Sahih Muslim Book - 5, Hadith - 1290

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِى سُفْيَانَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ أَبِى أَحْمَدَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- صَلاَةَ الْعَصْرِ فَسَلَّمَ فِى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقَامَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَقُصِرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمْ نَسِيتَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ ». فَقَالَ قَدْ كَانَ بَعْضُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ « أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ ». فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. فَأَتَمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مَا بَقِىَ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ بَعْدَ التَّسْلِيمِ.

It was narrated that Abu Sufyan, the freed slave of Ibn Abi Ahmad, said: "I heard Abu Hurairah say: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) led us in praying 'Asr, then he said the Taslim after two Rak'ah. Dhul-Yadain stood up and said: "Has the prayer been shortened, O Messenger of Allah, or did you forget?" The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Neither." He said: "One of them has happened, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) turned to the people and said: "Is Dhul-Yadain telling the truth?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) completed what was left of the prayer, then he prostrated twice while he was sitting, after saying the Taslim."'
