"أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ صَلَّى يَوْمًا فَسَلَّمَ في رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَأَدْرَكَهُ ذُو الَيَديْن فَقَالَ: يَا رسولَ الله! (أنقصتْ الصلاةُ أَمْ نَسيتَ؟ قَالَ: لَمْ تْنَقُصْ الصلاةُ ولم أَنَسَ، قَالَ: بَلَى والَّذِى بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ، فَقَالَ النَّبىُّ ﷺ أَصَدَقَ ذُو الَيَدْين (*) قَالُوا: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ".

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.
