about the hadith regarding maintaining the two 'Asr prayers; does it have a specific occasion?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the hadith:
Maintain the two 'Asr prayers حافظ على العصرين
, does the occasion mean that it is not clear whether an action like this would suffice?

The Shaykh : No, because it is not clear what the situation was of the man to whom he (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the words:
Maintain the two 'Asr prayers حافظ على العصرَين
. It is not clear. It may be like that other man who came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he ordered him to perform all the known obligatory duties, namely the five prayers every day and night. So it seemed that he found that heavy, and he accepted from him that he would maintain two prayers. So it is possible that this is in the category of what came in the hadith, and I think there is weakness in its chain, that they will give charity and pray. So this would be a legal policy that is not permissible to apply to all people. Rather, the opposite: we must impose the general Islamic system on people, and then the specific rulings differ from person to person. And this is what I hinted at earlier when I said: The system for the Zuhr prayer and the five prayers in the mosques must be maintained except for a sudden excuse. So what is the excuse of this man that he told him:
Maintain the two 'Asr prayers حافظ على العصرَين
? Allah knows best.
