"I asked 'Aishah about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She said: 'He used to sleep during the first part of the night, then get up during the time before dawn and pray witr. Then he would go to his bed and if he needed to be intimate he would go to his wife. Then when he heard the Adhan he would get up, and if he was junub he would pour water over himself, otherwise he would perform wudu, then he would go out to the prayer.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1680)   

عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَالَتْ «كَانَ يَنَامُ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَإِذَا كَانَ مِنَ السَّحَرِ أَوْتَرَ ثُمَّ أَتَى فِرَاشَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةُ الْمَرْءِ بِأَهْلِهِ كَانَ فَإِذَا سَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ وَثَبَ فَإِنْ كَانَ جُنُبًا أَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ وَإِلَّا تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ»  

"He used to pray 'Isha, then he would recite tasbih, then after that he would pray whatever Allah (SWT) willed (he should pray) of night prayer. Then he would go and sleep for as long as he had prayed. Then he would get up from sleep and pray for as long as he had slept, and this last prayer of his would continue until dawn." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1628)   

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنْ صَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَالَتْ «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ ثُمَّ يُسَبِّحُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي بَعْدُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ فَيَرْقُدُ مِثْلَ مَا يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ يَسْتَيْقِظُ مِنْ نَوْمَتِهِ تِلْكَ فَيُصَلِّي مِثْلَ مَا نَامَ وَصَلَاتُهُ تِلْكَ الْآخِرَةُ تَكُونُ إِلَى الصُّبْحِ»  

[Machine] Regarding the prayer of the Prophet ﷺ at night, it is narrated that Aisha said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform two raka'ahs after Isha prayer, then he would sleep. His purification and toothbrush would be near his head. He would wake up, perform ablution, pray, and then perform two more raka'ahs. Then he would stand and pray eight raka'ahs, reciting equally in each of them. Afterward, he would perform the Witr prayer with the ninth raka'ah, followed by two raka'ahs while sitting. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Witr prayer and took the meat, he made the eight raka'ahs together as six. He then performed the Witr prayer with the seventh raka'ah, followed by two raka'ahs while sitting in which he recited "Say, O disbelievers" and "When the earth is shaken."  

عَنْ صَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَالَتْ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ تَجَوَّزَ بِرَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَنَامُ وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ طَهُورُهُ وَسِوَاكُهُ فَيَقُومُ فَيَتَسَوَّكُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ وَيُصَلِّي وَيَتَجَوَّزُ بِرَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ يُسَوِّي بَيْنَهُنَّ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ ثُمَّ يُوتِرُ بِالتَّاسِعَةِ وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَلَمَّا أَسَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَخَذَ اللَّحْمُ جَعَلَ الثَّمَانِ سِتًّا وَيُوتِرُ بِالسَّابِعَةِ وَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ يَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَإِذَا زُلْزِلَتْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O Abdullah ibn Amr, do not be like so-and-so, who used to stand in prayer at night and then left it." Abu Hatim said: "In this hadith is evidence for the permissibility of a person speaking behind someone's back if it is something that when the person hears it, they would be cautious or correct their behavior without denigrating the person being talked about in what was mentioned."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ « يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو لَا تَكُنْ مِثْلَ فُلَانٍ كَانَ يَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ فَتَرَكَ قِيَامَ اللَّيْلِ» قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ ؓ «فِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى إِبَاحَةِ قَوْلِ الْإِنْسَانِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ فِي الْإِنْسَانِ مَا إِذَا سَمِعَهُ اغْتَمَّ بِهِ إِذَا أَرَادَ هَذَا الْقَائِلُ بِهِ إِنْبَاهَ غَيْرِهِ دُونَ الْقَدْحِ فِي هَذَا الَّذِي قَالَ فِيهِ مَا قَالَ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: He who misses him daily round of recital or part of it due to sleep and he recites it between the dawn and the noon prayers, will be reckoned as if he recited it at night. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1313)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ نَامَ عَنْ حِزْبِهِ أَوْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ فَقَرَأَهُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ كُتِبَ لَهُ كَأَنَّمَا قَرَأَهُ بِاللَّيْلِ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to establish any deed that he performed." And she (Aisha) said, "Whenever he would sleep at night or fall ill during the day, he would pray twelve cycles (rak'ahs), and I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ staying up the whole night until morning, nor fasting for an entire month consecutively except during Ramadan."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا عَمِلَ عَمَلًا أَثْبَتَهُ» وَقَالَتْ «كَانَ إِذَا نَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ مَرِضَ صَلَّى بِالنَّهَارِ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ لَيْلَةً حَتَّى الصُّبْحِ وَلَا صَامَ شَهْرًا مُتَتَابِعًا إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ»  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not pray at night because he was prevented from doing so by sleep- meaning, sleep overwhelmed him- or by pain, he would pray twelve rak'ahs during the day. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1789)   

