Performing Asr Salaah just before Maghrib azaan

Q:

1. I offered my Asr salah aproximately 30 seconds before the Maghrib Adhan. Will I have to repeat the prayer because I offered it in the forbidden time?

2. I did not have the niyyah of offering the prayer as qadha? Is it necessary to also specify in the niyyah that the prayer is qadha?

A:

1. No.

2. No.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
