Sunan an-Nasa'i 1229
أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْفَرْوِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ نَسِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَلَّمَ فِي سَجْدَتَيْنِ . فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ أَقُصِرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ " . قَالُوا نَعَمْ . فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَتَمَّ الصَّلاَةَ .
Harun ibn Musa al-Farawi reported to us; he said: Abu Damrah reported to me, from Yunus, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Abu Salamah informed me, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forgot and said the taslim after two prostrations. Dhul-Shimalayn said to him: “Has the prayer been shortened, or did you forget, O Messenger of Allah?” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Is Dhul-Yadayn telling the truth?” They said: “Yes.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood and completed the prayer.
Translation notes
The Arabic reads “after two prostrations”; this wording is retained.
قَالَ نَسِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَلَّمَ فِي سَجْدَتَيْنِ .
The Arabic wording is فَسَلَّمَ فِي سَجْدَتَيْنِ (“he said the taslim after two prostrations”), while the English witness says “after two rak‘ahs.”
Should the Arabic wording “two prostrations” be retained, or is this a source-text error intended to read “two rak‘ahs”?
