[Machine] Al-Mughira led us in prayer and then stood up for the two extra rak'at (units of prayer). We said, "Subhanallah" (glory be to Allah). He said, "Subhanallah" and moved on. When he completed his prayer and gave the salutations, he performed the two prostrations of forgetfulness. When he finished, he said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing as I did." Abu Dawud said, "And likewise."  

صَلَّى بِنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ فَنَهَضَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قُلْنَا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَمَضَى فَلَمَّا أَتَمَّ صَلَاتَهُ وَسَلَّمَ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ كَمَا صَنَعْتُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If any of you has doubts about his prayer and does not know how many units he has prayed, then he should pray one unit (rak'ah) and prostrate twice while sitting before the salutation (salam). If the prayer he has prayed is his fifth unit (rak'ah), then he should perform these two prostrations with intention of seeking forgiveness (tawbah) from Satan. This narration has been narrated from the hadith of Sulayman bin Bilal and Hisham bin Saad from Zaid bin Aslam from Ata bin Yasar from Abu Sa'id, connected in the chain of narrators. This has also been narrated from the hadith of Malik, attributed to the same chain of narrators."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ كَمْ صَلَّى ثَلَاثًا أَوْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَةً وَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ قَبْلَ التَّسْلِيمِ فَإِنْ كَانَتِ الرَّكْعَةُ الَّتِي صَلَّى خَامِسَةً شَفَعَهَا بِهَاتَيْنِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ رَابِعَةً فَالسَّجْدَتَانِ تَرْغِيمٌ لِلشَّيْطَانِ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ وَهِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ مَوْصُولًا وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ أَيْضًا مَوْصُولًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If any of you have doubt about his prayer, he should not know whether he prayed three or four units (rak'ahs). He should dismiss the doubt and be certain. Then he should perform two prostrations before making the tasleem (saying salaam at the end of the prayer). If it is an odd number of units, he should make it an intercessory one through these two prostrations, and if it is an even number, these two prostrations become a means of rebuke for Satan."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَا يَدْرِي أَثْلَاثًا صَلَّى أَمْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيُلْقِ الشَّكَّ وَلْيَبْنِ عَلَى الْيَقِينِ ثُمَّ لِيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ وِتْرًا أَشْفَعَهَا بِهَاتَيْنِ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ شَفْعًا فَالسَّجْدَتَانِ تَرْغِيمٌ لِلشَّيْطَانِ  

“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘If anyone of you is uncertain as to whether he has prayed one or two Rak’ah, let him assume it is one. If he is uncertain as to whether he has prayed two or three, let him assume it is two. If he is uncertain as to whether he has prayed three or four, let him assume it is three. Then let him complete what is left of his prayer, so that the doubt will be about what is more. Then let him prostrate twice while he is sitting, before the Taslim (saying the Salam).’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1209)   

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَشَكَّ فِي الْوَاحِدَةِ وَالثِّنْتَيْنِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا وَاحِدَةً وَإِذَا شَكَّ فِي الِاثْنَتَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَإِذَا شَكَّ فِي الثَّلَاثِ وَالْأَرْبَعِ فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا ثَلَاثًا حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْوَهْمُ فِي الزِّيَادَةِ وَيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ  

