أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ حُدَيْرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ لَاحِقًا عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يُصَلِّيهِمَا فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ مُعَاوِيَةُ مَا هَاتَانِ الرَّكْعَتَانِ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ؟ فَاضْطَرَّ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَتْ
أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ فَشُغِلَ عَنْهُمَا فَرَكَعَهُمَا حِينَ غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَلَمْ أَرَهُ يُصَلِّيهِمَا قَبْلُ وَلَا بَعْدُ»
