1238. It was narrated that 'Imrân bin Ḥuṣain said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said the Salâm after three Rak'ahs of Asr, then he entered his house. A man called Al-Khibâq stood up and said: 'Has the prayer been shortened, O Messenger of Allâh?' He came out angry, dragging his upper garment and said: 'Is he speaking the truth?' They said: 'Yes.' So he stood and prayed that Rak'ah, then he said the Salâm, then prostrated twice, then he said the Salâm (again)." (Sahîh)

Commentary
The author's style shows that he considers the incident of this narration to be the same incident of Abû Hurairah's report, whereas there is some difference in detail between the two. In the preceding report, there is mention of greeting at the end of two units (of prayer). In this narration, greeting is described to have taken place at the end of three units. According to the former report, Allâh's Messenger ﷺ remained in the mosque and he did not go home. While according to this narration, he had already gone home. But both could be reconciled and explained. Or they could be attributed to the transmitters. They could probably be two separate incidents. In both of them the honorable Khirbâq is said to have drawn the Prophet's ﷺ attention.