[Machine] He said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Satan comes to one of you during his prayer and confuses him until he does not know how much he has prayed. So if any of you experiences this, let him perform two prostrations while sitting."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْتِي الشَّيْطَانُ أَحَدَكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَيُلَبِّسُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى لَا يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى فَإِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If one of you prays and does not know if he has increased or decreased (in the prayer), then he should perform two prostrations while he is sitting, then he should offer the salutation. Abu Ali Al-Rudhbari informed us that Abu Bakr ibn Dasa narrated to us, Abu Dawood narrated to us, Hajjaj narrated to us, Ya'qub narrated to us, my father narrated to me from Ibn Ishaq, he said: Muhammad ibn Muslim Al-Zuhri informed me with his chain of transmission, and he said: "He should perform two prostrations before offering the salutation, then he should offer the salutation." And Ibn Ishaq mentioned another chain of transmission in it.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ أَزَادَ أَمْ نَقَصَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ لِيُسَلِّمْ 3831 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا حَجَّاجٌ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ ثنا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَقَالَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ وَلِابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ فِيهِ إِسْنَادٌ آخَرُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the believer calls the Adhan, the devil runs away from the mosque, breaking wind. And when the Mu'adhin becomes silent, he returns. And when the Mu'adhin stands to lead the prayer, he again goes away, having a sneeze. And when the Mu'adhin becomes silent, he returns until he comes between the Muslim and himself in prayer. He does not know if he has increased or decreased in his prayer. So when one of you finds this, let him prostrate two prostrations while sitting before he says the Salam. This was narrated by Hisham al-Dastuwai and Al-Awza'i on the authority of Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, on the authority of Abu Salamah, without this addition. And it was also narrated by Ikrimah ibn Ammar on the authority of Yahya, and he mentioned it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أَذَّنَ الْمُؤْمِنُ خَرَجَ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ لَهُ حُصَاصٌ فَإِذَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ رَجَعَ فَإِذَا أَقَامَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَلَهُ ضُرَاطٌ فَإِذَا سَكَتَ رَجَعَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الْمَرْءَ الْمُسْلِمَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَيَدْخُلَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ نَفْسِهِ لَا يَدْرِي أَزَادَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ أَوْ نَقَصَ فَإِذَا وَجَدَ ذَلِكَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ وَرَوَاهُ هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ وَالْأَوْزَاعِيُّ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ دُونَ هَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةِ وَرَوَاهُ عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى فَذَكَرَهَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If one of you forgets to recite an increase or decrease while in prayer, then let him make two prostrations while sitting, then he should say the salutation." And likewise.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَهَا أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ أَزَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up during two times of the Dhuhr or Asr prayer. When he stood straight, he did not sit back until he completed his prayer. Then he performed the two prostrations of forgetfulness before saying the taslim (ending of the prayer), and then he said the taslim.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ فَلَمَّا اعْتَدَلَ قَائِمًا لَمْ يَرْجِعْ حَتَّى قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prayed with us, then he stood for the first two units of prayer before sitting. He continued with his prayer, and when he finished, he waited for the people to finish their salutations. Then he said the takbeer and prostrated before saying the salutation. Then he raised his head, said the takbeer, prostrated again, and raised his head and said the salutation.  

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فَمَضَى فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ وَانْتَظَرَ النَّاسُ تَسْلِيمَهُ كَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَسَلَّمَ  

[Machine] For Umar ibn Abdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy on him, the two prostrations (sujood) were performed before the salutation.  

لِعُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ السَّجْدَتَانِ قَبْلَ السَّلَامِ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ prayed the Dhuhr prayer five times. It was said to him, "Shouldn't you increase your prayer?" He asked, "Why?". They said, "You have prayed five prayers, but he then made two prostrations while sitting and said once after he finished.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ خَمْسًا فَقِيلَ لَهُ أَزِيدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ مَا ذَاكَ؟ فَقَالُوا صَلَّيْتَ خَمْسًا فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً بَعْدَ مَا فَرَغَ  

[Machine] "And I was among the people in my youth, so I said, 'Yes, I have performed the five prayers.' He then said, 'Even you, O one-eyed man, are saying this?' I replied, 'Yes.' So he performed two prostrations, then gave the Salam (ending the prayer), and said, 'The Prophet ﷺ led us in performing five prayers.' When he made the extra prostrations, the people started whispering among themselves and they asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, has there been an increase in the prayer?' He replied, 'No.' They said, 'But you have already performed five prayers.' So he made the extra prostrations, then gave the Salam, and said, 'I am only a human like you, I forget just as you forget. So if any one of you forgets, then let him perform two prostrations for the sake of the Hadith of Jarir.'"  

