that he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "(Moses) said, 'Call me not to
account for what I forget and be not hard upon me for my affair (with
you)' (18.73) the first excuse of Moses was his forgetfulness."

that Allah's Prophet led them in the Zuhr prayer and he offered either more or less rak`at, and it was
said to him, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! Has the prayer been reduced, or have you forgotten?" He asked,
"What is that?" They said, "You have prayed so many rak`at." So he performed with them two more
prostrations and said, "These two prostrations are to be performed by the person who does not know
whether he has prayed more or less (rak`at) in which case he should seek to follow what is right. And
then complete the rest (of the prayer) and perform two extra prostrations."

Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib that once he had a guest, so he told his
family (on the Day of Id-ul-Adha) that they should slaughter the
animal for sacrifice before he returned from the ('Id) prayer in order
that their guest could take his meal. So his family slaughtered (the
animal ) before the prayer. Then they mentioned that event to the
Prophet who ordered Al-Bara to slaughter another sacrifice. Al-Bara'
said to the Prophet (ﷺ) , "I have a young milch she-goat which is better
than two sheep for slaughtering." (The sub-narrator, Ibn 'Aun used to
say, "I don't know whether the permission (to slaughter a she-goat as
a sacrifice) was especially given to Al-Bara' or if it was in general
for all the Muslims.") (See Hadith No. 99, Vol. 2.)
