On the day of Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench), the Prophet (ﷺ) said '(Let) Allah fill their (i.e. the infidels')
houses and graves with fire just as they have prevented us from offering the Middle Prayer (i.e. `Asr
prayer) till the sun had set."

When the clans were driven away, I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "From now onwards we will go to
attack them (i.e. the infidels) and they will not come to attack us, but we will go to them."

`Umar bin Al-Khattab came on the day of Al-Khandaq after the sun had set and he was abusing the
infidels of Quraish saying, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I was unable to offer the (`Asr) prayer till the sun was
about to set." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, I have not offered this (i.e. `Asr) prayer." So we came
down along with the Prophet (ﷺ) to Buthan where he performed ablution for the prayer and then we
performed the ablution for it. Then he offered the `Asr prayer after the sun had set, and after it he
offered the Maghrib prayer.
