اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا بَانُوبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ بَانُوبَةَ الأَيْلِيُّ الأُبُلِّيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ الضَّالُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : " صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِحْدَى صَلاتَيِ الْعَشِيِّ الظُّهْرَ أَوِ الْعَصْرَ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ : ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ : أَقَصَرْتَ الصَّلاةَ أَمْ نَسِيتَ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : بَلْ نَسِيتُ ، فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ ، إِلا عُمَرُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، وَإِنَّمَا سُمَيَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ الضَّالَّ ، لأَنَّهُ ضَلَّ فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ فَفُقِدَ
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in one of the two afternoon prayers after the sun had passed its zenith, either Zuhr or Asr, and he ended the prayer after two rak‘ahs with salam. A man who was called Dhu’l-Yadayn said: O Messenger of Allah! Did you forget or has the prayer been shortened? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Rather, I forgot.” Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and prayed two rak‘ahs, then performed two prostrations of forgetfulness while sitting, and then he gave salam.

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."
