The hadith: “There is no prayer after the ‘Asr until the sun sets . . .”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: What is the grade of authenticity of this hadith:
There is no prayer after the ‘Asr until the sun sets, and there is no prayer after the Fajr until the sun rises, except in Makkah, except in Makkah, except in Makkahلا صلاة بعد العصر حتى تغرب الشمس، ولا صلاة بعد الصبح حتى تطلع الشمس إلا بمكة، إلا بمكة، إلا بمكة
?

A: This hadith with the addition “except in Makkah” is weak. However, the original text of the hadith is established in the two Sahihs and other sources from a group of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:
There is no prayer after the morning prayer till the sun rises, and there is no prayer after the `Asr prayer till the sun sets.لا صلاة بعد الصبح حتى ترتفع الشمس، ولا صلاة بعد العصر حتى تغيب الشمس
Sahih al-Bukhari 586
But this generality excludes prayers that have a specific cause, according to the most correct of the scholars’ opinions, such as the eclipse prayer, the tawaf prayer, and the greeting of the mosque. These prayers are prescribed to be performed even in the times of prohibition, based on authentic hadiths that were reported regarding this, indicating their exclusion from the generality. And success is from Allah.
