حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ: نَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ أَيْمَنَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ:
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ، فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ، فَقَالَتْ: وَالَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ ﷺ مَا تَرَكَهَا حَتَّى لَقِيَ اللهَ، وَمَا لَقِيَ اللهَ حَتَّى ثَقُلَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ، وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي كَثِيرًا مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ "، فَقَالَتْ لَهَا أُمُّ أَيْمَنَ: إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ كَانَ يَنْهَى عَنْهُمَا ؟ قَالَتْ: " صَدَقْتِ، وَلَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّيهِمَا، وَلَا يُصَلِّيهِمَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُثَقِّلَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ، وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ مَا خَفَّفَ عَلَيْهِمْ

✧ I entered upon ʿĀʾishah and asked her about the two rakʿahs after ʿAṣr. She said, “By the One who took his soul ﷺ, he did not leave them until he met God. And he did not meet God until he had become too weak to pray standing, and he used to pray most of his prayers sitting.” Umm Ayman said to her, “ʿUthmān used to forbid them.” She said, “You speak truly, but the Messenger of God ﷺ used to pray them, and he did not pray them in the mosque for fear of making it burdensome for his community, and he loved whatever lightened their burden.”
