حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِحْدَى صَلَاتَيِ الْعَشِيِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى خَشَبَةٍ كَانَتْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَيْهَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخَرَجَ سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ يَقُولُونَ:‏‏‏‏ قَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهَابَاهُ أَنْ يَقُولَا لَهُ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفِي الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ طَوِيلُ الْيَدَيْنِ يُسَمَّى ذَا الْيَدَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمْ تَقْصُرْ وَلَمْ أَنْسَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّمَا صَلَّيْتَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَكَمَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ .

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led us in one of the afternoon prayers, and he prayed two Rak’ah, then he said the Salam. Then he stood up and went to a piece of wood in the mosque, and leaned against it. Those who were in a hurry left the mosque, saying that the prayer had been shortened. Among the people were Abu Bakr and ‘Umar رضی اللہ عنہما , but they dared not say anything. Among the people there was also a man with long hands who was called Dhul- Yadain. He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been shortened or did you forget?’ He said: ‘It has not been shortened and I did not forget.’ He said: ‘But you prayed two Rak’ah.’ He said: ‘Is what Dhul- Yadain says true?’ They said: ‘Yes.’ So he went forward and performed two Rak’ah and said the Salam, then he prostrated twice, and then he said the Salam again.”
