Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) prayed Asr, then entered her house and prayed two rak'ahs. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, you prayed a prayer that you do not usually pray." He said, "Some wealth came to me, and it distracted me from the two rak'ahs I used to pray after Dhuhr, so I prayed them now." She asked, "O Messenger of Allah, should we make them up if we miss them?" He said, "No." [Narrated by Al-Tahawi]
In another narration by Darqutni, Umm Salamah said, "He entered her house after Asr and prayed two rak'ahs. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, has something happened to the people?' He said, 'No, but Bilal hurried the iqamah, so I did not pray the two rak'ahs before Asr, and I am making them up now.' I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, should we make them up if we miss them?' He said, 'No.'"

ف۔ اس حدیث شریف میں عصر کے فرض کے پہلے جو دو سنتوں کے پڑھنے کا ذکر ہے اس سے یہ نہ سمجھنا چاہئے کہ عصر کے فرض کے پہلے صرف دو سنت ہی غیر موکد ہیں بلکہ حدیثوں میں عصر کے فرض کے پہلے دو سنتوں کا بھی ذکر ہے اور چار سنتوں کا بھی مگر افضل یہ ہے کہ چار سنتیں پڑھی جائیں۔ (ہدایہ، ملتقی)
