6051. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ led us in the Zuhr prayer, offering only two Rak'a and then (finished it) with Taslīm, went out in front of the mosque and stood there, putting his hand over a piece of wood. Abū Bakr and 'Umar were also present among the people on that day but dared not talk to him [about his Ṣalāt (prayer)]. And the hasty people went away, wondering, "Has As-Ṣalāt been shortened?" Amongst the people there was a man whom the Prophet ﷺ used to call Dhul-Yadain (the long-armed). He said, "O Allāh's Prophet! Have you forgotten or has As-Ṣalāt (prayer) been shortened?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Neither have I forgotten, nor has it been shortened." They (the people) said, "Surely, you have forgotten, O Allāh's Messenger!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Dhul-Yadain has told the truth." So the Prophet ﷺ got up and offered two (more) Rak'a and finished his Salāt (prayer) with Taslim. Then he said Takbir, performed a prostration of ordinary duration or longer, then he raised his head and said Takbir and performed another prostration of ordinary duration or longer, and then raised his head and said Takbir (i.e., he performed the two prostrations of Sahw, i.e., forgetfulness and finished with Taslim).
