[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , performed two units of the Dhuhr prayer, then he finished and said, "Did the prayer become shorter?" He then stood and performed two units of prayer, then finished and performed two prostrations. Abu Abdur-Rahman said to us, "I do not know anyone who mentioned this hadith from Abu Salamah, except Sa'd."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَقَالُوا «أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلِمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ» قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا ذَكَرَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ غَيْرَ سَعْدٍ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed one day and said the salam after two rak'ahs, then he left. Dhul-Shimalain caught up with him and said: "O Messenger of Alah, has the prayer been shortened or did you forget?" He said: "The prayer has not been shortened, and I did not forget." He said: "Yes, by the One Who sent you with the truth." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Is Dhul-Yadain speaking the truth?" They said: 'Yes.' So he led the people in praying two rak'ahs. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1228)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى يَوْمًا فَسَلَّمَ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَأَدْرَكَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَقَصَتْ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ فَقَالَ «لَمْ تَنْقُصِ الصَّلَاةُ وَلَمْ أَنَسَ» قَالَ بَلَى وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] While I was praying the Dhuhr prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished two units of prayer and stood up. Then, a man from the tribe of Sulaym stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, did you shorten the prayer or forget?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "I did not shorten it nor did I forget." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah, you only prayed two units." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What does the man with two hands say?" They replied, "Yes." So, he stood up and prayed two units of prayer with them.  

بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ فَسَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَمْ تُقْصَرْ وَلَمْ أَنَسَ» فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا صَلَّيْتَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَحَقٌّ مَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prayed with his companions and greeted them after two units (of prayer). A man known as "Dhul-Yadayn" (possessor of two hands) and he had long hands, said, "O Messenger of Allah, did the prayer become shorter or did you forget?" He ﷺ said, "The prayer did not become shorter and I did not forget." They asked, "What does Dhul-Yadayn say?" They said, "He told the truth." So he ﷺ prayed two units of prayer with them.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ فَسَلَّمَ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ وَكَانَ طَوِيلَ الْيَدَيْنِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ قَالَ «مَا قَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَمَا نَسِيتُ» قَالَ مَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟ قَالُوا صَدَقَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forgot and said the taslim after two rak'ahs. Dhul-Shimalain said to him: 'Has the prayer been shortened or did you forget, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Is Dhul-Yadain speaking the truth?' They said: "Yes." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and completed the prayer." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1229)  

نَسِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمَ فِي سَجْدَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Dhuhr or Asr prayer and then performed the salaam after two rak'ahs. Ibn 'Amr said to him, "Did the prayer decrease or did you forget?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "What does the one with two hands say?" They replied, "You speak the truth, O Prophet of Allah." He then completed the two rak'ahs that were diminished. Abu Dawood reported to us, he said, Ya'qub reported to us, he said, My father reported to us, from Salih, from Ibn Shihab, that Abu Bakr ibn Sulayman ibn Abi Hathmah informed him that he received information that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed two rak'ahs and then Ibn 'Amr commented to him about it. Ibn Shihab reported to me this news from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, from Abu Hurairah, he said, Abu Salamah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman and Abu Bakr ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith, who is Ibn Hisham, and 'Ubaidullah ibn 'Abdullah reported to us, Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Abd al-Hakam reported to us, from Shu'ayb, from Layth, from 'Uqail, who said, Ibn Shihab reported to me from Sa'id, Abu Salamah, Abu Bakr ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, and Ibn Abi Hathmah reported to me from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not prostrate during that day before the salaam nor after it.  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ أَوِ الْعَصْرَ فَسَلَّمَ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ ابْنُ عَمْرٍو أَنَقَصَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟» قَالُوا صَدَقَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ فَأَتَمَّ بِهِمُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ نَقَصَ 571 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي هَذَا الْخَبَرَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِيهِ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ وَعُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ 572 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَأَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَابْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْجُدْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَبْلَ السَّلَامِ وَلَا بَعْدَهُ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the salam then he performed two prostrations of forgetfulness while he was still sitting, then he said the salam." He said: He mentioned it in the hadith of Dhul-Yadain. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1330)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ سَلِمَ» ذَكَرَهُ فِي حَدِيثِ ذِي الْيَدَيْنِ  

