حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ وَعَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْفَی أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ تَخَلَّفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَکَرَ هَذِهِ الْقِصَّةَ قَالَ فَأَتَيْنَا النَّاسَ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ يُصَلِّ بِهِمْ الصُّبْحَ فَلَمَّا رَأَی النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَأَخَّرَ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَمْضِيَ قَالَ فَصَلَّيْتُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَلْفَهُ رَکْعَةً فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّی الرَّکْعَةَ الَّتِي سُبِقَ بِهَا وَلَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ وَابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ وَابْنُ عُمَرَ يَقُولُونَ مَنْ أَدْرَکَ الْفَرْدَ مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ سَجْدَتَا السَّهْوِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 152
Al-Mughirah bin Shubah said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ lagged behind (in a journey). He then narrated this story saying: Then we came to people. Abdur-Rahman was leading them in the dawn prayer. When he perceived the presence of the Prophet ﷺ, he intended to retire. The Prophet ﷺ asked him to continue and I and the Prophet ﷺoffered one rak’ah of prayer behind him. When he had pronounced the salutation, the Prophet ﷺ got up and offered the rak’ah which had been finished before, and he made no addition to it. Abu Dawud said: Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, Ibn al-Zubair and Ibn Umar hold the opinion that whoever gets an odd number of the rak’ahs of prayer, he should perform two prostrations on account of forgetfulness.
