Jami at-Tirmidhi 180 (Book 2, Hadith 32) #25745
Late for Asr Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Umar bin Al-Khattab were late for Asr prayer, so they prayed it after the sun had set.

Jabir bin Abdullah narrated: "On the Day of Al-Khandaq (the battle of the Trench), Umar bin Al-Khattab came cursing the disbelievers of Quraish and said: 'O Allah's Messenger! I could not offer he Asr prayer until the sun was about to set'. The Prophet said: 'By Allah! I too have not offered the Salat'." So he said: "We descended into Buthan, Allah's Messenger performed Wudu and we too performed Wudu. Allah's Messenger prayed Asr after the sun had set, then after it he prayed Maghrib".
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، بُنْدَارٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ وَجَعَلَ يَسُبُّ كُفَّارَ قُرَيْشٍ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كِدْتُ أُصَلِّي الْعَصْرَ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ وَاللَّهِ إِنْ صَلَّيْتُهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَنَزَلْنَا بُطْحَانَ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَتَوَضَّأْنَا فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْعَصْرَ بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا الْمَغْرِبَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of prayer in Islam. It tells us that even if we are running late for our prayers, we should still make an effort to pray them on time. Umar bin Al-Khattab was running late for his Asr prayer and he was worried that he would miss it. However, the Prophet Muhammad showed him that it is never too late to pray and they both performed their prayers after the sun had set. This teaches us that no matter how busy or distracted we may be in our lives, we should always make sure to take out time to pray and remember Allah SWT.
