أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ أَنَّ سُوَيْدَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُدَيْجٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّی يَوْمًا فَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ بَقِيَتْ مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ رَکْعَةٌ فَأَدْرَکَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ نَسِيتَ مِنْ الصَّلَاةِ رَکْعَةً فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلَّی لِلنَّاسِ رَکْعَةً فَأَخْبَرْتُ بِذَلِکَ النَّاسَ فَقَالُوا لِي أَتَعْرِفُ الرَّجُلَ قُلْتُ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ أَرَاهُ فَمَرَّ بِي فَقُلْتُ هَذَا هُوَ قَالُوا هَذَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 668
It was narrated that Muawiyah bin Hudaij that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم prayed one day and said the Taslimwhen there was still a Rak’ah left of the prayer. A man caught up with him and said: ‘You forgot a Rak’ah of the prayer!’ So he came back into the Masjid and told Bilal to call the Iqamah for prayer, then he led the people in praying one Rak’ah. I told the people about that and they said to me: ‘Do you know who that man was?’ I said: ‘No, not unless I see him.’ Then he passed by me and I said: ‘This is he.’ They said: ‘This is Talhah bin ‘Ubaidullah.” (Sahih)
