Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُفَضَّلُ بْنُ مُهَلْهَلٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، قَالَ صَلَّى عَلْقَمَةُ خَمْسًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلْتُ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ بِرَأْسِي بَلَى ‏.‏ قَالَ وَأَنْتَ يَا أَعْوَرُ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ حَدَّثَنَا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ صَلَّى خَمْسًا فَوَشْوَشَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالُوا لَهُ أَزِيدَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَثَنَى رِجْلَهُ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Rafi‘ reported to us; he said: Yahya ibn Adam narrated to me; he said: Mufaddal ibn Muhalhil reported to us, from al-Hasan ibn ‘Ubayd Allah, from Ibrahim ibn Suwayd, who said: ‘Alqamah prayed five rak‘ahs and was told so. He said: “I did not do that.” I nodded my head, “Yes, you did.” He said: “And you too, O one-eyed man?” I said: “Yes.” So he prostrated twice. Then he narrated to us from ‘Abd Allah, from the Prophet (ﷺ), that he prayed five rak‘ahs. The people whispered to one another and said to him: “Has something been added to the prayer?” He said: “No.” They informed him [that he had prayed five], so he folded his leg and prostrated twice. Then he said: “I am only a human being; I forget just as you forget.”
