English translation

1023. Mu'āwiyah bin Khudaij narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ once led them in prayer, and said the Taslīm while one Rak'ah was still remaining. A person caught up to him (after he had left) and said: "You have forgotten one Rak'ah of the prayer." So he returned, entered the Masjid, and ordered Bilāl to call the Iqāmah for the prayer. He then led the people for one Rak'ah. So I informed the people about this. They asked me: "Do you know the man (who informed him)?" I said: "No, but if I see him (I should recognize him)." The man then passed by me, and I said: "This is the man!" They said: "This is Ṭalḥah bin 'Ubaidullāh." (Saḥih)

1023 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، أَنَّ سُوَيْدَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُدَيْجٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى يَوْمًا فَسَلَّمَ، وَقَدْ بَقِيَتْ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ رَكْعَةٌ، فَأَدْرَكَهُ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: نَسِيتَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ رَكْعَةً، فَرَجَعَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ، وَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَأَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ، فَصَلَّى لِلنَّاسِ رَكْعَةً، " فَأَخْبَرْتُ بِذَلِكَ النَّاسَ، فَقَالُوا لِي: أَتَعْرِفُ الرَّجُلَ؟ قُلْتُ: لَا، إِلَّا أَنْ أَرَاهُ، فَمَرَّ بِي، فَقُلْتُ: هَذَا هُوَ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ "

Commentary

If the people have moved away and the error in prayer comes to their knowledge later, the Iqāmah should be called in order for people to line up in rows for prayer.
