\n\n \nYahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Abu Bakr ibn\nSulayman ibn Abi Hathma said, "I have heard that the Messenger of\nAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed two rakas of\none of the two day-ti me prayers, dhuhr or asr, and said the taslim\nafter two rakas. Dhu'sh-Shamalayn said to him, 'Has the prayer been\nshortened, Messenger of Allah, or have you forgotten?' The Messenger\nof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'The prayer\nhas not been shortened and I have not forgotten.' Dhu'shShamalayn\nsaid, 'It was certainly one of those, Messenger of Allah.' The\nMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,\napproached the people and said, 'Has Dh u'sh-Shamalayn spoken the\ntruth?' They said, 'Yes, Messenger of Allah,' and the Messenger of\nAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, completed what\nremained of the prayer, and then said, 'Peace be upon you.' "\n\n

\nوَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ، قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ إِحْدَى صَلاَتَىِ النَّهَارِ - الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ - فَسَلَّمَ مِنَ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمْ نَسِيتَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَا قَصُرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ وَمَا نَسِيتُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ قَدْ كَانَ بَعْضُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَأَتَمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ‏.‏
