1244. It was narrated that ‘Abdullâh said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed and did more or less (Rak’ahs). When he had said
the Salâm we said: 'O Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, has there been some change concerning the prayer?' He said: 'Why are you asking?' So we told him what he had done. He turned back toward the Qiblah and prostrated two prostrations of forgetfulness, then he turned to face us and said: 'If there had been some change concerning the prayer I would have told you.' Then he said: 'Rather I am a human being and I forget as you forget. If any one of you is not sure about his prayer, let him estimate what he thinks is correct, and complete his prayer on that basis, then say the Taslîm and prostrate two prostrations of forgetfulness.'"

Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ had actually mistakenly made an addition to the Zuhr prayer. In the situation of such surplus action, the above-mentioned method of prostration should be put into practice.
