أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَکْرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ بْنَ سَهْلٍ يَقُولُ صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا حَتَّی دَخَلْنَا عَلَی أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ قُلْتُ يَا عَمِّ مَا هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةُ الَّتِي صَلَّيْتَ قَالَ الْعَصْرَ وَهَذِهِ صَلَاةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّتِي کُنَّا نُصَلِّي
سنن نسائی · Hadith 512
It was narrated that Abu Bakr bin ‘Uthman bin Sahl bin Hunaif said: “I heard Abu Umamah bin Sahl say: ‘We prayed Zuhr with ‘Umar bin ‘Abdul-’Aziz, then we went out and entered upon Anas bin Malik, and we found him praying ‘Asr.” I said: “uncle, what is this prayer that you prayed?” He said: “Asr; this is the prayer of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم that we used to pray with him.” (Sahih)