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا لَمْ يُصَلِّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَنَعَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ النَّوْمُ أَوْ غَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنَاهُ صَلَّى مِنَ النَّهَارِ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً»  

'A'isha reported that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ decided upon doing any act, he continued to do it, and when he slept at night or fell sick he observed twelve rak'ahs during the daytime. I am not aware of Messenger of Allah ﷺ observing prayer during the whole of the night till morning, or observing fast for a whole month continuously except that of Ramadan. (Using translation from Muslim 746f)  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا عَمِلَ عَمَلًا أَثْبَتَهُ وَكَانَ إِذَا نَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ مَرِضَ صَلَّى مِنَ النَّهَارِ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً» قَالَتْ «وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ لَيْلَةً حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ وَلَا صَامَ شَهْرًا مُتَتَابِعًا إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to establish his actions when he performed them. And when he would sleep at night or become sick, he would pray twelve rak'at during the day."  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا عَمِلَ عَمَلًا أَثْبَتَهُ وَكَانَ إِذَا نَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ مَرِضَ صَلَّى مِنَ النَّهَارِ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً»  

[Machine] "I have never seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stand (in prayer) throughout the night until morning, nor fast continuously for a month except in Ramadan."  

«وَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ لَيْلَةً حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ وَلَا صَامَ شَهْرًا مُتَتَابِعًا إِلَّا رَمَضَانَ»  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Whoever forgets a prayer, let him perform it when he remembers it.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 696)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ نَسِيَ صَلَاةً فَلْيُصَلِّهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "If anyone forgets a prayer he should pray that prayer when he remembers it. There is no expiation except to pray the same." Then he recited: "Establish prayer for My (i.e. Allah's) remembrance." (20.14). (Using translation from Bukhārī 597)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ نَسِيَ صَلَاةً فَلْيُصَلِّهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا لَا كَفَّارَةَ لَهَا إِلَّا ذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions missed a prayer due to sleep, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Pray it tomorrow at its designated time."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابَهُ لَمَّا نَامُوا عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «صَلُّوهَا الْغَدَ لِوَقْتِهَا»  

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a battle. When it was late at night, he got married. As soon as he woke up, he woke us up before the heat of the sun. The man stood up astonished and terrified. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Mount (your horses)." He mounted his horse and we mounted ours, and we set off until the sun rose. Then he stopped and ordered Bilal to call the Adhan. The people finished their needs, performed ablution, and prayed two Rak'ahs. Then he led us in prayer. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, should we make up these prayers at their prescribed time tomorrow?" He said, "Does your Lord forbid you from praying at the time of their occurrence and accept it from you?"  

سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ عَرَّسَ فَمَا اسْتَيْقَظَ حَتَّى أَيْقَظَنَا حَرُّ الشَّمْسِ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَقُومُ دَهِشًا فَزِعًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ارْكَبُوا» فَرَكِبَ وَرَكِبْنَا فَسَارَ حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَذَّنَ وَفَرَغَ الْقَوْمُ مِنْ حَاجَاتِهِمْ وَتَوَضَّؤُوا وَصَلَّوَا الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا نَقْضِيهَا لِوَقْتِهَا مِنَ الْغَدِ؟ قَالَ «يَنْهَاكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ عَنِ الرِّبَا وَيَقْبَلُهُ مِنْكُمْ؟ »  

