وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: مَا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ عِنْدِي قطّ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِلْبُخَارِيِّ قَالَتْ: وَالَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِهِ مَا تَركهمَا حَتَّى لَقِي الله
‘A’isha said that God’s Messenger never omitted to pray two rak'as after the afternoon prayer in her house. (Bukhari and Muslim.) In a version by Bukhari she said, “By Him who took him away, he did not omit them till he met God.”
