Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Abu Bakr ibn
Sulayman ibn Abi Hathma said, "I have heard that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed two rakas of
one of the two day-ti me prayers, dhuhr or asr, and said the taslim
after two rakas. Dhu'sh-Shamalayn said to him, 'Has the prayer been
shortened, Messenger of Allah, or have you forgotten?' The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'The prayer
has not been shortened and I have not forgotten.' Dhu'shShamalayn
said, 'It was certainly one of those, Messenger of Allah.' The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
approached the people and said, 'Has Dh u'sh-Shamalayn spoken the
truth?' They said, 'Yes, Messenger of Allah,' and the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, completed what
remained of the prayer, and then said, 'Peace be upon you.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn
Yasar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "If you are uncertain in the prayer and do not know
whether you have prayed three or four rakas, then pray a raka and make
two prostrations from the sitting position before the taslim. If the
raka that you prayed was the fifth, then you make it even by these two
sajdas, and if it was the fourth, then the two prostrations spite
Shaytan."