"We stopped to camp at the end of the night with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and we did not wake up until the sun had risen. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Let each man take hold of his camel's head (and leave), for the Shaitan was here in this place with us.' We did that, then he called for water and performed Wudu', then he prayed two Rak'ahs, then the Iqamah was said and he prayed Al-Ghadah (Fajr)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 623)  

عَرَّسْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ نَسْتَيْقِظْ حَتَّى طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لِيَأْخُذْ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ بِرَأْسِ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَإِنَّ هَذَا لَمَنْزِلٌ حَضَرَنَا فِيهِ الشَّيْطَانُ» فَفَعَلْنَا فَدَعَا بِالْمَاءِ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ  

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ slept and missed the two Rak’ah before Fajr, so he made them up after the sun had risen. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1155)   

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَامَ عَنْ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ فَصَلَّاهَا بَعْدَمَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the afternoon prayer and then entered my house and prayed two units of prayer. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you prayed a prayer that you did not usually pray?" He said, "I was occupied by some wealth that came to me, so I missed those two units of prayer that I used to perform before the afternoon prayer, and I have now prayed them." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, should we make them up if we miss them?" He said, "No."  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ بَيْتِي فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّيْتَ صَلَاةً لَمْ تَكُنْ تُصَلِّيهَا فَقَالَ «قَدِمَ عَلَيَّ مَالٌ فَشَغَلَنِي عَنْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ كُنْتُ أَرْكَعُهُمَا قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ فَصَلَّيْتُهُمَا الْآنَ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَنَقْضِيهِمَا إِذَا فَاتَتْنَا؟ قَالَ «لَا»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ performed three units of prayer in the late afternoon (Asr) prayer. Al-Khirbaq, a companion, said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, did you forget or is the prayer shortened?" He ﷺ replied, "Has Al-Khirbaq spoken the truth?" They said, "Yes."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَلَّمَ فِي ثَلَاثِ رَكَعَاتٍ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْخِرْبَاقُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَسِيتَ أَمْ قُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَصَدَقَ الْخِرْبَاقُ؟ » فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed and did more or less (rak'ahs). When he had said the taslim, it was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, has there been some change concerning the prayer?' He said: 'If there had been some change concerning the prayer, I would have told you. Rather I am a human being and I forget as you forget. If any one of you is not sure about his prayer, let him consider an estimate of what is correct, and complete his prayer on that basis, then say the taslim and prostrate twice.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1242)   

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَزَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ حَدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ «لَوْ حَدَثَ شَيْءٌ لَنَبَّأْتُكُمُوهُ وَلَكِنْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ فَأَيُّكُمْ شَكَّ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَحْرَى ذَلِكَ إِلَى الصَّوَابِ فَلْيُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ»  

[Machine] About the Prophetﷺ that he prayed the noon prayer (Dhuhr) as five units. It was said to him, "Is there anything extra in the prayer?" The Prophetﷺ said, "What is that?" They said, "You prayed five units." Then he performed two additional prostrations after the prayer.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ خَمْسًا فَقِيلَ زِيدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ » قَالُوا إِنَّكَ صَلَّيْتَ خَمْسًا فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَمَا سَلَّمَ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "If any of you is doubtful about his prayer, let him correct it, then let him offer the salutation, and then let him prostrate twice."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَتَحَرَّ الصَّوَابَ ثُمَّ لْيُسَلِّمْ ثُمَّ لْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed and did more or less (rak'ahs). When he had said the taslim, it was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, has there been some change concerning the prayer?' He said: 'If there had been some change concerning the prayer, I would have told you. Rather I am a human being and I forget as you forget. If any one of you is not sure about his prayer, let him consider an estimate of what is correct, and complete his prayer on that basis, then say the taslim and prostrate twice.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1242)   

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَزَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ وَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ حَدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ «لَوْ حَدَثَ شَيْءٌ لَنَبَّأْتُكُمُوهُ وَلَكِنِّي إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ فَأَيُّكُمْ شَكَّ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَحْرَى ذَلِكَ إِلَى الصَّوَابِ وَلْيُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ لْيُسَلِّمْ وَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ»  

[Machine] "He prostrated twice and then Alqamah narrated from Abdullah, from the Prophet peace be upon him, something similar to that."  

« فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ» ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ عَلْقَمَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ  

The Prophet ﷺ prayed (and the sub-narrator Ibrahim said, "I do not know whether he prayed more or less than usual"), and when he had finished the prayers he was asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Has there been any change in the prayers?" He said, "What is it?' The people said, "You have prayed so much and so much." So the Prophet ﷺ bent his legs, faced the Qibla and performed two prostration's (of Sahu) and finished his prayers with Taslim (by turning his face to right and left saying: 'As-Salamu ʿAlaikum- Warahmat-ullah'). When he turned his face to us he said, "If there had been anything changed in the prayer, surely I would have informed you but I am a human being like you and liable to forget like you. So if I forget remind me and if anyone of you is doubtful about his prayer, he should follow what he thinks to be correct and complete his prayer accordingly and finish it and do two prostrations (of Sahu). (Using translation from Bukhārī 401)  

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةً قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَا أَدْرِي أَزَادَ نَقَصَ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ » قَالُوا صَلَّيْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَثَنَى رِجْلَهُ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ قَالَ «إِنَّهُ لَوْ حَدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ أَنْبَأْتُكُمْ بِهِ وَلَكِنِّي إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ فَإِذَا نَسِيتُ فَذَكِّرُونِي وَإِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَتَحَرَّ الصَّوَابَ وَلْيُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ لْيُسَلِّمْ ثُمَّ لْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you is in doubt about his prayer, and does not know how much he has prayed, three or four rak'ahs, he should pray one (additional) rak'ah and make two prostrations while sitting before giving the salutation. If the (additional) rak'ah which he prayed is the fifth one, he will make it an even number by these two prostrations. If it is the fourth one, the two prostrations will be a disgrace for the devil. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1026)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ ثَلَاثًا صَلَّى أَمْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَةً وَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ السَّلَامِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ ثَالِثَةً شَفَعَتْهَا السَّجْدَتَانِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ رَابِعَةً فَالسَّجْدَتَانِ تَرْغِيمٌ لِلشَّيْطَانِ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘If anyone of you is uncertain about his prayer, let him put aside uncertainty and act upon that which is certain. When he has made sure his prayer is complete, then let him prostrate twice. Then if his prayer was complete, that (extra) Rak’ah will be counted as voluntary, and if his prayer was lacking, that Rak’ah will complete his prayer, and the two prostrations will rub the Satan’s nose in the dust.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1210)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيُلْقِ الشَّكَّ وَلْيَبْنِ عَلَى الْيَقِينِ فَإِنِ اسْتَيْقَنَ التَّمَامَ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ تَامَّةً كَانَتِ الرَّكْعَةُ نَافِلَةً وَالسَّجْدَتَانِ نَافِلَةً وَإِنْ كَانَتْ نَاقِصَةً كَانَتِ الرَّكْعَةُ تَمَامًا لِصَلَاتِهِ وَالسَّجْدَتَانِ تُرْغِمَانِ أَنْفَ الشَّيْطَانِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you prays and does not remember whether they have prayed three or four (rak'ahs), they should perform two prostrations while sitting. And if one of you is approached by Satan and he says, 'You have done such and such,' they should say, 'I deny it, except what I heard with my ears or smelled with my nose.