وَكُنْتُ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْقَوْمِ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ خَمْسًا فَقَالَ وَأَنْتَ أَيْضًا يَا أَعْوَرُ تَقُولُ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَانْفَتَلَ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَمْسًا فَلَمَّا انْفَتَلَ تَوَشْوَشَ الْقَوْمُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ زِيدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالُوا فَقَدْ صَلَّيْتَ خَمْسًا فَانْفَتَلَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ فَإِذَا نَسِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ جَرِيرٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , performed one of my nightly prayers. When he finished, they said, "Did you pray five?" He said, "I am only a human being like you. I remember as you remember and forget as you forget." Then he turned and performed the two prostrations of forgetfulness.  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِحْدَى صَلَاتِي الْعِشَاءِ فَلَمَّا انْفَتَلَ قَالُوا صَلَّيْتَ خَمْسًا؟ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ أَذْكُرُ كَمَا تَذْكُرُونَ وَأَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ made two prostrations of forgetfulness after the salaam and speech.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ بَعْدَ السَّلَامِ وَالْكَلَامِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed and added or subtracted [the number of units]. Ibrahim said, "And the assumed mistake is from me." So, it was said, "O Messenger of Allah, should I increase in prayer?" He said, "I am only a human being, I forget just as you forget. So, if any one of you forgets, he should perform two prostrations while sitting." Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned and performed two prostrations.  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَزَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَالْوَهْمُ مِنِّي فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَزِيدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ شَيْءٌ؟ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ فَإِذَا نَسِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: When an imam stands up at the end of two rak'ahs , if he remembers before standing straight up, he should sit down, but if he stands straight up, he must not sit down, but perform the two prostrations of forgetfulness. Abu Dawud said: I have not narrated in this book of mine any hadith from Jabir Al-Ju'fi (one of the narrators) except this one. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1036)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ الْإِمَامُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِنْ ذَكَرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَتِمَّ قَائِمًا فَلْيَجْلِسْ وَإِنِ اسْتَتَمَّ قَائِمًا فَلَا يَجْلِسْ وَيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ  

[Machine] He moved to perform the two units of prayer for Asr, so they glorified him, then he sat and performed the two prostrations of forgetfulness while he was sitting.  

أَنَّهُ تَحَرَّكَ لِلْقِيَامِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْعَصْرِ فَسَبَّحُوا بِهِ فَجَلَسَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ once led us in a prayer and offered two rakʿat and got up (for the third rakʿa) without sitting (after the second rakʿa). The people also got up with him, and when he was about to finish his prayer, we waited for him to finish the prayer with Taslim but he said Takbir before Taslim and performed two prostrations while sitting and then finished the prayer with Taslim. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1224)   

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ بَعْضِ الصَّلَوَاتِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ فَقَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ وَنَظَرْنَا تَسْلِيمَهُ كَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ قَبْلَ التَّسْلِيمِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood during two of the afternoon prayers without sitting in between. After completing his prayer, he prostrated twice and then gave the final salutation.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ فِيهَا فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood in the shaf' (middle) position, which he intended to sit in his prayer. He continued with his prayer, and when he reached the end of the prayer, he prostrated before giving the salutation (salam).  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِي الشَّفْعِ الَّذِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَمَضَى فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ الصَّلَاةِ سَجَدَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ  

[Machine] I saw the Prophet ﷺ do that, and we have narrated from the hadith of Al-Mas'oodi from Ziyad bin 'Alaqa from Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah something similar, and the Hadith of Ibn Buhaynah about prostration before the greeting is more authentic than that, and Allah knows best.  

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْمَسْعُودِيِّ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ مِثْلَهُ وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ بُحَيْنَةَ فِي السُّجُودِ قَبْلَ السَّلَامِ أَصَحُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] When he finished, I performed as I had seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do and as narrated by Yahya ibn Yahya from Abu Mu'awiyah, and he added to it, then he prostrated for my two accidental prostrations. When he finished, he informed us that Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed Ibrahim ibn Isma'il ibn Ibrahim al-Adl, narrated by my father, narrated by Yahya ibn Yahya, who informed Abu Mu'awiyah, and he mentioned it in his meaning, and it was narrated specifically from Qais and he mentioned it to him on Sa'd.  

