📌كان المفضل بن فضالة إذا صلى عصر يوم الجمعة، خلا في ناحية المسجد وحده، فلا يزال يدعو حتى تغرب الشمس. (أخبار القضاة)
Whenever Fadl Ibn Fudālah prayed Asr prayer on a Friday, he'd seclude himself to a corner of the Masjid and will not cease to make supplication up until the sun had set.

[ _Akhbār al-Qadāt_]
