أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَعْمَرًا عَنْ يَحْيَی بْنِ أَبِي کَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّی فِي بَيْتِهَا بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ رَکْعَتَيْنِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَأَنَّهَا ذَکَرَتْ ذَلِکَ لَهُ فَقَالَ هُمَا رَکْعَتَانِ کُنْتُ أُصَلِّيهِمَا بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَشُغِلْتُ عَنْهُمَا حَتَّی صَلَّيْتُ الْعَصْرَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 583
It was narrated from Umm Salamah that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم once prayed two Rak’ahs after ‘Asr in her house. She asked him about that and he said: “They are two Rak’ahs that I used to pray after Zuhr, but I got distracted and forgot them until I prayed ‘Asr.” (Sahih)
