Sahih al-Bukhari 587 (Book 9, Hadith 62) #565
Forbidden Prayer

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade a certain prayer that Muawiya had seen people offering.

Narrated Muawiya: You offer a prayer which I did not see being offered by Allah's Messenger when we were in his company and he certainly had forbidden it (ie two rak'at after the 'Asr prayer).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُمْرَانَ بْنَ أَبَانَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لَتُصَلُّونَ صَلاَةً، لَقَدْ صَحِبْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَا رَأَيْنَاهُ يُصَلِّيهَا، وَلَقَدْ نَهَى عَنْهُمَا، يَعْنِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ‏.‏
