Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet ﷺ offered one of the evening prayers the sub-narrator Muhammad said; I think that it was most probably the Asr prayer and he finished it after offering two rakat only. He then stood near a price of wood in front of the Masjid and put his hand over it. Abu Bakr and Umar were amongst those who were present; but they dared not talk to him about that because of excessive respect for him ; and those who were in a hurry went out. They said; Has the prayer been reduced? A man who was called Dhu AlYadain by the Prophet ﷺ said to the Prophet ; Has the prayer been reduced or have you forgotten? He said; Neither have I forgotten; nor has the prayer been reduced. He said; Certainly you have forgotten. So the Prophet ﷺ offered two more rakat and performed Taslim and then said Takbir and performed a prostration of Sahu like his ordinary prostration or a bit longer and then raised his head and said Takbir and then put his head down and performed a prostration like his ordinary prostration or a bit longer; and then raised his head and said Takbir.
