Sunan Ibn Majah 1213 (Book 5, Hadith 411) #30565
Prostrations of Forgetfulness

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) forgot to say the Taslim after two Rakah and was reminded by a man called Dhul-Yadain. He then went forward and performed two more Rakah and said the Salam, followed by prostrations of forgetfulness.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah forgot and said the Taslim after two Rak’ah. A man who was called Dhul-Yadain said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been shortened or did you forget?’ He said: 'It has not been shortened and I did not forget.’ He said: 'But you prayed two Rak’ah.’ He said: 'Is what Dhul-Yadain says true?’ They said: 'Yes.’ So he went forward and performed two Rak’ah and said the Salam, then he prostrated twice for prostrations of forgetfulness.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ سَهَا فَسَلَّمَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ أَمْ نَسِيتَ؟ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا قَصُرَتْ وَمَا نَسِيتُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنَّكَ صَلَّيْتَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَكَمَا يَقُولُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَتَقَدَّمَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ. ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَىِ السَّهْوِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be mindful during prayers, Accept mistakes humbly & repent sincerely for them

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of being mindful during prayer. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah forgot to say the Taslim after two Rakah. A man who was called Dhul-Yadain noticed this and asked if he had forgotten or if prayer had been shortened. The Prophet confirmed that he had indeed forgotten but not shortened his prayer. He then went forward and performed two more Rakah before saying Salam followed by prostrations of forgetfulness as an act of repentance for his mistake. This teaches us that we should always be mindful during our prayers so as not to miss any part or make any mistakes in our recitation or actions while praying. We should also be humble enough to accept when we make mistakes and repent for them sincerely in order to seek forgiveness from Allah SWT.
