I heard that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that whoever prays four rak'ahs before the 'Asr prayer will enter Paradise. Is this correct, and is it permissible to pray it after the adhan?

The questioner : I heard that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said that:
It was narrated from Umm Habibah that: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: "Whoever prays four rak'ahs before Zuhr and four after, Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, will forbid him from the Fire." من صلى أربع ركعات قبل العصر دخل الجنة
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1814Sahih (Darussalam)
Is this correct? And is it permissible to pray it after the adhan of 'Asr and before performing the obligatory prayer?

The Shaykh : There is discussion regarding this hadith, and the scholars have differed on it. Even if it is authentic, the meaning is that whoever prays four rak'ahs with two taslims between the adhan and the prayer. What I know from the hadith is that it is worded as:
May Allah have mercy upon a man who prays four before Al-Asr. رحم الله امرأً صلى قبل العصر أربعاً
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 430Hasan (Darussalam)
and I do not know it with the wording mentioned by the questioner.
