حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ حَکِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِي يُونُسَ مَوْلَی عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَمَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أَنْ أَکْتُبَ لَهَا مُصْحَفًا وَقَالَتْ إِذَا بَلَغْتَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فَآذِنِّي حَافِظُوا عَلَی الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَی فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُهَا آذَنْتُهَا فَأَمْلَتْ عَلَيَّ حَافِظُوا عَلَی الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَی وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 410
Abu Yunus, the freed slave of Aishah said: Aishah commanded me to write for her come passage from the Quran. She also added: When you reach the following verse, inform me: "Be guardian of your prayers and of the midmost prayer" (2: 238). When I reached it, I informed her. She asked me to write: "Be guardians of your prayers, and of the midmost prayer, and of the Asr prayer, and stand up with devotion of Allah" (2: 238). Aishah then said: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
