حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِي يُونُسَ مَوْلَى عَائِشَةَ ؓ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
أَمَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أَنْ أَكْتُبَ لَهَا مُصْحَفًا وَقَالَتْ إِذَا بَلَغْتَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ فَآذِنِّي { حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلاَةِ الْوُسْطَى } فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُهَا آذَنْتُهَا فَأَمْلَتْ عَلَىَّ { حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلاَةِ الْوُسْطَى وَصَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ } ثُمَّ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ

'Aishah commanded me to write for her come passage from the Qur'an. She also added: When you reach the following verse, inform me: "Be guardian of your prayers and of the midmost prayer" (2:238). When I reached it, I informed her. She asked me to write: "Be guardians of your prayers, and of the midmost prayer, and of the 'Asr prayer, and stand up with devotion of Allah" (2:238). 'Aishah then said: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Qurṭubī
وقد اتفق المسلمون كافة على أن قولها وصلاة العصر ليس قرآنا اليوم يتلى وإنما هي رواية شاذة انفردت بها وبرفعها إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وغايتها أن تكون خبرا إلا أنها قد رفعتها وأسندتها
machine translationAll the Muslims have agreed that her words "and the ʿAṣr prayer" are not Qur'an recited today. Rather, it is an irregular (shādhdh) report which she alone transmitted, and she alone traced it back to the Prophet ﷺ. At most it can be a report (khabar), except that she raised it (marfūʿ) and attributed it with a chain (musnad).
