Sunan an-Nasa'i 874

Ismail ibn Masud informed us: Yazid ibn Zuray narrated to us: Shu‘bah narrated to us from Abu Ishaq, from Asim ibn Damrah, who said: We asked Ali about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, 'Which of you could manage it?' We replied, 'Even if we cannot manage it, we want to hear.' He said: When the sun reached a position on this side corresponding to its position on the other side at the time of the afternoon prayer, he prayed two rak‘ahs. When it reached the position corresponding to its position at noon, he prayed four rak‘ahs. He prayed four rak‘ahs before the noon prayer and two after it. He prayed four rak‘ahs before the afternoon prayer, separating every two rak‘ahs with a salutation, invoking peace upon the angels brought near, the prophets, and the believers and Muslims who follow them.