[Machine] That he heard Abu Hurairah saying, "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrated twice."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ «ثُمَّ سَجَدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَجْدَتَيْنِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prostrated on the Day of Dhul-Yadayn (Thursday), after the completion of the prayer, he performed two prostrations. 576 Amru bin Sawad informed us, saying, Ibn Wahb informed us, saying, Ibn Amr bin al-Harith narrated to us, saying, Qatadah reported to me from Muhammad bin Sirin, from Abu Hurairah, from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about its like.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «سَجَدَ يَوْمَ ذِي الْيَدَيْنِ سَجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ السَّلَامِ» 576 أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَادٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَتَادَةُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ  

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

"Abu Hurairah said: 'The Prophet ﷺ led us in one of the nighttime prayers.'" He said: "Abu Hurairah said: 'But I forgot (which one).' He said: 'He led us in praying two rak'ahs, then he said the taslim and went to a piece of wood that was lying in the masjid and leaned his hand on it as if he was angry. Those who were in a hurry left the masjid, and said: "The prayer has been shortened." Among the people were Abu Bakr and 'Umar but they hesitated to ask him for they revere him. Also among the people was a man with long hands who was known as Dhul-Yadain. He said: O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, did you forget or has the prayer been shortened? He said: I did not forget and the prayer has not been shortened. He said: Is it as Dhul-Yadain says? They said: yes. So he came and prayed what he had missed, then he said the salam, then he said the takbir and prostrated as usual or longer than that. Then he raised his head and said the takbir, and prostrated as usual or longer than that. Then he raised his head and said the takbir.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1224)  

قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ صَلَّى بِنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِحْدَى صَلَاتِي الْعَشِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَلَكِنِّي نَسِيتُ قَالَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى خَشَبَةٍ مَعْرُوضَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَيْهَا كَأَنَّهُ غَضْبَانُ وَخَرَجَتِ السَّرَعَانُ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالُوا قَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ فَهَابَا أَنْ يُكَلِّمَاهُ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ فِي يَدَيْهِ طُولٌ قَالَ وَكَانَ يُسَمَّى ذَا الْيَدَيْنِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَسِيتَ أَمْ قَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ فَقَالَ لَمْ أَنَسَ وَلَمْ تَقْصُرِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ قَالَ وَقَالَ «أَكَمَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَجَاءَ فَصَلَّى الَّذِي كَانَ تَرَكَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَكَبِّرَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَكَبَّرَ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the 'Asr prayer and gave salutation after two rak'ahs. Dhu'l-Yadain (the possessor of long arms) stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been shortened or have you forgotten? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Nothing like this has happened (neither the prayer has been shortened nor have I forgotten). He (Dhu'l-Yadain) said: Messenger of Allah, something has definitely happened. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned towards people and said: Is Dhu'l-Yadain true (in his assertion)? They said: Messenger of Allah, he is true. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ completed the rest of the prayer. and then performed two prostrations while he was sitting after salutation. (Using translation from Muslim 573c)  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ فَسَلَّمَ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَامَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ» فَقَالَ قَدْ كَانَ بَعْضُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ «أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟» فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ فَأَتَمَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ بَعْدَ التَّسْلِيمِ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the salam after three rak'ahs of 'Asr, then he entered his house. A man called Al-Khibaq stood up and said: 'Has the prayer been shortened, O Messenger of Allah?' He came out angry, dragging his upper garment and said: 'Is he speaking the truth?' They said: 'Yes.' So he stood and prayed that rak'ah, then he said the salam, then prostrated twice, then he said the salam (again)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1237)  

سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ ثَلَاثِ رَكَعَاتٍ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ فَدَخَلَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْخِرْبَاقُ فَقَالَ الصَّلَاةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَخَرَجَ مُغْضِبًا يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ فَقَالَ «أَصَدَقَ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى تِلْكَ الرَّكْعَةَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْهَا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ
