A'isha said that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not abandon observing two rak'ahs after 'Asr, but she reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Do not get used to observe prayer at the time of the rising sun and at the time of its setting and (exhorted the Muslims) to pray at their times.
