حَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ الْخَزَّازُ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّی رَکْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقُصِرَتْ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1291
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) led us in the 'Asr prayer and gave salutation after two rak'ahs. Dhu'l-Yadain (the possessor of long arms) stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been shortened or have you forgotten? The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Nothing like this has happened (neither the prayer has been shortened nor have I forgotten). He (Dhu'l-Yadain) said: Messenger of Allah, something has definitely happened. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) turned towards people and said: Is Dhu'l-Yadain true (in his assertion)? They said: Messenger of Allah, he is true. Then the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) completed the rest of the prayer. and then performed two prostrations while he was sitting after salutation.
