٤٥٨١ - حدثنا ابن فضيل عن حصين عن عكرمة قال: صلى النبي ﷺ بالناس ثلاث ركعات ثم انصرف فقال له بعض القوم: حدث في الصلاة شيء؟ قال: "وَمَا ذَاكَ؟) قالوا: لم تصل إلا ثلاث ركعات، فقال: "أَكَذَلِكَ يَا ذَا الْيَدَيْنِ؟ " وكان يسمى (ذا) (١) الشمالين قال: نعم قال: فصلى ركعة وسجد سجدتين (٢).
Hazrat Ikrimah narrates that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in prayer of three rak‘ahs and then concluded the prayer with salam. So a man said, "Has a new command regarding prayer been revealed?" The Prophet asked, "Why, what happened?" The people said, "You have led only three rak‘ahs." The Prophet asked, "O Dhu’l-Yadayn! (he was also called Dhu’l-Shimalayn), did this really happen?" He replied, "Yes." Upon this, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) led one more rak‘ah in prayer and then performed two prostrations.
