Abdullah bin Abi Qais says: I asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about the two rak'ahs after Asr. She said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray two rak'ahs after Dhuhr. One day he became occupied and was not able to perform these two rak'ahs until he had already prayed the Asr prayer. Then, when he finished and came to my house, he performed them. After that, he never abandoned them until he passed away. Abdullah bin Abi Qais says: Then when I asked Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) about them, he said: We used to pray this prayer, but later we abandoned it.
