Sahih Muslim 573d — Zuhr Prayer Mistake and Correction

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 573d

This narration mentions the noon prayer, Zuhr, and describes that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم prayed two rak'ahs and then gave salutation. A man from Bani Sulaim came and asked whether the prayer had been shortened or whether the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had forgotten. The rest of the report is described as the same event, so the main teaching is the correction of a prayer ended before completion. The hadith keeps the focus on a simple but important point: when a worshipper notices a possible mistake in prayer, the matter should be raised with respect. The prayer is not treated carelessly. It is checked, completed, and connected with sujood sahw as shown in the fuller narration.
