Explanation of the Book of Prayer and Its Times-10b

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Ibrahim ibn al-Mundhir narrated to us, saying: Anas ibn Iyad narrated to us from Hisham from his father that Aisha said:
God’s Messenger used to pray the afternoon prayer when the sun was high and bright كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي العصر والشمس لم تخرج من حجرتها
Mishkat al-Masabih 592
.

The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah, the simplicity of the early generations and the ease of their expression. "It had not left her chamber." Her chamber was undoubtedly small. Also, if the wall is high, it differs from if it is short, but even so, these are their estimates.
How much was there between his pre-dawn meal and his prayer? The length of sixty verses. كم بين سحوره وصلاته ؟ قدر ستين آية
And similar to this is what they estimate by, which indicates the leniency of the religion and its ease, and that delving deep and being overly strict is contrary to the guidance of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).
And here he says:
had not disappeared from my chamber لم تخرج من حجرتها
Sahih al-Bukhari 544
And he indicated in the suspended hadith, and Abu Usamah said that he said:
From the bottom of her chamber. من قعر حجرتها
And he distinguished between "from her chamber" and "from the bottom of her chamber." The bottom is the middle, and "from the chamber" could be at the edge of the wall, and...
It seems that al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) is indicating the weakness of Abu Usamah's hadith. He also indicated the weakness of his hadith in another place where he narrated the hadith of the one who messed up his prayer, and when he mentioned the second prostration, he said:
then raise yourself and sit quietly ثم ارفع حتى تطمئن جالساً
Sahih Muslim 397a
, even though the rest of the narrators did not mention this word. And those who insisted on this word are the ones who said that the sitting for rest is obligatory, because when he mentioned the second prostration, he said:
then raise yourself and sit quietly ثم ارفع حتى تطمئن جالساً
Sahih Muslim 397a
, so they said that in the hadith of the one who messed up his prayer, everything mentioned is either pillars or obligations. But we do not know that any of the early scholars said that the sitting for rest is obligatory.
And al-Bukhari, after narrating this, said: And Abu Usamah said:
Until you sit in a state of rest. حتى تطمئن جالسا
And this indicates the error in this wording.
