184. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ only performed the two Rak'ah (units of prayer) after Aṣr because some wealth came to him which distracted him from the two Rak'ah after Zuhr, so he prayed them after Aṣr, then he did not repeat that." (Da'if) There are narrations on this topic from 'Aishah, Umm Salamah, Maimūnah, and Abū Mūsā. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Ibn 'Abbās is a Hasan Hadīth. More than one person has reported from the Prophet ﷺ: That he prayed two Rak'ah after Aṣr. And this is contrary to what is related from him prohibiting Ṣalāt after Aṣr until the sun has set. The Hadīth of Ibn 'Abbās is more correct since he said in it: "then he did not repeat that.” It has been related that Zaid bin Thābit reported something similar to the Ḥadīth of Ibn ‘Abbās. There are two reports related from ‘Āishah on this topic: It is related from her that the Prophet ﷺ would not visit her after ‘Aṣr, without praying two Rak’ah. And it is related from her, from Umm Salamah, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he prohibited Ṣalāt after ‘Aṣr until the sun has set, and after Ṣubh until the sun has risen. The view that most of the people of knowledge agreed upon is that it is disliked to pray after ‘Aṣr until the sun has set, and after Ṣubh until the sun has risen, except for what is exempt from that, like Ṣalāt after Tawāf in Makkah, after ‘Aṣr, until the sun has set, and after Ṣubh, until the sun has risen. It has been reported that the Prophet ﷺ permitted that. This is the view of some scholars from among the Companions and those after them. And it is the saying of Ash-Shāfi‘ī, Ahmad, and Ishāq. And there are those among the people of knowledge from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and those after them who also disliked prayer in Makkah after ‘Aṣr and after Ṣubh. This is the saying of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Mālik bin Anas, and some of the people of Al-Kūfah.

Commentary

Making up the Sunnah of Zuhr prayer after ‘Aṣr is exclusively for the Prophet ﷺ, according to the majority of the scholars; but ‘Aishah used to perform voluntary prayer after ‘Aṣr, and she stated that the purpose of prohibition of voluntary prayer after ‘Aṣr was if the prayer is purposely performed at sunset.
