‘Alaa says that when he returned after offering Zuhr, he went to Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) at his house in Basra, and his house was next to the mosque. So when we came to him, he asked:“Have you people offered Asr?”We said:“No, we have just returned after offering Zuhr.”So he said:“Then offer Asr.”We stood up and offered Asr. When we had finished, Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘This is the prayer of the hypocrite: he sits waiting for Asr until, when the sun is between the two horns of Satan (i.e., near sunset), he stands and pecks out four (quick) units, and in it he remembers Allah only a little.’”
