Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5142 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ once led a prayer
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ : صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - صَلَاةً ، قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ : لَا أَدْرِي أَزَادَ أَمْ نَقَصَ ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ ، قِيلَ لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، أَحَدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ قَالُوا : صَلَّيْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، قَالَ : فَثَنَى رِجْلَهُ ، وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ ، وَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ لَوْ حَدَثَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ أَنْبَأْتُكُمْ بِهِ ، وَلَكِنِّي إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ ، أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ ، فَإِذَا نَسِيتُ فَذَكِّرُونِي ، وَإِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَتَحَرَّ الصَّوَابَ فَلْيُتِمَّ عَلَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ ، ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ سَجْدَتَيْنِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) once led a prayer (Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I do not remember whether (Sayyiduna Abdullah said that) there was an addition in the prayer or a shortfall). When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had given the salam, he (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Has something new occurred in the rulings of the prayer?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "No, but what is the matter?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "You have prayed such-and-such." On hearing this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) folded his blessed feet, turned towards the qiblah, and performed two prostrations (of forgetfulness), and then gave the salam. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had given the salam, he turned towards us and said: "Had any new ruling been revealed concerning the prayer, I would certainly have informed you of it. But the truth is that I too am only a human being like you; I forget just as you forget, so when I forget, remind me. And when any one of you has a doubt in his prayer (about the number of rak'ahs and the like), let him aim for what is correct and complete his prayer on that basis, then give the salam, and after that perform two prostrations."
