Musnad Abi Ya'la 3957

Translation

✧ I asked Anas b. Malik about praying after Asr. He said: Umar b. al-Khattab used to strike people for praying after Asr. He said: We used to pray two rak'as after sunset before the Maghrib prayer during the time of the Messenger of God ﷺ. I said: Was the Messenger of God ﷺ the one who prayed them? He said: He used to see us praying them, and he neither commanded us nor forbade us.
