Chapter 6 · The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayerاسْتِحْبَابِ التَّبْكِيرِ بِالْعَصْرِ
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، ح قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ حَيَّةٌ، فَيَذْهَبُ الذَّاهِبُ إِلَى الْعَوَالِي، فَيَأْتِي الْعَوَالِي وَالشَّمْسُ مُرْتَفِعَةٌ» وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ قُتَيْبَةُ: فَيَأْتِي الْعَوَالِيَ.

It is recommended to pray `Asr early
The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to pray the afternoon prayer when the sun was high and bright, then one would go off to al-'Awali and get there while the sun was still high. Ibn Qutaiba made no mention of one would go off to al-'Awali .
