Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Qutaybah and Bishr ibn Muʿādh narrated to us; they said: Abū ʿAwānah narrated to us, from Qatādah, from Anas ibn Mālik, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever forgets a prayer, let him pray it when he remembers it.” There are also reports on this topic from Samurah and Abū Qatādah. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of Anas is hasan sahih. It is narrated from ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib that he said about a man who forgets a prayer: He should pray it whenever he remembers, whether during a prayer time or outside one. This was the view of al-Shāfiʿī, Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal, and Isḥāq. It is also narrated that Abū Bakrah slept through the ʿAṣr prayer and woke near sunset, but did not pray until the sun had set. Some scholars of Kūfah held this view. Our companions, however, followed the view of ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib, may Allah be pleased with him.
