Chapter 9 · Times of the Prayersمَا يُصَلَّى بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ مِنَ الْفَوَائِتِ وَنَحْوِهَا
What may be prayed after the Asr prayer of missed prayers and the like
وَالَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِهِ مَا تَرَكَهُمَا حَتَّى لَقِيَ اللَّهَ، وَمَا لَقِيَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى حَتَّى ثَقُلَ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ، وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي كَثِيرًا مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ قَاعِدًا ـ تَعْنِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ ـ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّيهِمَا، وَلاَ يُصَلِّيهِمَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُثَقِّلَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ، وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ مَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ أَيْمَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ
Translation
Aishah reported: By the One who took him away, he did not abandon them until he met Allah; and he did not meet Allah, the Exalted, until the prayer had become heavy for him, and he used to perform much of his prayer sitting – she means the two rak'ahs after the Asr prayer. The Prophet ﷺ used to pray them, but he did not pray them in the mosque, for fear of making things heavy for his community; and he loved what made things lighter for them.
Translator’s note: The interjection “she means …” is from the narrator.

Aischa berichtete: Bei Dem, der ihn (zu sich) genommen hat, er hat sie nicht unterlassen, bis er Allah begegnete; und er begegnete Allah, dem Erhabenen, nicht, bevor ihm das Gebet schwer wurde, und er verrichtete viel von seinem Gebet im Sitzen – sie meint die zwei Rak'at nach dem Nachmittagsgebet. Und der Prophet ﷺ pflegte sie zu verrichten, verrichtete sie aber nicht in der Moschee, aus Furcht, es seiner Gemeinde schwer zu machen; und er liebte, was ihnen Erleichterung verschafft.
Translator’s note: Der Einschub „sie meint …“ stammt vom Überlieferer.
Türkçe
Âişe (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Onu (bu dünyadan) alıp götüren (Allah'a) yemin ederim ki, Allah'a kavuşuncaya kadar onları terk etmedi. Allah Teâlâ'ya da namaz kendisine ağır gelmeden kavuşmadı; namazının çoğunu oturarak kılardı. – İkindiden sonraki iki rekâti kastediyor. – Nebî ﷺ onları kılardı, fakat ümmetine ağır gelir korkusuyla mescidde kılmazdı; onlara hafif geleni severdi.
Translator’s note: “Kastediyor …” ara sözü râviye aittir.

رَكْعَتَانِ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَدَعُهُمَا سِرًّا وَلاَ عَلاَنِيَةً رَكْعَتَانِ قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ، وَرَكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ.
Aishah reported: There are two rak'ahs which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never used to leave, neither in secret nor openly: two rak'ahs before the dawn prayer and two rak'ahs after the Asr prayer.
مَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْتِينِي فِي يَوْمٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ إِلاَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ.
Aishah reported: The Prophet ﷺ never came to me on any day after the Asr prayer without praying two rak'ahs.
