[Machine] We were with Umar when we mentioned a man who was distracted during his prayer and did not know how much he had prayed. Umar asked, "Did you hear anything about this?" We replied, "No." Then, Abdur Rahman ibn Awf came and asked what we were discussing. We told him about the man who was distracted in his prayer and did not know how much he had prayed. Abdur Rahman ibn Awf said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say that if a person is distracted and does not know whether they have prayed two, three, or four units, they should consider the distraction as an addition and prostrate for two units." Muhammad ibn Ishaq said, "I met Husayn ibn Abdullah and mentioned this hadith to him. He asked if it was supported (with chains of narrators) and I said, 'No.' He then said, 'But Makhooul narrated it from Kurayb, from Ibn Abbas, from Abdur Rahman ibn Awf, from the Prophet ﷺ '." Al Muharibbi also narrated it from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, with a similar meaning as the narration of Ibn Ulayyah. This hadith has reached Husayn ibn Abdullah, who is weak in narration, except that he has a witness from the hadith of Makhooul. Abu Bakr ibn Al Harith Al Faqih informed us, who was informed by Abu Muhammad Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Ja'far, known as Abu Al Sheikh Al Asbahani, who was informed by Ahmad ibn Amr, meaning Ibn Abi Asim, who was informed by Sulaiman ibn Yusuf, who was informed by Abdullah ibn Waqid Al Harrani, who was informed by Abdur Rahman ibn Thabit ibn Thawban, from his father, from Makhooul. He mentioned this hadith similarly to the narration of Ibn Ishaq, from Makhooul, from Kurayb, from Ibn Abbas, from Abdur Rahman ibn Awf, from the Prophet ﷺ . It is also narrated from a different chain through Ibn Abbas.