حِينَ انْصَرَفَ صَنَعْتُ كَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَنَعَ وَرَوَاهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ وَزَادَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ 3851 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عِصْمَةَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَدْلُ ثنا أَبِي ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أنبأ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَرَوَاهُ بَيَانٌ عَنْ قَيْسٍ فَوَقَفَهُ عَلَى سَعْدٍ  

[Machine] Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah. He did not sit and continued with his prayer. When he reached the end of his prayer, he made two prostrations of inadvertence while sitting. When he finished, he said, "I heard you saying 'Subhan Allah' before I sat down, but the sunnah that I have done and narrated to you is from a group of the Companions. Sufficient for us is what we have mentioned, and through Allah is our success."  

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ وَمَضَى عَلَى قِيَامِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ صَلَاتِهِ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُكُمْ آنِفًا تَقُولُونَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ لِكَيْمَا أَجْلِسَ لَكِنَّ السُّنَّةَ الَّذِي صَنَعْتُ وَرُوِّينَا ذَلِكَ عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ ؓ وَفِيمَا ذَكَرْنَا كِفَايَةٌ وَبِاللهِ التَّوْفِيقُ  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "There is no mistake in the proper performance of prayer, except a transition from sitting to standing or from standing to sitting." This is the wording of the hadith of Ad-Darimi and in the hadith of Al-Ilyi narrated by Yazid ibn Abi Habib. Abu Bakr al-Anssi has also mentioned this hadith independently, but it is considered unknown (majhool).  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا سَهْوَ فِي وَثْبَةِ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا قِيَامٌ عَنْ جُلُوسٍ أَوْ جُلُوسٌ عَنْ قِيَامٍ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الدَّارِمِيِّ وَفِي حَدِيثِ الْأَيْلِيِّ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْعَنْسِيُّ وَهُوَ مَجْهُولٌ  

[Machine] He said that if a person makes a mistake while standing or sitting, or if they bow down in what should be done while standing, or perform the Salam while in the two units of prayer, then they should complete their prayer and perform two prostrations while still sitting, making the Tashahhud during those two prostrations, and then perform the Salam.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ السَّهْوُ إِذَا قَامَ فِيمَا يَجْلِسُ فِيهِ أَوْ قَعَدَ فِيمَا يُقَامُ فِيهِ أَوْ سَلَّمَ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُ يَفْرُغُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَيَسْجُدُ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ يَتَشَهَّدُ فِيهِمَا وَيُسَلِّمُ  

[Machine] Imam Al-Faqih Abu Al-Fath Al-Umari informed us that Abdullah Ibn Al-Sharifi told us that Abu Al-Qasim Al-Baghawi narrated to us from Ali Ibn Muslim who narrated from Abu Dawud who narrated from Shu'bah, who informed us that Thabit said: Anas prayed with us and he stood up when he was supposed to sit, and he sat when he was supposed to stand, and he made two prostrations. He also reported from his companions that they used to do the same.  

أَخْبَرَنَا الْإِمَامُ الْفَقِيهُ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ الْعُمَرِيُّ أنبأ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الشَّرِيحِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الْبَغَوِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا شُعْبَةُ أنبأ ثَابِتٌ قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا أَنَسٌ فَقَامَ فِيمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَقْعُدَ أَوْ قَعَدَ فِيمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَقُومَ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَحَدَّثَ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us, "Pray as you have seen me praying. When the prayer time comes, let one of you give the call to prayer and the one among you who knows the most should lead the prayer."  

قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلُّوا كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي أُصَلِّي فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ لَكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ  

[Machine] He was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man came and entered the mosque and prayed. When he finished his prayer, he greeted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." He returned and prayed, and we observed his prayer, not knowing what was wrong with it. When he finished his prayer, he greeted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." He mentioned this either two or three times. The man said, "I do not know what wrong I have done in my prayer." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the prayer is not complete for any of you until he performs ablution as prescribed by Allah. He should wash his face and hands up to the elbows, wipe his head and his feet up to the ankles, then he should say the takbir and praise and glorify Allah, and recite from the Qur'an whatever Allah has permitted him. Then he should say the takbir and bow, placing his palms on his knees until his joints are at rest, then he should stand up straight until all his bones return to their place, then he should say, 'Allah hears the one who praises Him.' Then he should stand until all his joints are at rest, then he should say the takbir and prostrate, placing his forehead on the ground until his joints are at rest, then he should stand up straight until all his bones return to their place, then he should say the takbir and sit on his left thigh, keeping his back straight, and then he should recite the tashahhud, and describe the prayer in this manner until he finishes. Then he said, 'The prayer of any one of you is not complete until he does that.'"  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ جَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَلَيْكَ ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ فَصَلَّى فَجَعَلْنَا نَرْمُقُ صَلَاتَهُ لَا نَدْرِي مَا يَعِيبُ مِنْهَا فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ جَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَعَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ وَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ إِمَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ إِمَّا ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ مَا أَدْرِي مَا عِبْتَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ صَلَاتِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهَا لَا تَتِمُّ صَلَاةُ أَحَدِكُمْ حَتَّى يُسْبِغَ الْوُضُوءَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى يَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ وَيَمْسَحُ بِرَأْسِهِ وَرِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ وَيَحْمَدُ اللهَ وَيُمَجِّدُهُ وَيَقْرَأُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا أَذِنَ اللهُ لَهُ فِيهِ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ فَيَرْكَعُ وَيَضَعُ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ مَفَاصِلُهُ فَيَسْتَوِيَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ وَيَسْتَوِي قَائِمًا حَتَّى يَأْخُذَ كُلُّ عُضْوٍ مَأْخَذَهُ ثُمَّ يُقِيمُ صُلْبَهُ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ فَيَسْجُدُ فَيُمَكِّنُ جَبْهَتَهُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ مَفَاصِلُهُ وَيَسْتَوِيَ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ فَيَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ وَيَسْتَوِي قَاعِدًا عَلَى مَقْعَدَتِهِ وَيُقِيمُ صُلْبَهُ فَوَصَفَ الصَّلَاةَ هَكَذَا حَتَّى فَرَغَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا تَتِمُّ صَلَاةُ أَحَدِكُمْ حَتَّى يَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] "Allah ﷺ says: If any of you has doubt about his prayer being deficient, then let him continue praying until he is certain of its sufficiency. This has been mentioned in the hadith of Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri, Ibn 'Umar, and Anas ibn Malik."  

اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى شَكٍّ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ فِي النُّقْصَانِ فَلْيُصَلِّ حَتَّى يَكُونَ عَلَى الشَّكِّ مِنَ الزِّيَادَةِ وَقَدْ مَضَى مَعْنَاهُ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ  

The Prophet ﷺ offered one of the evening prayers (the sub-narrator Muhammad said, "I think that it was most probably the ʿAsr prayer") and he finished it after offering two rakʿat only. He then stood near a price of wood in front of the Mosque and put his hand over it. Abu Bakr and ʿUmar were amongst those who were present, but they dared not talk to him about that (because of excessive respect for him), and those who were in a hurry went out. They said, "Has the prayer been reduced?" A man who was called Dhul-Yadain by the Prophet ﷺ said (to the Prophet), "Has the prayer been reduced or have you forgotten?" He said, "Neither have I forgotten, nor has the prayer been reduced." He said, "Certainly you have forgotten." So the Prophet ﷺ offered two more rakʿat and performed Taslim and then said Takbir and performed a prostration of Sahu like his ordinary prostration or a bit longer and then raised his head and said Takbir and then put his head down and performed a prostration like his ordinary prostration or a bit longer, and then raised his head and said Takbir. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1229)   

