Sahih al-Bukhari 3940 (Book 64, Hadith 156)
infidels of Quraish saying, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I was unable to offer the (`Asr) prayer till the sun was
about to set.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By Allah, I have not offered this (i.e. `Asr) prayer.” So we came
down along with the Prophet (ﷺ) to Buthan where he performed ablution for the prayer and then we
performed the ablution for it. Then he offered the `Asr prayer after the sun had set, and after it he
offered the Maghrib prayer.
“ وَاللَّهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُهَا ” فَنَزَلْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بُطْحَانَ، فَتَوَضَّأَ لِلصَّلاَةِ وَتَوَضَّأْنَا لَهَا، فَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا الْمَغْرِبَ.
