The reciter: Ibn Muqatil narrated to us, saying: Abdullah informed us, saying: Abu Bakr ibn Uthman ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf informed us, saying: I heard Abu Umamah ibn Sahl say:
We prayed the Zuhr prayer with `Umar bin `Abdul `Aziz and then went to Anas bin Malik and found him offering the `Asr prayer. I asked him, "O uncle! Which prayer have you offered?" He said 'The `Asr and this is (the time of) the prayer of Allah s Apostle which we used to pray with him."
صلينا مع عمر بن عبد العزيز الظهر ثم خرجنا حتى دخلنا على أنس بن مالك فوجدناه يصلي العصر ، فقلت : يا عم ما هذه الصلاة التي صليت ؟ قال : العصر ، وهذه صلاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم التي كنا نصلي معه .