ﷺ صَلَّى إِحْدَى صَلَاتِي الْعِشَاءِ أَوِ الظُّهْرَ أَوِ الْعَصْرَ وَأَكْبَرُ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ قَالَ الظُّهْرَ فَسَلَّمَ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَقَامَ إِلَى خَشَبَةٍ فِي مُقَدَّمِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ حَجَّاجٌ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا وَفِي الْقَوْمِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ ؓ فَهَابَاهُ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَاهُ وَخَرَجَ سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ فَقَالُوا أَقَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ وَفِي النَّاسِ رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَدْعُوهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِذِي الْيَدَيْنِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَسِيتَ أَمْ قَصُرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ فَقَالَ لَمْ أَنْسَ وَلَمْ تُقْصَرِ الصَّلَاةُ فَقَالَ بَلَى نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ ذُو الْيَدَيْنِ؟ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فَسَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَكَبَّرَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ مِثْلَ سُجُودِهِ أَوْ أَطْوَلَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَكَبَّرَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِسُلَيْمَانَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The two prostrations of forgetfulness make up for any addition or omission in the wording of the narration of Al-Malini and in the narration of Ibn Abdaan. And this hadith is considered a unique statement of Hakim ibn Nafi' Al-Raqqi, and it was authenticated by Yahya ibn Ma'in. And Allah knows best."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَجْدَتَا السَّهْوِ تَجْزِيَانِ مِنْ كُلِّ زِيَادَةٍ وَنُقْصَانٍ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الْمَالِينِيِّ وَفِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَبْدَانَ سَجْدَتَا السَّهْوِ لِكُلِّ زِيَادَةٍ وَنُقْصَانِ وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ يُعَدُّ مِنْ إِفْرَادِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ الرَّقِّيِّ وَكَانَ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ يُوَثِّقُهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] I performed prayer behind the Prophet ﷺ , and he did not complete the takbir. And this, according to us, is considered to be a mistake that he inadvertently made, so he did not prostrate for it.  

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَانَ لَا يُتِمُّ التَّكْبِيرَ وَهَذَا عِنْدَنَا مَحْمُولٌ عَلَى أَنَّهُ ﷺ سَهَا عَنْهُ فَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ لَهُ  

[Machine] "So there is no harm in this, and according to the saying of Imam Shafi'i in the old times, it is understood to be based on the obligatory recitation. Imam Shafi'i said that it is not mentioned that he prostrated for inadvertence or did not count the prayer. He only did that between the afternoon of the Muhajireen and the Ansar. The scholar, may Allah have mercy on him, said that it is understood among us based on the recitation of the Surah or on the secrets with the recitation of what he should have recited aloud. It has been narrated from Umar that he repeated it, and that is mentioned in the chapter of the least that is sufficient, if Allah wills."  

فَلَا بَأْسَ إِذًا وَهَذَا عَلَى قَوْلِ الشَّافِعِيِّ فِي الْقَدِيمِ مَحْمُولٌ عَلَى الْقِرَاءَةِ الْوَاجِبَةِ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَلَمْ يُذْكَرْ أَنَّهُ سَجَدَ لِلسَّهْوِ وَلَمْ يُعِدِ الصَّلَاةَ فَإِنَّمَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرِي الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَهُوَ مَحْمُولٌ عِنْدَنَا عَلَى قِرَاءَةِ السُّورَةِ أَوْ عَلَى الْإِسْرَارِ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فِيمَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَجْهَرَ بِهَا ثُمَّ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ أَعَادَهَا وَذَلِكَ يَرِدُ فِي بَابِ أَقَلِّ مَا يُجْزِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to recite in the first two units of the noon and afternoon prayers, and he would sometimes make us hear a verse. He would also lengthen the first unit and shorten the second unit. And he would recite in the two units of the evening prayer.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَيُطِيلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى وَيُقَصِّرُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَيَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, blessings and ﷺ , used to recite Umm Al-Quran (Surah Al-Fatiha) and two other surahs along with it in the first two units of the Dhuhr prayer and the Asr prayer. Sometimes, he would also recite a verse out loud. He would also extend the first unit of the prayer.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِأُمِّ الْقُرْآنِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ مَعَهَا فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ وَصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ وَيُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا وَكَانَ يُطِيلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى  

[Machine] Al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) and this, according to us, does not necessitate error.  

الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَهَذَا عِنْدَنَا لَا يُوجِبُ سَهْوًا  

[Machine] In the reading in the afternoon or the evening, Dawud had doubts, so the people praised him. When he finished praying, he said: "Certainly, there is recitation in every prayer, and what led me to do so was contrary to the Sunnah. But I read forgetfully, so I disliked interrupting the recitation." It is mentioned that Qatada reported that Anas ibn Malik prayed aloud in the afternoon and evening prayers but did not prostrate. It is also reported in a similar manner from Khabbab ibn al-Aratt. It is narrated about Umar and Abdullah ibn Masood as well.  

بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الظُّهْرِ أَوِ الْعَصْرِ شَكَّ دَاوُدُ فَسَبَّحَ النَّاسُ فَمَضَى فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ إِنَّ فِي كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ قِرَاءَةً وَمَا حَمَلَنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ خِلَافُ السُّنَّةِ وَلَكِنِّي قَرَأْتُ نَاسِيًا فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَقْطَعَ الْقِرَاءَةَ وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ جَهَرَ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فَلَمْ يَسْجُدْ وَعَنْ خَبَّابِ بْنِ الْأَرَتِّ بِنَحْوٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَرُوِيَ فِيهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ  

[Machine] On the departure of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the Banu Amr ibn Awf and the prayer of Abu Bakr and the arrival of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the clapping of the people, Sahl bin Sa'd said: Abu Bakr did not turn around during prayer. So when people clapped a lot, he turned around and mentioned the hadith. In the end, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Why do I see you clapping more? Whoever has something bothering him in his prayer, let him say tasbih (glorification of Allah), for when he says tasbih, he will be attended to. Clapping is only for women." We have also narrated from Jabir in the past that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ complained, so we prayed behind him while he was sitting. He turned towards us and saw us standing.  

عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ فِي ذَهَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَصَلَاةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَمَجِيءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَتَصْفِيقِ النَّاسِ قَالَ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَا يَلْتَفِتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ التَّصْفِيقَ الْتَفَتَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِي آخِرِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لِيَ رَأَيْتُكُمْ أَكْثَرْتُمُ التَّصْفِيحَ؟ مَنْ نَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيُسَبِّحْ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا سَبَّحَ التُفِتَ إِلَيْهِ إِنَّمَا التَّصْفِيحُ لِلنِّسَاءِ وَرُوِّينَا فِيمَا مَضَى عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ اشْتَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّيْنَا وَرَاءَهُ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا فَرَآنَا قِيَامًا  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ performed the prayer, meaning the Fajr prayer, and he prayed while looking towards the people. Abu Dawud said: meaning he sent someone to guard the people during the night.  

ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ يَعْنِي صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الشِّعْبِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ يَعْنِي وَكَانَ أَرْسَلَ فَارِسًا إِلَى الشِّعْبِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَحْرُسُ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: It is permissible for my Ummah (community) to have thoughts that come to their minds or speak about things that they have not verbalized or acted upon.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ تُجُوِّزَ لِأُمَّتِي عَمَّا وَسْوَسَتْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهَا أَوْ حَدَّثَتْ بِهِ أَنْفُسَهَا مَا لَمْ تَكَلَّمْ بِهِ أَوْ تَعْمَلْ بِهِ  

[Machine] I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the afternoon prayer. When he finished, he quickly stood up and entered one of his wives' quarters. Then he came out and saw the astonishment on the faces of the people due to his speed. He said, "While I was praying, I remembered something and I disliked that the evening or the night would pass while he was with us. So I ordered for his portion to be distributed."  

