Sahih al-Bukhari 923 (Book 12, Hadith 4)
Apostle! I have not offered the `Asr prayer and the sun has set.” The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “By Allah! I too,
have not offered the prayer yet. “The Prophet (ﷺ) then went to Buthan, performed ablution and performed
the `Asr prayer after the sun had set and then offered the Maghrib prayer after it.”
“ وَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُهَا بَعْدُ ”. قَالَ فَنَزَلَ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ فَتَوَضَّأَ، وَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ بَعْدَ مَا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ بَعْدَهَا.
