A Neglected Sunnan ı Two Rakats after Asr
Al-Albani (may Allah rest him in Firdous) said,ı This is a prayer which is forgotten and should be revived.ı[ Saheehah hadeeth hadeeth 3174]
عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ صَلاَتَانِ مَا تَرَكَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى بَيْتِى سِرًّا وَلاَ عَلاَنِيَةً رَكْعَتَانِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ وَرَكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ.
1.ıisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: ıThere are two prayers that the messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) never neglected to pray in my house secretly or publicly: Two Rakıah before Fajr and two Rakıah after Asr.ı [Bukhari 592]
عائِشَةُ رضى الله تعالى عنها مَا دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ إِلاَّ صَلاَّهُمَا.
2. ıisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Anytime Allahıs messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) came to my house after Asr he prayed two Rakıah [Bukhari 593 ]
The scholarsı analysis about these two Rakıah:
1. Imam At-Tahawee (may Allah have mercy on him) said, ıSome people see no harm in praying two Rakıah after Asr and consider them a Sunnah.ı [Sharh Maıanee Al-Athar 1-301]
2. Imam Ibn Hazm (may Allah have mercy on him) said,ı ıThird: If this hadeeth is authentic itıs a proof for us. This hadeeth tells us that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed two rakıah after Asr. On the contrary if it wasnıt allowed or disliked, Allahıs messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) wouldnıt have prayed these two rakıah. His actions are guidance and correct, regardless whether he does it once or a thousand times.ı [ Al-Muhalla]
3. Ibn Hajr (may Allah have mercy on him) said, ı To cling to these narrations establish the permissibility to offer a supererogatory prayer after Asr in any respect as long as it isnıt intended to be done during sunset.ı [ Fath 2/85 ]
4. Shaykh Nasirud deen Al-Albani (may Allah have mercy on him) said,ı Among the accepted errors in the books of Fiqh is the prohibition of these two rakıah and not mentioning them among the supererogatory exercises of devotion. Nevertheless, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) preserved these two Rakıah the same way he preserved the two before Fajr. There isnıt any evidence for the two Rakıah after Asrıs abrogation or their being special for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only! How could it be, when ıisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the most knowledgeable person about these two rakahı safeguarded them as well as other companions and pious Salaf.[ Silsilatus Saheehah 7/528]
5. Shaykh Muhammad Adam El-Ethiopee (may Allah preserve him) said,ı The more acceptable position is that it is permissible to pray after Asr as long as the sun is pure white. The ruling for this action is based on an authentic hadeeth, the actions of the companions, and tabeeıoon... [Thakheerahtul ıUqba fee Sharh Al-Mujtabah 7/202]
6. Shaykh Ubayd Al-Jaabiree (may Allah preserve him) said, ıThere are a large number of people who donıt know that Asr has a Sunnah. It is recommended to pray two rakıah after Asr. Many people today are unaware of this act therefore it causes some confusion. We have emphasized on more than one occasion that if a Muslim combines Thur and Asr he doesnıt offer a sunnah prayer between them. Because doing so contradicts the act of joining. However when he finishes Asr he can pray two rakıah if he wishes; since the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do so as collected by Imam Muslim.
Itıs a must to know that many Muslims not only in contemporary times but past centuries as well neglected these two rakıah as being Sunnah. ıisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Anytime Allahıs messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) came to my house after Asr he prayed two Rakıah.ıThe Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray two rakıah before Thur .One day he was to occupied to offer them at that time, hence he prayed them after Asr and continued this act. The fact that he continued to pray these two Rakıah after Asr makes it a Sunnah. He didnıt just pray them once. We are not prohibited from praying these two rakıah. [www.Sahab.net]