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ سَرِيعًا فَدَخَلَ عَلَى بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَرَأَى مَا فِي وُجُوهِ الْقَوْمِ مِنْ تَعَجُّبِهِمْ لِسُرْعَتِهِ قَالَ ذَكَرْتُ وَأَنَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ تِبْرًا عِنْدَنَا فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ يُمْسِيَ أَوْ يَبِيتَ عِنْدَنَا فَأَمَرْتُ بِقِسْمَتِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed Salah in a robe that had flags on it and said, "These flags have preoccupied me, so take them to Abu Jahl and bring me the 'Anbajaniyyat' in return."  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي خَمِيصَةٍ لَهَا أَعْلَامٌ فَقَالَ شَغَلَتْنِي هَذِهِ الْأَعْلَامُ اذْهَبُوا بِهَا إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ وَأْتُونِي بِالْأَنْبَجَانِيِّ  

[Machine] Abu Jahl bin Hudaifah presented a Syrian garment with a flag on it as a gift to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He wore it during prayer, and when he finished, he said, "Return this garment to Abu Jahl, for I looked at its flag during prayer, and it almost distracted me." Al-Shafi'i said, "We did not know if he prostrated due to forgetfulness." Abu Talhah looked at a wall and mentioned this to the Prophet ﷺ , but we do not know if he commanded him to prostrate for forgetfulness.  

أَهْدَى أَبُو جَهْمِ بْنُ حُذَيْفَةَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ خَمِيصَةً شَامِيَّةً لَهَا عَلَمٌ فَشَهِدَ فِيهَا الصَّلَاةَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ رُدُّوا هَذِهِ الْخَمِيصَةَ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ فَإِنِّي نَظَرْتُ إِلَى عَلَمِهَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَكَادَ يَفْتِنُنِي قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فَلَمْ نَعْلَمْهُ سَجَدَ السَّهْوَ وَنَظَرَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ إِلَى حَائِطٍ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ نَعْلَمْهُ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِلسَّهْوِ  

[Machine] Abu Talhah Al-Ansari used to pray in a particular area and was distracted by something. He hesitated and sought a way out. He found it fascinating and continued to follow it with his sight for a while, then he returned to his prayer. Upon finishing, he realized that he did not know how many units of prayer he had performed. He said, "A temptation has afflicted me concerning my wealth." He then went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and narrated to him the temptation that had occurred to him in the area where he prayed. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, it is a charity, so place it wherever you like."  

أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي حَائِطٍ لَهُ فَطَارَدَ بِشَيْءٍ فَطَفِقَ يَتَرَدَّدُ يَلْتَمِسُ مَخْرَجًا فَأَعْجَبَهُ ذَلِكَ فَجَعَلَ يُتْبِعُهُ بَصَرَهُ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ لَا يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى فَقَالَ لَقَدْ أَصَابَنِي فِي مَالِي هَذَا فِتْنَةٌ فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ الَّذِي أَصَابَهُ فِي حَائِطِهِ مِنَ الْفِتْنَةِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هُوَ صَدَقَةٌ فَضَعْهُ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ  

[Machine] Upon him, two prostrations of forgetfulness are required (in prayer).  

عَلَيْهِ سَجْدَتَا السَّهْوِ  

[Machine] Upon him are two prostrations of forgetfulness.  

عَلَيْهِ سَجْدَتَا السَّهْوِ  

[Machine] Sufyan, may Allah have mercy on him, is our source of knowledge.  

سُفْيَانُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَبِهِ نَأْخُذُ  

[Machine] I prayed the dawn prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he did not prolong the prayer.  

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْفَجْرَ فَلَمْ يَقْنُتْ  

[Machine] Behind the Prophet ﷺ , and Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman, I have never seen anyone of them do it.  

خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ وَعُثْمَانَ ؓ فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ فَعَلَهُ قَطُّ
