English translation

907 (A). Al-Miswar bin Yazīd Al-Mālikī narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once recited in the prayer, and left out something without reciting it. So a person said to him (after the prayer): "O Messenger of Allāh! You left out such and such a Verse!" The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Then why did you not remind me of it?" In his narration Sulaimān (one of the narrators)[1] added (that the man responded): "I presumed that it had been abrogated." (Hasan)

907 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى الْكَاهِلِيِّ، عَنِ الْمُسَوَّرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْأَسَدِيِّ الْمَالِكِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ يَحْيَى وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقْرَأُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَتَرَكَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَقْرَأْهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، تَرَكْتَ آيَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هَلَّا أَذْكَرْتَنِيهَا»، قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: قَالَ: «كُنْتُ أُرَاهَا نُسِخَتْ»، وَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ: قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ كَثِيرٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُسَوَّرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْأَسَدِيُّ الْمَالِكِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ زَبْرٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " صَلَّى صَلَاةً، فَقَرَأَ فِيهَا فَلُبِسَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ لِأُبَيٍّ: «أَصَلَّيْتَ مَعَنَا؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَمَا مَنَعَكَ»

Commentary

These narrations prove the allowance of correcting the Imām if something is not recited properly, and the validity of the Salāt if that was not known until after it. 907 (B). It was reported from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar that the Prophet ﷺ once prayed, and became confused (regarding the recitation). When he had finished, he said to Ubayy (bin Ka’b): “Did you pray with us?” He said: “Yes.” So he said: “Then what prevented you (from correcting me)?” (Hasan)
