أَخْبَرَنَا
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي
اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي
يُونُسُ، عَنْ
ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي
ابْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ،
وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ،
وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ،
وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ
أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ أَوْ الْعَصْرِ، فَسَلَّمَ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ إِحْدَاهُمَا، فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نَضْلَةَ الْخُزَاعِيُّ، وَهُوَ حَلِيفُ بَنِي زُهْرَةَ: أَقُصِرَتْ أَمْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَمْ أَنْسَ، وَلَمْ تُقْصَرْ". فَقَالَ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ: قَدْ كَانَ بَعْضُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ: "أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ ؟"قَالُوا: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
"فَأَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ، وَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةِ"، وَذَلِكَ فِيمَا نُرَى وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يَقَّنُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى اسْتَيْقَنَ.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed either the Zuhr or Asr prayer, and in one of these prayers he ended the prayer after two rak‘ahs. So Dhu’l-Yadayn bin ‘Abd bin ‘Amr bin Nadhla Khuzā‘ī, who was an ally of Banu Zuhrah, said: O Messenger of Allah! Has the prayer been shortened or did you forget? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I did not forget, nor has the prayer been shortened.” Dhu’l-Yadayn said: There must be something, O Messenger of Allah. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned to the people and said: “Is Dhu’l-Yadayn speaking the truth?” They replied: Yes. Therefore, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and completed the prayer, and no narrator has told me that while sitting in that state, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed two prostrations in that prayer (this, in their opinion, and Allah knows best) because the people convinced him and he became certain that there had been a deficiency in the prayer (and only two rak‘ahs had been performed).
