[1283] (...) It was narrated that Ibrâhîm bin Suwaid said: "Alqamah led us in prayer and prayed five (Rak'ah). When he said the Taslîm, the people said: 'O Abû Shibl, you prayed five (Rak'ah).'" He said: 'No, I did not.' They said: 'Yes you did.'" He (the narrator) said: "I was at the edge of the crowd and I was still a boy, but I said: 'Yes you did, you prayed five (Rak'ah).'" He said to me: 'You too, O one-eyed, you also say that?' I said: 'Yes.' So he went and prostrated twice, then he said the Taslîm. Then he said: "Abdullâh said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ led us in prayer and prayed five (Rak'ah), and when he finished, the people whispered amongst themselves. He said: 'What is the matter with you?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, has something been added to the prayer?' He said: 'No.' They said: 'But you prayed five (Rak'ah).'He went and prostrated twice, then he said the Taslim, [then] he said: 'I am human like you, I forget as you forget.'" Ibn Numair added in his report: "If any one of you forgets, let him prostrate twice."

(572) حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا عَلْقَمَةُ الظُّهْرَ خَمْسًا، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ، قَالَ الْقَوْمُ: يَا أَبَا شِبْلٍ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ خَمْسًا، قَالَ: كَلَّا، مَا فَعَلْتُ، قَالُوا: بَلَى، قَالَ: وَكُنْتُ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْقَوْمِ، وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ، فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ خَمْسًا، قَالَ لِي: وَأَنْتَ أَيْضًا، يَا أَعْوَرُ تَقُولُ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَانْفَتَلَ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: «صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَمْسًا»، فَلَمَّا انْفَتَلَ تَوَشْوَشَ الْقَوْمُ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَقَالَ «مَا شَأْنُكُمْ؟» قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ زِيدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ: «لَا»، قَالُوا: فَإِنَّكَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ خَمْسًا، فَانْفَتَلَ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ» وَزَادَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ «فَإِذَا نَسِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ»
