Mutayyir reported,

"How did I report it to you?"He replied, "Father, you told me that Dhul-Yadayn met you at Dhu Khushub and informed you that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led them in one of the two afternoon prayers, namely the Asr prayer. He prayed two rakahs, and the people who were quick to leave departed saying, 'The prayer has been shortened.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, and Abu Bakr and Umar followed him, both initiating speech. Then Dhul-Yadayn caught up with him and said, 'Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been shortened, has the prayer been shortened, or have you forgotten?' He replied, 'It has not been shortened, nor have I forgotten.' Then he turned to Abu Bakr and Umar and asked, 'What is Dhul-Yadayn saying?' They replied, 'He has spoken the truth, Messenger of Allah.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned, the people gathered back, and he prayed two rakahs, then gave the salam, then performed the two prostrations of forgetfulness."Abu Sulayman said, "I was told this six or seven years ago, then he gave the salam, and I am uncertain about that part, though it is what I best remember."

حدثنا عبد الله قال حدثني محمد بن المثنى قال حدثنا معدي بن سليمان قال حدثنا شعيث بن مطير

عن أبيه مطير ومطير حاضر يصدقه مقالته قال

كيف كنت أخبرتك قال يا أبتاه أخبرتني أنك لقيك ذو اليدين بذي خشب فأخبرك أن رسول الله ﷺ صلى بهم إحدى صلاتي العشي وهي العصر فصلى ركعتين وخرج سرعان الناس وهم يقولون أقصرت الصلاة فقام رسول الله ﷺ واتبعه أبو بكر وعمر رضي الله عنهما وهما مبتد فلحقه ذو اليدين فقال يا رسول الله أقصرت الصلاة أقصرت الصلاة أم نسيت فقال ما قصرت ولا نسيت ثم أقبل على أبي بكر وعمر رضي الله عنهما فقال ما يقول ذو اليدين فقالا صدق يا رسول الله فرجع رسول الله ﷺ وثاب الناس فصلى ركعتين ثم سلم ثم سجد سجدتي السهو قال أبو سليمان حدثت ست سنين أو سبع سنين ثم سلم وشككت فيه وهو أكثر حفظي
