\nNarrated Abu Huraira:\n \n\nThe Prophet (ﷺ) offered one of the evening prayers (the sub-narrator Muhammad said, "I think that it was \nmost probably the `Asr prayer") and he finished it after offering two rak`at only. He then stood near a \nprice of wood in front of the Mosque and put his hand over it. Abu Bakr and `Umar were amongst \nthose who were present, but they dared not talk to him about that (because of excessive respect for \nhim), and those who were in a hurry went out. They said, "Has the prayer been reduced?" A man who \nwas called Dhul-Yadain by the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the Prophet), "Has the prayer been reduced or have \nyou forgotten?" He said, "Neither have I forgotten, nor has the prayer been reduced." He said, \n"Certainly you have forgotten." So the Prophet (ﷺ) offered two more rak`at and performed Taslim and \nthen said Takbir and performed a prostration of Sahu like his ordinary prostration or a bit longer and \nthen raised his head and said Takbir and then put his head down and performed a prostration like his \nordinary prostration or a bit longer, and then raised his head and said Takbir.\n
