Arabic hadith text

وَعَن مُعَاوِيَة قَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ لَتُصَلُّونَ صَلَاةً لَقَدْ صَحِبْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَا رَأَيْنَاهُ يُصَلِّيهِمَا وَلَقَدْ نَهَى عَنْهُمَا يَعْنِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْر. رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ

Mu‘awiyah said: ‘You are performing a prayer that we, who accompanied the Messenger of God (peace be upon him), never saw him perform. He forbade them’—meaning the two rak‘ahs after the afternoon prayer. Al-Bukhari transmitted it.
