One day the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed and gave the salutation while a rak'ah of the prayer remained to be offered. A man went to him and said: You forgot to offer one rak'ah of prayer. Then he returned and entered the mosque and ordered Bilal (to utter the Iqamah). He uttered the Iqamah for prayer. He then led the people in one rak'ah of prayer. I stated it to the people. They asked me: Do you know who he was? I said: No, but I can recognise him if I see him. Then the man passed by me, I said: It is he. The people said: This is Talhah ibn Ubaydullah.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى يَوْمًا فَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ بَقِيَتْ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ رَكْعَةً فَأَدْرَكَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ نَسِيتُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ رَكْعَةً فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلَّى لِلنَّاسِ رَكْعَةً فَأَخْبَرْتُ بِذَلِكَ النَّاسَ فَقَالُوا لِي أَتَعْرِفُ الرَّجُلَ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ أُرَاهُ فَمَرَّ بِي فَقُلْتُ هَذَا هُوَ فَقَالُوا هُوَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ

'You forgot a Rak'ah of the prayer!' So he came back into the Masjid and told Bilal to call the Iqamah for prayer, then he led the people in praying one Rak'ah. I told the people about that and they said to me: 'Do you know who that man was?' I said: 'No, not unless I see him.'. Then he passed by me and I said: 'This is he.' They said: 'This is Talha bin 'Ubaidullah.'"

[Machine] I prayed the Maghrib prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He performed the tasleem after two units of prayer, then he left. A man said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, you made a mistake by performing the tasleem after two units of prayer." So he commanded Bilal to lead the prayer, and Bilal established the prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ completed that unit of prayer. I asked the people about the man who said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he made a mistake, and they said to me, "Do you know him?" I said, "I don't know him unless I see him." Then a man passed by me and I said, "This is him." They said, "This is Talhah ibn 'Ubaid Allah."
