أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلَاءُ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فِي دَارِهِ بِالْبَصْرَةِ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ قَالَ وَدَارُهُ بِجَنْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ قَالَ
صَلَّيْتُمُ الْعَصْرَ؟ قُلْنَا لَا إِنَّمَا انْصَرَفْنَا السَّاعَةَ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ قَالَ فَصَلُّوا الْعَصْرَ قَالَ فَقُمْنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفْنَا قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «تِلْكَ صَلَاةُ الْمُنَافِقِ جَلَسَ يَرْقُبُ الْعَصْرَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتْ بَيْنَ قَرْنَيِ الشَّيْطَانِ قَامَ فَنَقَرَ أَرْبَعًا لَا يَذْكُرُ اللهَ فِيهَا إِلَّا قَلِيلًا»

✧ "Have you prayed the afternoon prayer?" We said: "No, we have only just finished the noon prayer." He said: "Then pray the afternoon prayer." So we stood and prayed. When we finished, he said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'That is the prayer of the hypocrite: he sits watching the afternoon prayer until it is between the two horns of the devil, then he stands and pecks four times, not remembering Allah therein except a little.'"
