Sunan an-Nasai 1229 (Book 13, Hadith 51) #15837
The Importance of Reminding Others

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) forgot to complete his prayer and Dhul-Shimalain reminded him of it.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah forgot and said the taslim after two rak'ahs. Dhul-Shimalain said to him: 'Has the prayer been shortened or did you forget, O Messenger of Allah ?' The Messenger of Allah said: 'Is Dhul-Yadain speaking the truth?' They said: "Yes". So the Messenger of Allah stood up and completed the prayer".
أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْفَرْوِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو ضَمْرَةَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ نَسِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَسَلَّمَ فِي سَجْدَتَيْنِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الشِّمَالَيْنِ أَقُصِرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَصَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَأَتَمَّ الصَّلاَةَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Helping others when they forget something important

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of reminding others when they forget something. It was narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ forgot to say taslim after two rak'ahs in prayer. Dhul-Shimalain asked if he had forgotten or if the prayer had been shortened. When they confirmed that he had forgotten, the Prophet ﷺ stood up and completed his prayer. This teaches us that we should remind each other when someone forgets something important so that they can take corrective action as soon as possible. We should also be humble enough to accept reminders from others without feeling embarrassed or ashamed for forgetting something important.
