ahmad:4282Ibn Idrīs > al-Ḥasan b. ʿUbaydullāh > Ibrāhīm > ʿAlqamah > ʿAbdullāh

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prayed five (units of prayer) with them, then he added an extra unit. Some people started whispering to each other, so they said to him, "O Messenger of Allah! You prayed five (units of prayer) and then added an extra unit." So he performed two prostrations with them and said, "I am only a human being, I forget just as you forget."  

أحمد:٤٢٨٢حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ يَذْكُرُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُمْ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمْ خَمْسًا ثُمَّ انْفَتَلَ فَجَعَلَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ يُوَشْوِشُ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالُوا لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّيْتَ خَمْسًا فَانْفَتَلَ فَسَجَدَ بِهِمْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ

Messenger of Allah, has (the number of the rak’ahs of) the prayer been increased ? he said : No. they said; you have offered five rak’ahs of prayer. He then turned away and performed two prostrations, and afterwards gave the salutation. He then said : I am only a human being, I forget, as you forget.
