' bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān narrated that he visited Anas bin Mālik in his home in Al-Baṣrah after finishing Zuhr, and his home was next to the Masjid. So he said: "Stand to pray 'Aṣr." He (Al-'Alā') said: "So we stood to pray. When we were finished he (Anas) said: 'I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying: "That is the prayer of the hypocrite. He sits watching the sun,
until when it is between the horns of the Shaitān he stands and pecks out four (units of prayer), not remembering Allāh in them but a little.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
A hypocrite prays only to be seen, he has no concern or care for the remembrance of Allāh; therefore, he does not care about delay. Whereas a sincere believer, being seriously responsible, performs his duty with full satisfaction and peace at an early time and achieves tranquillity.
