[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 gave the salutation at the end of three rakahs in the afternoon prayer, then went into the apartment (according to the version of maslamah). A man called al-Khirbaq who had long arms got up and said ; has the prayer been shortened, Messenger of Allah ? He came out angrily trailing his cloak and said : Is he telling the truth ? they said; Yes. He then prayed that rakah, then gave the salutation, then made two prostrations, then gave the salutation. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1018)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed three Rak'ahs of Asr, then a man named Al-Khirbaq entered and stood before him. He had long hands. The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, you have shortened the prayer." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became angry and dragged his garment, then asked, "Is that true?" They said, "Yes." So, he stood up and performed that Rak'ah.
