Sahih al-Bukhari 641 (Book 10, Hadith 38) #618
Praying After Sunset

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed the 'Asr prayer after the sun had set, even though it was past the time for a fasting person to break their fast.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: On the day of Al-Khandaq (the trench), 'Umar bin Al-Khattab went to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Messenger ! By Allah, I could not pray (the 'Asr) till the sun had set"'.Umar told this to the Prophet at the time when a fasting person had done Iftar (taken his meals). The Prophet then went to Buthan and I was with him. He performed ablution and offered the 'Asr prayer after the sun had set and then the Maghrib prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَنَا جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ جَاءَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَوْمَ الْخَنْدَقِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَاللَّهِ مَا كِدْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ حَتَّى كَادَتِ الشَّمْسُ تَغْرُبُ، وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ وَاللَّهِ مَا صَلَّيْتُهَا ‏"‏ فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى ـ يَعْنِي الْعَصْرَ ـ بَعْدَ مَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا الْمَغْرِبَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Umar bin Al-Khattab went to the Prophet and told him that he could not pray until after sunset. The Prophet then went to Buthan and performed ablution and offered his Asr prayer after sunset, followed by Maghrib prayer. This teaches us that we should always strive to fulfill our religious obligations, even if it means doing them late or outside of their usual time frame. We should also be mindful of our actions and try not to miss any prayers or other religious duties due to negligence or forgetfulness. Additionally, this hadith shows us that Allah is forgiving and merciful; He will accept our prayers even if they are done late due to circumstances beyond our control.
