[1288] 97 - (573) It was narrated from Muḥammad bin Sīrīn, that Abū Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ led us in one of the afternoon prayers, either Zuhr or Asr, and he said the Taslīm after two Rak'ah. Then he went to a date- palm trunk in the Qiblah of the Masjid and leaned against it, looking angry. Among the people were Abû Bakr and 'Umar, but they were too afraid to speak. The people left quickly, saying that the prayer had been shortened. Then Dhul-Yadain stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, has the prayer been shortened or did you forget?' The Prophet ﷺ looked to his right and his left, then he said: 'What did Dhul-Yadain say?' They said: 'He is right, you only prayed two Rak'ah.' So he prayed two more Rak'ah and said the Taslim, then he said the Takbîr and prostrated, then he said the Takbîr and sat up, then he said the Takbîr and prostrated, then he said Takbîr and sat up." He said: "I was informed from 'Imrân bin Ḥuṣain that he said: "Then he said the Taslim (instead "and satup")."
