قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ: حَدَّثَنِي نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي مَعْدِيُّ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ مُطَيْرًا لِأَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ حَدِيثِ ذِي الْيَدَيْنِ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يُنْفِذُ الْحَدِيثَ مِنَ الْكِبَرِ فَقَالَ ابْنُهُ شُعَيْثٌ: بَلَى يَا أَبِه (١) ، حَدَّثَتْنِي أَنَّ ذَا الْيَدَيْنِ، لَقِيَكَ بِذِي خَشَبٍ، فَحَدَّثَكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ، ، اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى بِهِمْ إِحْدَى صَلَاتَيِ الْعَشِيِّ - وَهِيَ الْعَصْرُ - رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، فَخَرَجَ سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ وَفِي الْقَوْمِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، فَقَالَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ: أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ قَالَ: " مَا قَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَلَا نَسِيتُ " ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، فَقَالَ: " مَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟ " فَقَالَا: صَدَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ. فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَثَابَ النَّاسُ، وَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ (١) سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ (٢)، •

Translation

English translation

Ma'di bin Sulaiman says that once Mutair said to his son Shu'ayth bin Mutair, "How did I narrate that tradition to you?" Shu'ayth replied, "Father! You told me that at the place of Dhi Khushub, Dhul-Yadayn met you, and he told you that once the Prophet (peace be upon him) led the Zuhr or Asr prayer—most likely Asr—and ended the prayer after only two rak'ahs. The hasty people, seeing this, left the mosque saying that the prayer had been shortened. Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace be upon him) also stood up, and Abu Bakr and Umar followed behind him, when Dhul-Yadayn came from the front and said, 'O Messenger of Allah! Has the prayer been shortened or did you forget?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Neither has the prayer been shortened nor did I forget.' Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) turned towards the two Shaykhs and said, 'What is Dhul-Yadayn saying?' Both replied, 'O Messenger of Allah! He is speaking the truth.' So the Prophet (peace be upon him) returned, and the people also returned, and he led two more rak'ahs, and after saying salam, performed the prostration of forgetfulness (sajda sahw)."
