English Translation

Waki' narrated to us, from Zam'ah, meaning Ibn Salih al-Makki, from al-Zuhri, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, from Abu Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet ﷺ once prayed with his Companions the 'Asr prayer and gave the salam after two rak'ahs. Dhu al-Yadayn said to him: 'Has the prayer been shortened, or did you forget, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Neither was it shortened nor did I forget.' He said: 'Indeed you did.' So he asked the people and they confirmed it. He then prayed the remaining two rak'ahs and prostrated two prostrations of forgetfulness (sujud al-sahw).
