Hadith 1203
Sahih — Darussalam
Forgetfulness during Prayer
It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
prayed, and he added or omitted something.” (One of the narrators)
Ibrahim said: “The confusion stems from me (i.e., he was not sure
which it was).” “It was said to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Has
something been added to the prayer?’ He said: ‘I am only human, I
forget just as you forget. If anyone forgets, let him perform two
prostrations when he is sitting (at the end).’ Then the Prophet
(ﷺ)
turned and prostrated twice.”
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَزَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَالْوَهْمُ مِنِّي فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَزِيدَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ شَىْءٌ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ فَإِذَا نَسِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ

Hasan — Darussalam
Forgetfulness during Prayer
‘Iyad
narrated that he asked Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri: “One of us prays
and
he does not know how many (Rak’ah) he has prayed.” He said: “The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘When anyone of you prays and does
not
know how many he has prayed, let him perform two prostrations
while he
is sitting.’”

What was narrated concerning one who is uncertain about his Prayer; let him refer to what is more certain
It was
narrated that ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf said: “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).’”

narrated that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: “The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘If anyone of you is uncertain about his prayer, let
him put aside uncertainty and act upon that which is certain. When he
has made sure his prayer is complete, then let him prostrate twice.
Then if his prayer was complete, that (extra) Rak’ah will be
counted
as voluntary, and if his prayer was lacking, that Rak’ah
will complete
his prayer, and the two prostrations will rub the
Satan’s nose in the
dust.’”
What was narrated concerning one who is uncertain about his Prayer, so he should try to do what is correct
It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
offered prayer, and I am not sure whether he did something extra or
omitted something. He asked, and we told him, so he turned to face the
Qiblah and prostrated twice, then he said the Salam. Then he turned
to face us and said: ‘If any new command has been revealed
concerning the prayer, I would certainly have told you. But I am only
human and I forget and you forget. If I forget, then remind me. And
if anyone of you is uncertain about the prayer, let him do what is
closest to what is correct, then complete the prayer, say the Salam
and prostrate twice.”

Hadith 1213
Sahih — Darussalam
One who says the Salam after two or three Rak’ah by mistake
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
forgot
and said the Taslim after two Rak’ah. A man who was called
Dhul-Yadain said to him: ‘O Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been
shortened or did you forget?’ He said: ‘It has not been shortened
and
I did not forget.’ He said: ‘But you prayed two Rak’ah.’ He
said: ‘Is what
Dhul-Yadain says true?’ They said: ‘Yes.’ So
he went forward and
performed two Rak’ah and said the Salam, then
he prostrated twice for
prostrations of forgetfulness.
One who says the Salam after two or three Rak’ah by mistake
It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
led
us in one of the afternoon prayers, and he prayed two Rak’ah, then
he said the Salam. Then he stood up and went to a piece of wood in
the
mosque, and leaned against it. Those who were in a hurry left the
mosque, saying that the prayer had been shortened. Among the people
were Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, but they dared not say anything. Among the
people there was also a man with long hands who was called
Dhul-
Yadain. He said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, has the prayer been
shortened
or did you forget?’ He said: ‘It has not been shortened
and I did not
forget.’ He said: ‘But you prayed two Rak’ah.’ He
said: ‘Is what Dhul-
Yadain says true?’ They said: ‘Yes.’ So
he went forward and performed
two Rak’ah and said the Salam, then
he prostrated twice, and then he
said the Salam again.”
One who says the Salam after two or three Rak’ah by mistake
It was
narrated that ‘Imran bin Husain said: “The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said the Salam after three Rak’ah for ‘Asr, then he stood
up and
went into the apartment. Khirbaq, a man with big hands, stood
up and
called out: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Has the prayer been
shortened?’ He
came out angrily, dragging his lower garment, and
asked about it, and
was told (what had happened). So he performed the
Rak’ah that he had
omitted, then he said the Salam, then he
prostrated twice and said the
Salam again.”
Concerning the two prostration of forgetfulness before the Salam
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The
Satan
comes to any one of you while he is praying and comes between
him and
his soul, until he does not know whether he as added something
or
omitted something. If that happens, then he should prostrate twice
before the Salam, then he should say the Salam.”
