2. Book of Ṣalāh
٢۔ كِتَابُ الصَّلَاةِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed one of the evening prayers, then he performed two additional units of prayer, and then he said the salaam and stood on a wooden platform inside the mosque. He placed his hand on it, and said, "Yazeed and Ibn Awun showed us this." He placed one hand on the other, with the upper hand on the lower one and entered his upper fingers into the lower fingers, pressing them together, and he stood as if he was angry. Immediately, some people left and began saying, "The prayer has been shortened, the prayer has been shortened." Among the people were Abu Bakr and Umar, but they did not speak. Among the people, there was a tall man with long arms named Dhu al-Yadayn (the one with two hands), who said, "O Messenger of Allah, did you forget the prayer or was it shortened?" He ﷺ said, "I did not forget, nor was the prayer shortened." He said, "Is it like that?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Then he returned and completed what remained, then said the salaam and pronounced the takbeer. He prostrated for a long time, then raised his head and pronounced the takbeer, and prostrated again as he did the first time, then raised his head and left."
صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِحْدَى صَلَاتَيِ الْعَشِيِّ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَقَامَ إِلَى خَشَبَةٍ مُعْتَرِضَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ يَزِيدُ وَأَرَانَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْأُخْرَى وَأَدْخَلَ أَصَابِعَهُ الْعُلْيَا فِي السُّفْلَى وَاضِعًا وَقَامَ كَأَنَّهُ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ السَّرَعَانُ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَجَعَلُوا يَقُولُونَ قُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمَا وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ طَوِيلُ الْيَدَيْنِ يُسَمَّى ذُا الْيَدَيْنِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَسِيتَ الصَّلَاةَ أَمْ قُصِرَتْ؟ فَقَالَ «مَا نَسِيتُ وَلَا قُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ» فَقَالَ «أَوَ كَذَلِكَ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ فَأَتَمَّ مَا بَقِيَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَكَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَكَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ مَا سَجَدَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَانْصَرَفَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Dhuhr or Asr prayer, and then he performed the tasleem after two units of one of them. Zul-Shimalayn ibn 'Abd Amr ibn Nadlah al-Khuzai, who was an ally of the Banu Zuhrah and shorter than others, said to him, "Did you shorten the prayer, O Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "I did not forget nor did I shorten." Then Zul-Shimalayn said, "Some of us saw you doing so, O Messenger of Allah." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to the people and said, "Who do you believe, the one with two hands?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and completed the prayer, and no one among them informed me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed two prostrations while sitting in that prayer. And this is what is witnessed, and Allah knows best, as people were content with the certainty of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until they were certain.
صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ فَسَلَّمَ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نَضْلَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ وَهُوَ حَلِيفُ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ أَقُصِرَتْ أَمْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَمْ أَنْسَ وَلَمْ تُقْصَرْ» فَقَالَ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ قَدْ كَانَ بَعْضُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ «أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ وَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةِ وَذَلِكَ فِيمَا يُرَى وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يَقَّنُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَنَ
[Machine] From the Prophet of Allah ﷺ , it is narrated that he prayed five units of the Dhuhr prayer. When asked about it, he performed two additional prostrations.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ اللَّهُ ﷺ «أَنَّهُ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ خَمْسًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ»
