Chapter 6 · The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayerالدَّلِيلِ لِمَنْ قَالَ الصَّلاَةُ الْوُسْطَى هِيَ صَلاَةُ الْعَصْرِ
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْأَحْزَابِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَلَأَ اللهُ قُبُورَهُمْ وَبُيُوتَهُمْ نَارًا، كَمَا حَبَسُونَا، وَشَغَلُونَا عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى، حَتَّى غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ.

The evidence for those who say that “the middle prayer” is the `Asr prayer
When it was the day (of the Battle) of Ahzab, the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: May Allah fill their graves and houses with fire, as they detained us and diverted us from the middle prayer, till the sun set.
