Abu Hurairah said: 'The Prophet (ﷺ) led us in one of the nighttime prayers.' He said: Abu Hurairah said: 'But I forgot (which one).' He said: 'He led us in praying two rak'ahs, then he said the taslim and went to a piece of wood that was lying in the masjid and leaned his hand on it as if he was angry. Those who were in a hurry left the masjid, and said: The prayer has been shortened. Among the people were Abu Bakr and 'Umar but they hesitated to ask him for they revere him. Also among the people was a man with long hands who was known as Dhul-Yadain. He said: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), did you forget or has the prayer been shortened? He said: I did not forget and the prayer has not been shortened. He said: Is it as Dhul-Yadain says? They said: yes. So he came and prayed what he had missed, then he said the salam, then he said the takbir and prostrated as usual or longer than that. Then he raised his head and said the takbir, and prostrated as usual or longer than that. Then he raised his head and said the takbir.'

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Muhammad bin 'Abdullah bin Al Mubarak Al Mukharrimi dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami Waki' dari Mis'ar dari Manshur dari Ibrahim dari 'Alqamah dari 'Abdullah dia berkata; Nabi Shallallallahu'alaihi wasallam bersabda: Jika salah seorang dari kalian ragu dalam shalatnya maka pedomanilah yang diyakini dan sujudlah dua kali setelah selesai.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished praying two rak'ahs,and Dhul-Yadain said to him: Has the prayer been shortened or did you forget, O Messenger of Allah? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Is Dhul-Yadain speaking the truth? The people said: Yes. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up and prayed two, then he said the takbir and prostrated as usual or longer than that. Then he raised his head, then he prostrated as usual or longer than that, then he sat up.

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Suwaid bin Nashr dia berkata; telah memberitakan kepada kami 'Abdullah dari Mis'ar dari Manshur dari Ibrahim dari 'Alqamah dari 'Abdullah dia berkata; 'Rasulullah Shalallah 'Alaihi Wa Sallam shalat lalu beliau menambah atau mengurangi (rakaat). Setelah selesai kami berkata; 'Wahai Rasulullah Shalallah 'Alaihi Wa Sallam apakah ada cara baru saat shalat? ' Beliau Shallallallahu'alaihi wasallam bersabda: 'Kalau ada cara baru saat shalat maka aku pasti memberitahu kalian akan tetapi aku adalah manusia biasa aku lupa sebagaimana lupa. Jadi siapa saja yang ragu dalam shalatnya maka lihatlah yang paling dekat dengan kebenaran lalu sempurnakanlah shalatnya kemudian salam dan sujud dua kali.