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ ثَلَاثًا صَلَّى أَمْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَإِذَا أَتَى أَحَدَكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ قَدْ أَحْدَثْتَ فَلْيَقُلْ كَذَبْتَ إِلَّا مَا سَمِعَ صَوْتَهُ بِأُذُنِهِ أَوْ وَجَدَ رِيحَهُ بِأَنْفِهِ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "When the Shaytan comes to one of you and says, 'You have done such and such,' let him say in himself, 'You are lying,' until he hears a voice in his ear or feels a foul smell with his nose."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدَكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ قَدْ أَحْدَثْتَ فَلْيَقُلْ فِي نَفْسِهِ كَذَبْتَ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا بِأُذُنِهِ أَوْ يَجِدَ رِيحًا بِأَنْفِهِ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘If anyone of you is uncertain about his prayer, let him put aside uncertainty and act upon that which is certain. When he has made sure his prayer is complete, then let him prostrate twice. Then if his prayer was complete, that (extra) Rak’ah will be counted as voluntary, and if his prayer was lacking, that Rak’ah will complete his prayer, and the two prostrations will rub the Satan’s nose in the dust.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1210)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيُلْقِ الشَّكَّ وَلْيَبْنِ عَلَى الْيَقِينِ فَإِنِ اسْتَيْقَنَ التَّمَامَ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَلَاتُهُ تَامَّةً كَانَتِ الرَّكْعَةُ نَافِلَةً وَالسَّجْدَتَانِ نَافِلَةً وَإِنْ كَانَتْ نَاقِصَةً كَانَتِ الرَّكْعَةُ تَمَامًا بِصَلَاتِهِ وَالسَّجْدَتَانِ تُرْغِمَانِ أَنْفَ الشَّيْطَانِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you is in doubt about his prayer, and does not know how much he has prayed, three or four rak'ahs, he should pray one (additional) rak'ah and make two prostrations while sitting before giving the salutation. If the (additional) rak'ah which he prayed is the fifth one, he will make it an even number by these two prostrations. If it is the fourth one, the two prostrations will be a disgrace for the devil. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1026)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ ثَلَاثًا صَلَّى أَمْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَةً وَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ السَّلَامِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ رَابِعَةً فَالسَّجْدَتَانِ تَرْغِيمًا لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ خَامِسَةً شَفَعَتْهَا السَّجْدَتَانِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If any one of you is in doubt about how many rak'ahs they have prayed, whether three or four, then they should stand up and perform a complete rak'ah, with its proper bowing and prostration, and then they should perform two prostrations while sitting. If they have already performed five rak'ahs, they should complete the prayer with these two prostrations. But if they have already performed four rak'ahs, these two prostrations are a form of humiliation for the devil."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ كَمْ صَلَّى ثَلَاثًا أَوْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيَقُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَةً يُتِمُّ رُكُوعَهَا وَسُجُودَهَا ثُمَّ يَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ صَلَّى خَمْسًا شَفَعَ بِالسَّجْدَتَيْنِ وَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ صَلَّى أَرْبَعًا كَانَتِ السَّجْدَتَانِ تَرْغِيمًا لِلشَّيْطَانِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ led them in prayer and forgot something, so he made prostrations and uttered the tashahhud, then gave the salutation. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1039)   

