أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ الرَّمَادِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أنبأ مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، وَأَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ فَسَهَا فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَانْصَرَفَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ ابْنُ عَبْدِ عَمْرٍو، وَكَانَ حَلِيفًا لِبَنِي زُهْرَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَخُفِّفَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟ " قَالُوا: صَدَقَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ قَالَ: فَأَتَمَّ بِهُمُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ نَقَصَ " قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ: ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ مَا فَرَغَ وَهَذَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُمْ ذَكَرُوا لَهُ سَجْدَتَيْهِ، وَقَدْ سَجَدَهُمَا حَتَّى أُخْبِرَ بِهِ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ، وَاخْتُلِفَ عَلَى ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ وَقَدْ ثَبَتَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، ثُمَّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَجَدَهُمَا.
(a) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the Zuhr or Asr prayer and gave the salam after two rak'ahs, so Dhu al-Shimalayn bin Abd Amr, who was an ally of Banu Zuhrah, said: "O Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been lightened, or have you forgotten?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is Dhu al-Yadayn saying?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "O Prophet of Allah, he is speaking the truth." He (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in completing the two rak'ahs that had been left.
(b) Imam al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) states that he (peace and blessings be upon him) then performed two prostrations after finishing.
(c) This hadith indicates that they did not mention the two prostrations, although he did perform those two prostrations, and he was informed about them.
(d) Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), and Sa'd bin Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) from Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), report that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the two prostrations of forgetfulness.
There is disagreement over the narration of Ibn Abi Dhi'b from Sa'id al-Maqburi from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding this story.
