Sahih al-Bukhari 714 (Book 10, Hadith 109) #689
The Importance of Offering Prayers in Full

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of offering prayers in full and not leaving any part out.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Once Allah's Messenger prayed two rak'at (instead of four) and finished his prayer. Dhul-Yadain asked him whether the prayer had been reduced or whether he had forgotten. Allah's Messenger asked the people whether Dhul-Yadain was telling the truth. The people replied in the affirmative. Then Allah's Apostle stood up, offered the remaining two rak'at and then finished his prayer with Taslim and then said, "Allahu Akbar". He followed it with two prostrations like ordinary prostrations or a bit longer.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ انْصَرَفَ مِنَ اثْنَتَيْنِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ أَقَصُرَتِ 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.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrated by Abu Huraira tells us about the importance of offering prayers in full. It is said that once Allah's Messenger prayed two rak'at instead of four and finished his prayer. Dhul-Yadain asked him whether the prayer had been reduced or whether he had forgotten. When people confirmed that it was true, Allah's Apostle stood up again and offered the remaining two rak'at and then finished his prayer with Taslim followed by two prostrations like ordinary prostrations or a bit longer. This incident shows us how important it is to offer our prayers completely without leaving any part out as even Prophet Muhammad ﷺ did not forget to complete his prayer when reminded by someone else. We should always remember to offer our prayers with full concentration so that we can reap its benefits fully as well as please Allah SWT through them.