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمْ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدَ وَسَلَّمَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray three units of prayer before or after the noon or afternoon prayer. It was said to him: "Is that how you pray?" He replied, "Yes." So, he prayed one unit of prayer, then he sat and made the testimony of faith and salutation, then he prostrated twice for the forgetfulness, then he made the salutation.  

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  

[Machine] "I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the Maghrib prayer, then he inadvertently ended the prayer with only two units (instead of three) and made the salaam. A man said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, you made a mistake and ended the prayer after two units.' So he commanded Bilal to establish the prayer, and Bilal performed the remaining unit. I asked the people about the man who said to the Messenger of Allah, 'You made a mistake,' and they asked me, 'Do you know him?' I said, 'I don't know him except for seeing him,' and then a person passed by me and I said, 'He is the one,' and they said, 'This is Talhah ibn 'Ubaidullah.'"  

«صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَغْرِبَ فَسَهَا فَسَلَّمَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ سَهَوْتَ فَسَلَّمْتَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ «فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ ثُمَّ أَتَمَّ تِلْكَ الرَّكْعَةَ» وَسَأَلْتُ النَّاسَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ سَهَوْتَ فَقِيلَ لِي تَعْرِفُهُ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ أُرَاهُ وَمَرَّ بِي رَجُلٌ فَقُلْتُ هُوَ هَذَا فَقَالُوا هَذَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in one of the evening (‘Asha) prayers, noon or afternoon. He led us in two Rak’ahs and gave the salutation. He then got up going towards a piece of wood which was placed in the front part of the mosque. He placed his hands upon it, one on the other, looking from his face as if he were angry. The people came out hastily saying: the prayer has been shortened. Abu Bakr and ‘Umar were among the people, but they were too afraid to speak to him. A man whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would call “ the possessor of arms” (Dhu al-Yadain) stood up (asking him): Have you forgotten. The Messenger of Allah, or has the prayer been shortened? He said: I have neither forgotten nor has it been shortened. He said : Messenger of Allah , you have forgotten. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned towards the people and asked : did the possessor of arms speak the truth? They made a sign , that is, yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned to his place and prayed the remaining two Rak’ahs, then gave the salutation; he then uttered the takbir and prostrated himself as usual or prolonged. He then raised his head and uttered the takbir; then he uttered the takbir and made prostration as usual or made longer (prostration). Then he raised his head his and uttered the takbir (Allah is most great). The narrator Muhammad was asked : Did he give the salutation (while prostrating) dueto forgetfulness? He said : I do not remember it from Abu Hurairah. But we Are sure that ‘Imran b. Husain (in his version) said; he then gave the salutation. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1008)   

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِحْدَى صَلَاتَيِ الْعَشِيِّ وَأَظُنُّ أَنَّهَا الظُّهْرُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى خَشَبَةٍ فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهَا إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى وَخَرَجَ سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ وَقَالُوا قُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا فَهَابَا أَنْ يُكَلِّمَاهُ قَالَ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ إِمَّا قَصِيرُ الْيَدَيْنِ وَإِمَّا طَوِيلُهُمَا يُقَالُ لَهُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَقُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ «لَمْ تُقْصَرِ الصَّلَاةُ وَلَمْ أَنَسَ» فَقَالَ بَلْ نَسِيتَ فَقَالَ «أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟ » فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَكَبَّرَ قَالَ وَنُبِّئْتُ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ»  

Once Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the Zuhr prayer and got up (after the prostrations of the second rakʿa) although he should have sat (for the Tashahhud). So at the end of the prayer, he prostrated twice while sitting (prostrations of Sahu). (Using translation from Bukhārī 830)  

«صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ فَقَامَ وَعَلَيْهِ جُلُوسٌ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ صَلَاتِهِ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ»  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up for the two rak'ahs and the people stood up with him. When he sat down during the fourth rak'ah, the people waited for his tasleem (pronouncement of salaam) so they could complete their prayer. He said the takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) and then prostrated, then said the takbeer again and prostrated before pronouncing the tasleem."  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ فِي أَرْبَعٍ انْتَظَرَ النَّاسُ تَسْلِيمَهُ كَبَّرَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up in the noon prayer (though) he hadith sit (after the two rak'ahs). When he completed the prayer he performed two prostrations and said," Allah is the Most Great" in each prostration, while he was sitting before pronouncing salutation, and the people performed prostration along with him. That was a compensation for he had forgotten to observe jalsa (after two rak'ahs). (Using translation from Muslim 570b)  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِي صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ وَعَلَيْهِ جُلُوسٌ فَلَمَّا أَتَمَّ صَلَاتَهُ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ وَسَجَدَهُمَا النَّاسُ مَعَهُ مَكَانَ مَا نَسِيَ مِنَ الْجُلُوسِ»  

[Machine] "He informed him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood for two units of Dhuhr prayer without sitting down. After completing his prayer, he prostrated two prostrations and then he gave the salutation."  

أَخْبَرَهُ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِي ثِنْتَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ stood up to perform the prayer at the time of intercession, intending to sit afterwards. We glorified Allah while he went away. When he finished his prayer, he prostrated twice while sitting."  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى فَقَامَ فِي الشَّفْعِ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فَسَبَّحْنَا فَمَضَى فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed five prayers with them. When he finished, it was said to him that he did so. He then faced the Qibla, made two prostrations while he was sitting."  

