Mukhtasar Bukhari

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led us in one of the two prayers after the sun had passed its zenith. He led us in two rak‘ahs and then said the salam. Then he stood by a piece of wood that was fixed in the mosque and leaned against it as if he was angry, and he placed his right hand on his left and interlaced his fingers (i.e., he inserted the fingers of one hand into those of the other), and he placed his right cheek on the back of his left palm. The hasty people left through the doors of the mosque. The companions said, “Has the prayer been shortened?” Among the people were Abu Bakr and ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), but they were afraid to speak to him. Among them was a man whose hands were long, and he was called Dhu’l-Yadayn. He said, “O Messenger of Allah! Did you forget, or has the prayer been shortened?” He said, “I did not forget, nor has the prayer been shortened (to my knowledge).” Then he (the Prophet) said (to the people), “Is it as Dhu’l-Yadayn says?” The people said, “Yes.” So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) moved forward and completed what he had left of the prayer. After that, he said the salam, then said the takbeer and performed a prostration like his usual prostrations or perhaps a little longer. Then he raised his head and said the takbeer, then said the takbeer again and performed another prostration like his usual prostrations or perhaps a little longer. Then he raised his head and said the takbeer, and then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said the salam.
