Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Ibn al-Qasim)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the ‘Asr prayer and ended the prayer with salam after two rak‘ahs. Then Dhu’l-Yadayn (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and asked: “O Messenger of Allah! Has the prayer been shortened or did you forget?” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Neither of these has happened.” Dhu’l-Yadayn said: “O Messenger of Allah! Certainly, one of these two things has happened.” So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards the people and asked: “Did Dhu’l-Yadayn speak the truth?” The people said: “Yes.” So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the remaining prayer, then after the salam, while sitting, performed two prostrations.