«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمْ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قِيلَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, it was narrated that he prayed Dhuhr prayer five units. It was asked, "Was anything added in the prayer, O Messenger of Allah?" He ﷺ said, "What is that?" It was said, "Verily, you prayed five units, then you prostrated twice after making the salaam."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ خَمْسًا فَقِيلَ زِيدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ » قَالَ إِنَّكَ صَلَّيْتَ خَمْسًا فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَمَا سَلَّمَ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Zuhr or 'Asr and said the taslim following two rak'ahs and left. Dhul-Shimalain bin 'Amr said to him: 'Has the prayer been shortened or did you forget?" The Prophet ﷺ said: 'What is Dhul-Yadain saying?' They said: 'He is speaking the truth, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' So he led them in praying the two rak'ahs that he missed." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1230)   

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ أَوِ الْعَصْرَ فَسَلَّمَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ عَمْرٍو وَكَانَ حَلِيفًا لِبَنِي زُهْرَةَ أَخُفِّفَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟ » فَقَالُوا صَدَقَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأَتَمَّ بِهِمُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ نَقَصَهُمَا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished praying two rak'ahs,and Dhul-Yadain said to him: "Has the prayer been shortened or did you forget, O Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Is Dhul-Yadain speaking the truth?" The people said: "Yes." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and prayed two, then he said the takbir and prostrated as usual or longer than that. Then he raised his head, then he prostrated as usual or longer than that, then he sat up." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1225)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ انْصَرَفَ مِنَ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ أَقُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ» فَقَالَ النَّاسُ نَعَمْ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى اثْنَتَيْنِ أُخْرَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ  

The Prophet ﷺ named the two prostrations of forgetfulness disgraceful for the devil. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1025)  

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَمَّى سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ الْمُرْغِمَتَيْنِ»  

[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed with us a prayer in which he either added or omitted something. When he finished, we asked, "O messenger of Allah, did you introduce something new in the prayer?" He replied, "I did not introduce anything new in the prayer. However, I am a human being and I forget just as you forget. So if I forget, remind me, and if any one of you is unsure about his prayer, he should strive to do it correctly and then perform two prostrations."  

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةً زَادَ فِيهَا أَوْ نَقَصَ مِنْهَا فَلَمَّا أَتَمَّ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحَدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ فَثَنَى رِجْلَهُ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ « لَوْ حَدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ لَأَخْبَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ وَلَكِنْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ فَإِذَا نَسِيتُ فَذَكِّرُونِي وَإِذَا أَحَدُكُمْ شَكَّ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيَتَحَرَّى الصَّوَابَ وَلْيَبْنِ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ لْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ led them in prayer and forgot something, so he made prostrations and uttered the tashahhud, then gave the salutation. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1039)   

«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمْ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدَ وَسَلَّمَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed three units of prayer in the afternoon (Asr) prayer, and Al-Khirbaq said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, did you forget or was the prayer shortened?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Did Al-Khirbaq speak the truth?" They replied, "Yes."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَلَّمَ فِي ثَلَاثِ رَكَعَاتٍ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْخِرْبَاقُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَسِيتَ أَمْ قُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَصَدَقَ الْخِرْبَاقُ؟ » فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When any one of you gets up and prays, the Shaitan comes to him an confuses him until he does not know how many (Rak'ahs) he prayed. If any one of you notices that, let him prostrate twice when he is sitting." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1252)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَأْتِي الشَّيْطَانُ أَحَدَكُمْ وَهُوَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ لِيُلْبِسَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى لَا يَدْرِيَ كَمْ صَلَّى فَإِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Dhuhr or Asr prayer for us and then performed the greeting (salam) in two units (rak'ahs) of one of them. So, Zul-Shimalain bin 'Abd Amr bin Nadlah al-Khuzai, an ally of Banu Zahrah, asked him, "Did the prayer become shortened or did you forget, O Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I did not forget nor did I shorten it." So, Zul-Shimalain said, "Some of it was done like that, O Messenger of Allah." Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to the people and said, "Zul-Yadayn (meaning Zul-Shimalain) has spoken the truth." They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and completed the prayer.  

صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ فَسَلَّمَ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ أَحَدِهِمَا فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نَضْلَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ حَلِيفُ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ أَقُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَمْ أَنَسَ وَلَمْ تُقْصَرْ» فَقَالَ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ كَانَ بَعْضُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَقَالَ «أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ
