Hadith 413:2
Abdullah ibn Ahmad said: Nasr ibn Ali narrated to me, saying: Ma’di ibn Sulayman informed me, saying: I came to Mutayr to ask him about the hadith of Dhu al-Yadayn. I came to him and asked him, and he was an old man whose hadith did not flow well due to old age. His son, Shu’ayth, said: "Yes, father, you narrated to me that Dhu al-Yadayn met you at Dhu Khashab, and he narrated to you that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prayed one of the two evening prayers with them—which is the Asr—for two rak'ahs, then he said the taslim. The hasty people left, and he said: "Has the prayer been shortened?" Among the people were Abu Bakr and Umar. Dhu al-Yadayn said: "Has the prayer been shortened, or have you forgotten?" He said: "The prayer has not been shortened, nor have I forgotten." Then he turned to Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said: "What is Dhu al-Yadayn saying?" They both said: "He has spoken the truth, O Messenger of Allah." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) returned, the people gathered, and he prayed two rak'ahs with them, then he said the taslim, then he performed the two prostrations of forgetfulness.
قال عبد الله بن أحمد: حدثني نصر بن علي، قال: أخبرني معدي بن سليمان، قال: أتيت مطيرا لأسأله عن حديث ذي اليدين، فأتيته فسألته فإذا هو شيخ كبير لا ينفذ الحديث من الكبر فقال ابنه شعيث: بلى يا أبه ، حدثتني أن ذا اليدين، لقيك بذي خشب، فحدثك أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى بهم إحدى صلاتي العشي - وهي العصر - ركعتين ثم سلم، فخرج سرعان الناس، فقال: أقصرت الصلاة؟ وفي القوم أبو بكر وعمر، فقال ذو اليدين: أقصرت الصلاة أم نسيت؟ قال: " ما قصرت الصلاة ولا نسيت " ثم أقبل على أبي بكر وعمر رضي الله عنهما، فقال: " ما يقول ذو اليدين؟ " فقالا: صدق يا رسول الله. فرجع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وثاب الناس، وصلى بهم ركعتين، ثم سلم، ثم سجد سجدتي السهو
