did not pray the two Rak'ah before it, so I prayed them (now).The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ remained silent." (Sahih)

Commentary
a. The person referred to in the Hadith was the Companion Qais ﷺ himself. In this narration of the Hadith he is narrating the incident without mentioning his own name. In another narration of the Hadith contained in At-Tirmidhi he says that he himself was the person concerned.
b. The Prophet's remaining silent on the Companion's explanation amounts to his approval. For, as we know, the Prophet's abstaining from disapproving anything said or done before him means his approval, which is technically known as Sunnat At-Taqrir.
