174. 'Aishah narrated: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did not pray any Ṣalāt at the end of its time two times, until Allāh took him."(Hasan)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is [Hasan] Gharīb, and its chain is not connected.
Ash-Shāfi'ī said: The beginning of the time for the Ṣalāt is the most virtuous. Among the proofs for the virtue of the beginning of its time over its end is that it was the choice of the Prophet ﷺ, Abū Bakr, and 'Umar. They would only chose what was more virtuous, they would not forsake the virtue, and they would pray at the beginning of its time."
[He said:] That was narrated to us by Abū Al-Walīd Al-Makkī from Ash-Shāfi'ī.

Commentary
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not offer prayer in its latest time more than two times, without the need; and when he did so, the first time was for the purpose of learning (from Jibrīl) and secondly for the purpose of teaching; otherwise in normal circumstances he ﷺ never offered even a single prayer at its last time.
