حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِحْدَى صَلَاتَيِ الْعَشِيِّ الظُّهْرَ أَوِ الْعَصْرَ ، قَالَ : فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى خَشَبَةٍ فِي مُقَدَّمِ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَيْهِمَا إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى يُعْرَفُ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْغَضَبُ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ سَرْعَانُ النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ قُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قُصِرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَفِي النَّاسِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، وَعُمَرُ فَهَابَاهُ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَاهُ ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسَمِّيهِ : ذَا الْيَدَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنَسِيتَ أَمْ قُصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ؟ قَالَ : " لَمْ أَنْسَ ، وَلَمْ تُقْصَرِ الصَّلَاةُ " قَالَ : بَلْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ ؟ " فَأَوْمَئُوا ، أَيْ نَعَمْ ، " فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى مَقَامِهِ فَصَلَّى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْبَاقِيَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ وَكَبَّرَ ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ وَكَبَّرَ " . قَالَ : فَقِيلَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ : سَلَّمَ فِي السَّهْوِ ، فَقَالَ : لَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، وَلَكِنْ نُبِّئْتُ أَنَّ عِمْرَانَ بْنَ حُصَيْنٍ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ .
Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in one of the evening (Asha) prayers, noon or afternoon. He led us in two Rak’ahs and gave the salutation. He then got up going towards a piece of wood which was placed in the front part of the mosque. He placed his hands upon it, one on the other, looking from his face as if he were angry. The people came out hastily saying: the prayer has been shortened. Abu Bakr and Umar were among the people, but they were too afraid to speak to him. A man whom the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would call “ the possessor of arms” (Dhu al-Yadain) stood up (asking him): Have you forgotten. The Messenger of Allah, or has the prayer been shortened? He said: I have neither forgotten nor has it been shortened. He said: Messenger of Allah, you have forgotten. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned towards the people and asked: did the possessor of arms speak the truth? They made a sign, that is, yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned to his place and prayed the remaining two Rak’ahs, then gave the salutation; he then uttered the takbir and prostrated himself as usual or prolonged. He then raised his head and uttered the takbir; then he uttered the takbir and made prostration as usual or made longer (prostration). Then he raised his head his and uttered the takbir (Allah is most great). The narrator Muhammad was asked: Did he give the salutation (while prostrating) dueto forgetfulness? He said: I do not remember it from Abu Hurairah. But we Are sure that Imran bin Husain (in his version) said; he then gave the salutation.

1008. Commentary:
➊ The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) experienced forgetfulness on a few occasions so that the principles of the Shariah could be clarified for the Ummah.
➋ The name of Dhu’l-Yadayn (Dhul-Yadayn) is mentioned as (Khiraaq). And such nicknames, if not intended as disparagement, are permissible as a jest.
➌ Even if there are many mistakes (sahw) in the prayer, two prostrations (sajdah sahw) must still be performed, as in this hadith where he gave salam after two rak‘ahs, then left and spoke.
➍ A claim made due to forgetfulness is not counted as a lie.
➎ In the prostration of forgetfulness (sajdah sahw), there is also the takbir (saying “Allahu Akbar”) and the salam (salutation).
➏ Speaking out of forgetfulness does not invalidate the prayer, nor does giving salam out of the belief that the prayer is complete.
➐ In such a situation, it is correct to build upon the prayer; that is, the entire prayer does not need to be repeated, but only the remaining rak‘ahs should be performed and then two prostrations of forgetfulness (sajdah sahw) should be made.

Benefit:
In this hadith, it is mentioned that if the imam, due to forgetfulness, leads a prayer with fewer units (rak‘ahs), and later remembers himself or someone reminds him, then the missed rak‘ahs should be performed again in congregation, and the prostration of forgetfulness (sujud as-sahw) should be performed either before or after the salutation (salam).
From this, it is also established that the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was human.
If someone says that the imam has forgotten, then the imam should further investigate, and it is also established that it is correct to call a person with long hands "Dhul-Yadayn."
