Hazrat Hisham narrates from his father that a man came to Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu’bah in Kufa and saw that he performed the Asr prayer late. The man asked,“Why do you perform the Asr prayer late?”He replied,“I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performing the prayer in this manner. I would perform the prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and then return to my home in Banu Amr bin Awf, but the sun would still be high.”
