I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) forbidding the offering of two Rak'at after (prayer). Later I saw him offering them (immediately) after he prayed the ' prayer. At that time some of the women were (sitting) with me, so I sent my slave-girl to him having said to her: ' Stand beside him and tell him that Umm Salama says to you, O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) I have heard you forbidding the offering of these (two Rak'at after the ' Asr prayer) but I have seen you offering them." If he waves his hand then wait for him. ' The slave-girl did that. The Prophet (ﷺ) beckoned her with his hand and she waited for him. When he had finished the Salât (prayer) he said, "O daughter of Umaiyya ! You have asked me about the two Rak'at after the ' Asr prayer. The people of the tribe of ' Abdul-Qais came to me and made me busy and I could not offer the two Rak'at after the Zuhr prayer. These (two Rak'at that I have just prayed) are for those (missed) ones." [2:325-0.B.]
