Any idea why the imam recited the same surah twice?

Astaghfirullah, the same Surah in both Rakaats?. I remember the Prophet Sallalaahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam did this one time also, but it was said that He Sallalaahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam forgot that he read the same Surahs. (Reason showing that the Prophet Sallalaahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam was a Human just like us)

Assalam-a'laikum.
The admin had asked a while ago that please give reference if you quote any hadith, a mere "I remember" will not suffice as it implies nothing but conjecutre.

Sunan Aboo Daawood, Book 3, Number 0815:
Narrated Mu'adh ibn Abdullah al-Juhani:

A man of Juhaynah told him that he had heard the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) reciting "When the earth is shaken" (Surah 99) in both rak'ahs of the morning prayer. But I do not know whether he had forgotten, or whether he recited it on purpose.

Sheikh Al Albaani graded this hadeeth saheeh, and according to him, the Prophet did not forget, but he did it to show that it is legislated. [i'll reference this later]

Thanks bro MI. Infact I read on Arabnews that the earth has been shaking in Madinah lightly every single day for a while now. So it explains this sheikhs purpose of reciting this surah twice.

There is nothing wrong with repeating the same soorah in Taraweeh prayer, or in any other prayer. A person may recite a soorah in the first rak’ah and repeat the same soorah in the second. The evidence for that is the general meaning of the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Verily, your Lord knows that you do stand (to pray at night) a little less than two thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and also a party of those with you. And Allaah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are unable to pray the whole night, so He has turned to you (in mercy). So, recite you of the Qur’aan as much as may be easy for you”
[al-Muzzammil 73:20]

Abu Dawood narrated (816) from Mu’aadh ibn ‘Abd-Allaah al-Juhani that a man from Juhaynah told him that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) reciting Idha zulzilat al-ard [al-Zalzalah 99] in both rak’ahs of Fajr prayer and (he said) I do not know whether the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forgot or he recited that deliberately. This report was classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

‘Abd al-‘Azeem Abaadi said:

The Sahaabah were uncertain as to whether the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) repeated the soorah because he forgot, as it was his habit to recite a different soorah in the second rak’ah to what he had recited in the first, so that was not prescribed for his ummah, or he did it deliberately to show that it is permissible. So it is uncertain as to whether it is permissible to repeat a soorah or not. If it is not clear whether it is permissible or not, then it is more appropriate to interpret what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did as meaning that it is permissible, because the basic principle concerning his actions is that they were done to show what is prescribed, and the idea that he forgot goes against that principle.

‘Awn al-Ma’bood, 3/23

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with repeating a soorah or a verse within the same rak’ah.

Al-Nasaa’i (1010) and Ibn Maajah (1350) narrated that Abu Dharr (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stood reciting a verse and repeating it until morning came. That verse was: “If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily, You, only You, are the All‑Mighty, the All‑Wise” [al-Maa'idah 5:118]. Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i.
