Sahih al-Bukhari 1228 (Book 22, Hadith 5) #1183
Mindfulness in Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of being mindful and attentive during prayer, as demonstrated by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

Narrated Abu Huraira.: Once Allah's Messenger offered two rak'at and finished his prayer. So Dhul-Yadain asked him, "Has the prayer been reduced or have you forgotten?" Allah's Messenger said, "Has Dhul-Yadain spoken the truth?" The people replied in the affirmative. Then Allah's Messenger stood up and offered the remaining two rak'at and performed Taslim, and then said Takbir and performed two prostrations like his usual prostrations, or a bit longer, and then got up.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ‏.‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ انْصَرَفَ مِنِ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ أَقُصِرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ نَعَمْ‏.‏ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَصَلَّى اثْنَتَيْنِ أُخْرَيَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of mindfulness and attention during prayer. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was asked if he had forgotten or reduced his prayer, to which he responded by asking if Dhul-Yadain spoke the truth. The people confirmed this, so he then stood up and completed his prayer with two more rak'ats. He performed Taslim, said Takbir, and performed two prostrations that were either longer than usual or similar to his usual prostrations. This shows us that we should be mindful when praying so that we do not forget any part of it or reduce it in any way. We should also pay attention to our prayers so that we can perform them properly according to Islamic teachings.
