[Machine] 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
