Sunan Abi Dawud 1023 (Book 2, Hadith 634) #21315
Reminding the Prophet (PBUH) of His Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) forgot to offer one rak'ah of prayer, but was reminded by a man and offered the remaining rak'ah.

Narrated Mu'awiyah ibn Khudayj: One day the Messenger of Allah prayed and gave the salutation while a rak'ah of the prayer remained to be offered. A man went to him and said: You forgot to offer one rak'ah of prayer. Then he returned and entered the mosque and ordered Bilal (to utter the Iqamah). He uttered the Iqamah for prayer. He then led the people in one rak'ah of prayer. I stated it to the people. They asked me: Do you know who he was? I said: No, but I can recognise him if I see him. Then the man passed by me, I said: It is he. The people said: This is Talhah ibn Ubaydullah.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ - عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، أَنَّ سُوَيْدَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُدَيْجٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى يَوْمًا فَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ بَقِيَتْ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ رَكْعَةٌ فَأَدْرَكَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ نَسِيتَ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ رَكْعَةً فَرَجَعَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَأَمَرَ بِلاَلاً فَأَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ فَصَلَّى لِلنَّاسِ رَكْعَةً فَأَخْبَرْتُ بِذَلِكَ النَّاسَ ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا لِي أَتَعْرِفُ الرَّجُلَ قُلْتُ لاَ إِلاَّ أَنْ أَرَاهُ فَمَرَّ بِي فَقُلْتُ هَذَا هُوَ ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا هَذَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respectfully remind others if they forget something or make a mistake

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man named Talhah ibn Ubaydullah who noticed that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had forgotten to offer one rak’a of his prayer. He then went up to him and reminded him so he could complete his prayer. This shows us how important it is for us to remind each other when we forget something or make a mistake, as it can help us stay on track with our religious obligations. It also teaches us that we should be respectful when reminding someone else, as Talhah did not embarrass or scold the Prophet for forgetting but instead kindly reminded him in order for him to complete his prayer. We should also remember that even though the Prophet was infallible, he still made mistakes like any other human being and needed reminders from time to time just like everyone else does.
