Sahih al-Bukhari 1226 (Book 22, Hadith 3) #1181
Increasing Prayer Through Prostration

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) offered five rak'at in the Zuhr prayer and when asked about it, he performed two prostrations of Sahu after Taslim.

Narrated' 'Abdullah: Once Allah's Messenger offered five rak'at in the Zuhr prayer, and somebody asked him whether there was some increase in the prayer. Allah's Messenger said, "What is that?" He said, "You have offered five rak'at". So Allah's Messenger performed two prostrations of Sahu after Taslim.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ خَمْسًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَزِيدَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ وَمَا ذَاكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ صَلَّيْتَ خَمْسًا‏.‏ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ مَا سَلَّمَ‏.‏
