The Prophet ﷺ prayed two rakʿat of Zuhr prayer (instead of four) and he was told that he had prayed two rakʿat only. Then he prayed two more rakʿat and finished them with the Taslim followed by two prostrations.

صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقِيلَ صَلَّيْتَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ

Abu Hurairah reported; The Prophet ﷺ offered the noon prayer and he gave the salutation at the end of two rakahs. He was asked. Has the prayer been shortened ? then he offered two rakahs of the prayer and made two prostrations (at the end of it).

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ فَسَلَّمَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ نَقَصَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ

"The Prophet (S) prayed five (Rakah) for Zuhr, so it was said to him: 'Has the prayer been added to, or have you merely forgotten?' So he (S) performed two prostrations after he had said the Salam."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ خَمْسًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَزِيدَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ مَا سَلَّمَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Zuhr with two rak'ahs, then said the salam. They said: "Has the prayer been shortened?" So he stood up and prayed two rak'ahs, then he said the salam, then he prostrated twice.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى صَلاَةَ الظُّهْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا أَقُصِرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَقَامَ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ

‘O Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been shortened or did you forget?’ He said: ‘It has not been shortened and I did not forget.’ He said: ‘But you prayed two Rak’ah.’ He said: ‘Is what Dhul-Yadain says true?’ They said: ‘Yes.’ So he went forward and performed two Rak’ah and said the Salam, then he prostrated twice for prostrations of forgetfulness.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَهَا فَسَلَّمَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ قَالَ مَا قَصُرَتْ وَمَا نَسِيتُ قَالَ إِنَّكَ صَلَّيْتَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَالَ أَكَمَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَتَقَدَّمَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَىِ السَّهْوِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Zuhr with two rak'ahs, then said the salam. They said: "Has the prayer been shortened?" So he stood up and prayed two rak'ahs, then he said the salam, then he prostrated twice. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1227)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ قَالُوا قَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ قَالَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ مَا سَلَّمَ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ prayed three units (rak'ahs) and then he said the salaam. It was said to him, so he stood up and prayed another unit, then he said the salaam. After that, he performed two prostrations while he was sitting.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَسَلَّمَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَةً فَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ

So, he asked the Prophet, ﷺ , and when he learned that what he said was true, he prayed one unit of prayer, then said the tasleem, then prostrated for two units of prayer, then said the tasleem.

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ أَوِ الْعَصْرَ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺيُقَالُ لَهُ الْخِرْبَاقُ أَقُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ فَسَأَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِذَا هُوَ كَمَا قَالَ قَالَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «أَكَذَلِكَ؟ » قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدَ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صلى الظهر ركعتين ثُمَّ سلم فسأله يعني بعض القوم أنقص من الصلاة؟ أَحسَبُهُ قال فصلى ركعتين ثُمَّ سلم ثُمَّ سجد سجدتين

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed either Dhuhr or Asr prayer with three units of prayer. Then, a man named Al-Khirbaaq said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, you only prayed three units of prayer." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him, "Is that how it seems to you?" They replied, "Yes." So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed one more unit of prayer, then made the testimony of faith, and concluded the prayer. Then, he performed two prostrations of forgetfulness.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ أَوِ الْعَصْرَ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْخِرْبَاقُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا صَلَّيْتَ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَقَالَ «أَكَذَاكَ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدَ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا «أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلِمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا ذَكَرَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ غَيْرَ سَعْدٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَامَ «فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ»

[AI] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed three units of either Dhuhr or Asr prayer, and a man known as Al-Khirbaq said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, you only prayed three units." He said, "Is that so?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Then he stood and prayed, then he prostrated, then he recited the Tashahhud and gave the greeting of peace, then he prostrated twice for forgetfulness, then he gave the greeting of peace. This is the correct narration, and Allah knows best."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ أَوِ الْعَصْرَ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْخِرْبَاقُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا صَلَّيْتَ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَالَ أَكَذَلِكَ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدَ وَسَلَّمَ وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ هَذَا هُوَ الصَّحِيحُ بِهَذَا اللَّفْظِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ

" أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ صَلَّى بالنَّاسِ رَكعَتَينِ فَسَهَا فَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُل يُقَالُ لَهُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ: نَقَصَتِ الصَّلاَةُ؛ فَقَالَ: لاَ، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ أُخْرَاوَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ".

"أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْن ثُمَ سَلَّمَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: انْقُصْ من الصَّلَاةِ، فَصَلَّى رَكعَتين أُخَراوَيْن فَسَلَّم، ثُمَ سَجَد سَجْدَتَيْن".
