Abu Yunus, the freed slave of Aisha said: Aisha ordered me to transcribe a copy of the Quran for her and said: When you reach this verse: "Guard the prayers and the middle prayer" (ii. 238), inform me; so when I reached it, I informed her and she gave me dictation (like this): Guard the prayers and the middle prayer and the afternoon prayer, and stand up truly obedient to Allah. Aisha said: This is how I have heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .
