أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ أَبِي يُونُسَ مَوْلَى عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ
أَمَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أَنْ أَكْتُبَ لَهَا مُصْحَفًا فَقَالَتْ 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 سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ

"Aishah told me to copy a Mushaf for her, and she said: 'When you reach this verse, call my attention: Guard strictly the Salawat especially the middle (Al-Wusta) Salah. [1] When I reached it, I called her attention and she dictated to me: 'Guard strictly the Salawat expecially the middle (Al-Wusta) Salah and the 'Asr prayer, and stand before Allah with obedience.' Then she said: 'I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'" [1] Al-Baqarah 2:238.

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).
