It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to forbid us from performing prayer and burying the dead at three times: when the sun is rising until it becomes high, when the one standing at noon stands, and when it inclines for setting until it sets.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Safwan bin Mu'attal Salmi (may Allah be pleased with him), he asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I want to ask you about something which you know, but I do not know. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What is it? He said: Are there such hours during the day and night in which it is disliked to perform prayer? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, when you have performed the Fajr prayer, then refrain from performing any more prayer until the sun rises. When the sun has risen, then perform prayer, for indeed that prayer is presented and accepted, until the sun is at the height of a spear above your head. When it is above your head, then at that time Hell is kindled and its doors are opened, until it declines from your right side. When it declines from your right side, then perform prayer, for the prayer at that time is presented and accepted, until you have performed the Asr prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are two prayers after which no further prayer is to be performed: one is the Fajr prayer, until the sun rises, and the other is the Asr prayer, until the sun sets.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) has narrated a similar hadith of the Prophet.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no prayer after the Asr prayer until the sun sets, and there is no prayer after the Fajr prayer until the sun rises high or the time of Duha comes.

Nasr bin Abdur Rahman narrates that he performed Tawaf of the Ka'bah after Asr or Fajr with his grandfather, Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Afra' Qurashi (may Allah be pleased with him), but his grandfather did not offer the prayer of Tawaf. When Nasr asked him about this, he replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no prayer after two prayers: after the Fajr prayer until the sun rises, and after the Asr prayer until the sun sets.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The beloved people bore witness to me, and the most beloved among them to me is Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), they bore witness that the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no prayer after Asr until sunset, and after Fajr until sunrise.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not perform prayer after Asr, except when the sun is still high; during that time, you may pray.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: Indeed, you people perform a prayer, certainly we found the companionship of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and did not see him performing this prayer, rather the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this prayer. By this, he meant the two rak‘ahs after ‘Asr.

Rabi’ah bin Darraj says: Sayyiduna Ali bin Abu Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) performed two rak’ahs after ‘Asr on the way to Makkah. When Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him, he became angry and said: Beware! By Allah, indeed you know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had forbidden this prayer.
