Sahih Muslim : 573b
Sahih MuslimHadith Number 573b
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِحْدَى صَلاَتَىِ الْعَشِيِّ . بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led us in one of the evening prayers. And this hadith was narrated like one transmitted by Sufyan.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 573b
This short narration confirms the same report transmitted through Sufyan about the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم leading one of the evening prayers. Its value is that it supports the teaching about prayer correction when forgetfulness occurs. Since the wording points back to the longer narration, the focus remains on the same core idea: a prayer mistake was recognized, the matter was checked, the missing part of the prayer was completed, and sujood sahw was performed. For anyone searching for a hadith about forgetting in prayer, this report shows that the event was preserved through more than one chain. The teaching stays practical and clear: prayer is treated with care, and correction is made when a genuine mistake becomes known.
What we learn from this hadith
- The report supports the established narration about correction after forgetfulness in prayer.
- A short narration can still strengthen the meaning of a longer report.
- The prayer mistake was not ignored once it became clear.
- Sujood sahw is linked here with correcting a missed part of prayer.
