حَدَّثَنِى عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ - قَالَ عَمْرٌو حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ - حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ سِيرِينَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- إِحْدَى صَلاَتَىِ الْعَشِىِّ إِمَّا الظُّهْرَ وَإِمَّا الْعَصْرَ فَسَلَّمَ فِى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَتَى جِذْعًا فِى قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَاسْتَنَدَ إِلَيْهَا مُغْضَبًا وَفِى الْقَوْمِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ فَهَابَا أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَا وَخَرَجَ سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ قُصِرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَقَامَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقُصِرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ فَنَظَرَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَمِينًا وَشِمَالاً فَقَالَ « مَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ ». قَالُوا صَدَقَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ إِلاَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ. فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَرَفَعَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَرَفَعَ. قَالَ وَأُخْبِرْتُ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَسَلَّمَ.

It was narrated from Muhammad bin Sirin, that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) led us in one of the afternoon prayers, either Zuhr or 'Asr, and he said the Taslim after two Rak'ah. Then he went to a date-palm trunk in the Qiblah of the Masjid and leaned against it, looking angry. Among the people were Abu Bakr and 'Umar, but they were too afraid to speak. The people left quickly, saying that the prayer had been shortened. Then Dhul-Yadain stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been shortened or did you forget?' The Prophet (s.a.w) looked to his right and his left, then he said: 'What did Dhul-Yadain say?' They said: 'He is right, you only prayed two Rak'ah.' So he prayed two more Rak'ah and said the Taslim, then he said the Takbir and prostrated, then he said the Takbir and sat up, then he said the Takbir and prostrated, then he said Takbir and sat up." He said: "I was informed from 'Imran bin Husain that he said: "Then he said the Taslim (instead "and satup")."
