حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَسَّانَ عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ قَالَ
كُنَّا نَرَى أَنَّ صَلَاةَ الْوُسْطَى صَلَاةُ الصُّبْحِ، قَالَ: فَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ أَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ اقْتَتَلُوا، وَحَبَسُونَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: اللَّهُمَّ امْلَأْ قُبُورَهُمْ نَارًا - أَوِ امْلَأْ بُطُونَهُمْ نَارًا - كَمَا حَبَسُونَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى، قَالَ: فَعَرَفْنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ أَنَّ صَلَاةَ الْوُسْطَى صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ

We used to think that the middle prayer was Fajr prayer. Then ʿAli ؓ told us that on the day of al-Ahzab they fought and were distracted from ‘Asr prayer. The Prophet ﷺ said: ʿO Allah, fill their graves with fire - or fill their bellies with fire - as they kept us from the middle prayer.ʿ Then on that day we realised that the middle prayer was ’Asr prayer.
