399. Abū Hurairah narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ turned (finishing the prayer) after two (Rak'ah), so Dhul-Yadain said: 'Has the prayer been shortened or have you forgotten O Messenger of Allāh?' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Is what Dhul-Yadain said the truth?' The people said yes, so Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stood to perform the last two (Rak'ah) of Ṣalāt, then he said the Taslīm. Then he said the Takbīr and prostrated in a manner the same or longer than his (normal) prostrations." (Sahīh)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain, Ibn 'Umar, and Dhul-Yadain.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Ḥasan Ṣahīh Ḥadīth.
The people of knowledge differ over this Ḥadīth. Some of the people of Al-Kūfah said that when one speaks during the Ṣalāt forgetfully, or out of ignorance, or whatever the case, then he is to repeat the Ṣalāt, and they reason that this Ḥadīth was before talking was prohibited in the Ṣalāt.
[He said] As for Ash-Shāfi'i he considered this Ḥadīth correct and his view was in accordance with it.
He said: This is more correct than the Hadīth which was reported from the Prophet ﷺ about the fasting person who ate forgetfully, that he did not need to make it up, and that it is only provisions which Allāh has provided. Ash-Shāfi'i said: "These people differentiate between purposefully and forgetfully in the case of the fasting person who ate due to the Hadīth of Abū Hurairah."
Aḥmad said about the Hadīth of Abū Hurairah that if the Imām talks about something related to the Ṣalāt while he thinks that he has completed it, then he learns that he did not complete it, he is to complete his Ṣalāt. And whoever talks behind the Imām while he knows that he has some of the Ṣalāt remaining, then it is required for him to restart it. He argues that the obligations were still being added to or decreased during the time of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. So Dhul-Yadain only spoke when he was certain that he had completed his Ṣalāt. But this is not the case today, no one can talk about the topic that Dhul-Yadain talked about because today there can be no increase or decrease to the obligations. So Aḥmad said something similar to this, and Ishāq said what was similar to Aḥmad's saying about this topic.

Commentary
This issue is agreed; that if a person intentionally and deliberately talks in the prayer, and it has nothing to do with the correction and reform of the prayer, his prayer is annulled.
