[Machine] From his father, Muttir, and Muttir was present, confirming his story. He said, "How did I inform you?" He said, "O my father, you informed me that you met the man with two wooden hands, so you informed me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed two units of prayer with them during one of the evening prayers, and it was Asr prayer. Then, he quickly left with the people while they were saying, 'The prayer was shortened, the prayer was shortened.' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and Abu Bakr and Umar followed him, and they were both his first followers. Then, the man with two wooden hands caught up with him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the prayer was shortened, the prayer was shortened, or did you forget?' So, he said, 'The prayer was not shortened, and I did not forget.' Then, he turned to Abu Bakr and Umar and said, 'What does the man with two wooden hands say?' They said, 'He is speaking the truth, O Messenger of Allah.' So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned and the people were pleased, so he prayed two units of prayer, then he made the greeting (salam), then he prostrated for the two prostrations of forgetfulness. Abu Sulaiman said, 'I narrated this for six or seven years, then I made the greeting (salam), and I doubted it, while it was my most memorized (hadith).'"  

عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُطَيْرٍ ومُطَيْرٌ حَاضِرٌ يُصَدِّقُهُ مَقَالَتَهُ قَالَ كَيْفَ كُنْتُ أَخْبَرْتُكَ؟ قَالَ يَا أَبَتَاهُ أَخْبَرْتَنِي أَنَّكَ لَقِيَكَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ بِذِي خُشُبٍ فَأَخْبَرَكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمْ إِحْدَى صَلَاتَيِ الْعَشِيِّ وَهِيَ الْعَصْرُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَخَرَجَ سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَاتَّبَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَهُمَا مُبْتَديِه فَلَحِقَهُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ فَقَالَ مَا قَصُرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ وَلَا نَسِيتُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَقَالَ مَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟ فَقَالَا صَدَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَثَابَ النَّاسُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ قَالَ أَبُو سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثْتُ سِتَّ سِنِينَأَوْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَشَكَكْتُ فِيهِ وَهُوَ أَكْثَرُ حِفْظِي  

[Machine] From the hadith of Dhu Al-Yadayn, I approached him and asked him about it. He turned out to be an elderly sheikh who did not adhere to the limitations of old age in terms of narrating hadiths. Then his son, Shuayth, said, "Indeed, my father informed me that Dhu Al-Yadayn met you while you were carrying firewood. He told you that the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , performed two rak'ahs of the Isha prayer with them, then he performed the Asr prayer. Then he said the salaam and quickly left. People hurriedly followed him and said, 'Did the prayer become shorter?' Amongst them were Abu Bakr and Umar. Dhu Al-Yadayn said, 'Did the prayer become shorter or did you forget?' They replied, 'The prayer did not become shorter, and we did not forget.' Then he approached Abu Bakr and Umar and asked them, 'What did Dhu Al-Yadayn say?' They replied, 'You spoke the truth, O Messenger of Allah.' So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , returned, and the people were pleased, and he performed two rak'ahs with them, then said the salaam, and then performed the two prostrations of forgetfulness."  

عَنْ حَدِيثِ ذِي الْيَدَيْنِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يُنْفِذُ الْحَدِيثَ مِنَ الْكِبَرِ فَقَالَ ابْنُهُ شُعَيْثٌ بَلَى يَا أَبِه حَدَّثَتْنِي أَنَّ ذَا الْيَدَيْنِ لَقِيَكَ بِذِي خَشَبٍ فَحَدَّثَكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَاللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمْ إِحْدَى صَلَاتَيِ الْعَشِيِّ وَهِيَ الْعَصْرُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَخَرَجَ سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَقَالَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ قَالَ مَا قَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَلَا نَسِيتُ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَقَالَ مَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟ فَقَالَا صَدَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَثَابَ النَّاسُ وَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ  

[Machine] What was the status of Abu Bakr and Umar in relation to the Prophet ﷺ ? He said, "Their status is like that of the hour."  

مَا كَانَ مَنْزِلَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ كَمَنْزِلَتِهِمَا السَّاعَةَ
