Sahu. He replied, "It is not (mentioned) in Abu Huraira's narration . "

Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered two rak`at and finished his prayer. So Dhul-Yadain asked him, "Has the
prayer been reduced or have you forgotten?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Has Dhul-Yadain spoken the
truth?" The people replied in the affirmative. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up and offered the remaining
two rak`at and performed Taslim, and then said Takbir and performed two prostrations like his usual
prostrations, or a bit longer, and then got up.

The Prophet (ﷺ) offered one of the evening prayers (the sub-narrator Muhammad said, "I think that it was
most probably the `Asr prayer") and he finished it after offering two rak`at only. He then stood near a
price of wood in front of the Mosque and put his hand over it. Abu Bakr and `Umar were amongst
those who were present, but they dared not talk to him about that (because of excessive respect for
him), and those who were in a hurry went out. They said, "Has the prayer been reduced?" A man who
was called Dhul-Yadain by the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the Prophet), "Has the prayer been reduced or have
you forgotten?" He said, "Neither have I forgotten, nor has the prayer been reduced." He said,
"Certainly you have forgotten." So the Prophet (ﷺ) offered two more rak`at and performed Taslim and
then said Takbir and performed a prostration of Sahu like his ordinary prostration or a bit longer and
then raised his head and said Takbir and then put his head down and performed a prostration like his
ordinary prostration or a bit longer, and then raised his head and said Takbir.
