( إِلَّا صَلَّى بَعْد الْعَصْر رَكْعَتَيْنِ ) : قَالَ الْخَطَّابِيُّ : صَلَاة النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي هَذَا الْوَقْت قِيلَ إِنَّهُ مَخْصُوص بِذَلِكَ , وَقِيلَ إِنَّ الْأَصْل فِيهِ أَنَّهُ صَلَّاهَا يَوْمًا قَضَاء لِفَائِتِ رَكْعَتَيْ الظُّهْر , وَكَانَ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا فَعَلَ فِعْلًا وَاظَبَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَقْطَعهُ فِيمَا بَعْد , وَقِيلَ إِنَّهُ صَلَّى بَعْد الْعَصْر تَنْبِيهًا لِأُمَّتِهِ أَنَّ نَهْيه صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الصَّلَاة بَعْد الصُّبْح وَبَعْد الْعَصْر عَلَى وَجْه الْكَرَاهِيَة لَا عَلَى وَجْه التَّحْرِيم قَالَ الْمُنْذِرِيُّ : وَأَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيّ وَمُسْلِم وَالنَّسَائِيّ.…

سَأَلْتِ عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ وَإِنَّهُ أَتَانِي نَاسٌ مِنْ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ فَشَغَلُونِي عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فَهُمَا هَاتَانِ ‏"

مَا كَانَ يَوْمُهُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَكُونُ عِنْدِي إِلاَّ صَلاَّهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي بَيْتِي ‏.‏ تَعْنِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ ‏.‏
