أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْأَشْعَثِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ زُرَيْعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّائُ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُهَلَّبِ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ثَلَاثِ رَکَعَاتٍ مِنْ الْعَصْرِ فَدَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْخِرْبَاقُ فَقَالَ يَعْنِي نَقَصَتْ الصَّلَاةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَخَرَجَ مُغْضَبًا يَجُرُّ رِدَائَهُ فَقَالَ أَصَدَقَ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّی تِلْکَ الرَّکْعَةَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْهَا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1242
It was narrated that ‘Imran bin Hussain said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said the Salam after three Rak’ahs of ‘Asr, then he entered his house. A man called Al-Khibaq stood up and said: ‘Has the prayer been shortened, Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم?’ He came out angry, dragging his upper garment and said: ‘Is he speaking the truth?’ They said: ‘Yes.’ So he stood and prayed that Rak’ah, then he said the Salam, then prostrated twice, then he said the Salam (again).” (Sahih)
