Sunnah of the 'Asr Prayer
`Ali bin Abu Talib (May Allah be pleased with him)reported: The Prophet (PBUH) used to perform four Rak`ah before the `Asr prayer, separating them with Taslim (i.e., offering blessings) on the favourite angels who are near Allahs proximity and the Muslims and the believers who come after them.[At-Tirmidhi].


Commentary:
The phrase "separating them with Taslim" means that he would perform four Rak`ah in two couplets.

عنْ عليِّ بنِ أَبي طَالبٍ رضي اللَّه عنْهُ ، قالَ : كانَ النَّبي صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم يُصلِّي قَبْلَ العَصْرِ أَرْبَعَ رَكعَاتٍ ، يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَهُنَّ بِالتَّسْليمِ عَلى الملائِكَةِ المقربِينَ ، وَمَنْ تبِعَهُمْ مِنَ المسْلِمِين وَالمؤمِنِينَ . رواه الترمذي وقالَ : حديثٌ حسنٌ .
