قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْدِيُّ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْثُ بْنُ مُطَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُطَيْرٍ ومُطَيْرٌ حَاضِرٌ يُصَدِّقُهُ مَقَالَتَهُ قَالَ كَيْفَ كُنْتُ أَخْبَرْتُكَ؟ قَالَ
يَا أَبَتَاهُ أَخْبَرْتَنِي أَنَّكَ لَقِيَكَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ بِذِي خَشَبٍ، فَأَخْبَرَكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمْ إِحْدَى صَلَاتَيِ الْعَشِيِّ - وَهِيَ الْعَصْرُ - فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَخَرَجَ سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ؟ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَاتَّبَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ ؓ، وَهُمَا مُبْتَدَّيْهِ، فَلَحِقَهُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ ؟ فَقَالَ: مَا قَصُرَتْ وَلَا نَسِيتُ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ فَقَالَ: مَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ ؟ فَقَالَا: صَدَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَثَابَ النَّاسُ، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ. قَالَ أَبُو سُلَيْمَانَ: حَدَّثْتُ سِتَّ سِنِينَ أَوْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ، ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ، وَشَكَكْتُ فِيهِ، وَهُوَ أَكْثَرُ حِفْظِي

✧ O my father, you told me that Dhu al-Yadayn met you at Dhu Khashab and informed you that the Messenger of God ﷺ prayed with them one of the two evening prayers—which is the afternoon prayer—and prayed two rak'ahs, and the swift among the people left saying: 'Has the prayer been shortened? Has the prayer been shortened?' The Messenger of God ﷺ stood up, and Abu Bakr and Umar ؓ followed him, and they were his close companions. Dhu al-Yadayn caught up with him and said: 'O Messenger of God, has the prayer been shortened, or did you forget?' He said: 'It has not been shortened, nor did I forget.' Then he turned to Abu Bakr and Umar ؓ and said: 'What does Dhu al-Yadayn say?' They said: 'He has spoken the truth, O Messenger of God.' So the Messenger of God ﷺ returned, and the people came back, and he prayed two rak'ahs, then he said the salam, then he prostrated the two prostrations of forgetfulness. Abu Sulayman said: 'I spoke for six or seven years, then he said the salam, and I was uncertain about it, and it is the stronger of my memory.'
