'Alqama narrated It on the authority of 'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) who said: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said the prayer; (the narrator added): He made some act of omission or commission when he pronounced salutation; it was said to him: Messenger of Allah, is there something new about the prayer? He (the Holy Prophet) said: What is it? They said: You said prayer in such and such away. He (the narrator) said: He (the Holy Prophet) turned his feet and faced the Qibla and performed two prostrations and then pronounced salutations, and then turned his face towards us and said: If there is anything new about prayer (new command from the Lord) I informed you of that. But I am a human being and I forget as you forget, so when I forget, remind me, and when any one of you is in doubt about his prayer. he should aim at what is correct and complete his prayer in that respect and then make two prostrations.

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported: The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said five rak'ahs of the noon prayer and when he completed the prayer, it was said to him: Has there been (commanded) an addition in prayer? He said: What is it? They said: You have said five rak'ahs, so he performed two prostrations.

Alqama reported: He (the Holy Prophet) had led them five rak'ahs in prayer.

Ibrahim bin Suwaid-reported: 'Alqama led us in the noon prayer and be offered five rak'ahs; when the prayer was complete, the people said to him: Abu Shibl, you have offered five rak'ahs. He said: No, I have not done that. They said: Yes (you said five rak'ahs). He (the narrator) said: And I was sitting in a corner among people and I was just a boy. I (also) said: Yes, you have offered five (rak'ahs). He said to me: O, one-eyed, do you say the same thing? I said: Yes. Upon this he turned (his face) and performed two prostrations and then gave salutations, and then reported 'Abdullah as saying: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) led us in prayer and offered five rak'ahs. And as he turned away the people began to whisper amongst themselves. He (the Holy Prophet) said: What is the matter with you? They said: Has the prayer been extended? He said: No. They said: You have in fact said five rak'ahs. He (the Holy Prophet) then turned his back (and faced the Qibla) and performed two prostrations and then gave salutations and further said: Verily I am a human being like you, I forget just as you forget. Ibn Numair made this addition: "When any one of you forgets, he must perform two prostrations."

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) led us five (rak'ahs in prayer). We said: Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been extended? He said: What is the matter? They said: You have said five (rak'ahs). He (the Holy Prophet) said: Verily I am a human being like you. I remember as you remember and I forget just as you forget. He then performed two prostrations as (compensation of) forgetfulness.

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said prayer and he omitted or committed (something). Ibrahim (one of the narrators of this hadith) said: It is my doubt, and it was said: Messenger of Allah, has there been any addition to the prayer? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Verily I am a human being like you. I forget just as you forget so when any one of you forgets, he must perform two prostrations, and he (the Holy Prophet) was sitting and then the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) turned (his face towards the Qibla) and performed two prostrations.

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud reported: The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) performed two prostrations for forgetfulness after salutation and talking.

'Abdullah reported: We prayed along with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace he upon him) and he committed or omitted (something). Ibrahim said: By Allah, this is a misgiving of mine only. We said: Messenger of Allah, is there something new about the prayer? He (the Holy Prophet) said: No. We told him about what he had done. He (the Holy Prophet) said: When a man commits or omits (something in prayer), he should perform two prostrations, and he then himself performed two prostrations.
