الكبرى للنسائي:٥٩٥ – أَخْبَرَنِي عِمْرَانُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَمَاعَةَ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ وَيَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا لَبَّسَ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ أَثَلَاثًا صَلَّى أَمْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ»
