Completing the prayer in place when one remembers what he missed
[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave salam after two rak‘ahs. Dhu al-Shimalayn of Khuza‘ah, an ally of Banu Zuhrah, said to him, “Has the prayer been shortened, or did you forget, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “Neither happened.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to the people and said: “Has Dhu al-Yadayn spoken the truth?” They said, “Yes.” So he completed what remained of his prayer, and he did not perform the two prostrations of forgetfulness when the people made him certain.
سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ، حَلِيفٌ لِبَنِي زُهْرَةَ: أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «كُلٌّ لَمْ يَكُنْ». فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: «أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟» قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، فَأَتَمَّ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ، وَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ حِينَ يَقَّنَهُ النَّاسُ.
