Hadith # 1121
'Ali bin Abu Talib (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) used to perform two Rak'ah before the 'Asr prayer.
[Abu Dawud]
Commentary
We learn from this Hadith that one can also perform two Sunnah before 'Asr prayer. But Sheikh Al-Albani has stated that the word "two Rak'ah" occurring in this Hadith is rare. Four Rak'ah are secure and should, therefore, be preferred.
