حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ شُتَيْرِ بْنِ شَكَلٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ شَغَلُونَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ مَلَأَ اللَّهُ قُبُورَهُمْ وَبُيُوتَهُمْ نَارًا ثُمَّ صَلَّاهَا بَيْنَ الْعِشَاءَيْنِ بَيْنِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 617
It was narrated that 'Ali (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said on the day of al-Ahzab: "They distracted us from the middle prayer, 'Asr prayer. May Allah fill their graves and houses with fire." Then he offered it between the two evening prayers, Maghrib and 'Isha'.
