اُردوEn
عَنْ مُرَّةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ (بْنِ عَفَّانَ) رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! إِنِّي صَلَّيْتُ فَلَمْ أَدْرِ أَشَفَعْتُ أَمْ أَوْتَرْتُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِيَّايَ وَأَنْ يَتَلَعَّبَ بِكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ، مَنْ صَلَّى مِنْكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ أَشَفَعَ أَمْ أَوْتَرَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُمَا تَمَامُ صَلَاتِهِ))
Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I performed the prayer but (became forgetful), so now I do not know whether I have prayed an even number of rak‘ahs or an odd number? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I warn myself against this, that Satan should begin to play with you in your prayer. If any one of you performs the prayer and does not know whether he has prayed an even number of rak‘ahs or an odd number, then he should perform two prostrations; through them his prayer will be completed.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … We will understand this hadith in the light of other narrations, that in the case of deficiency, the person performing the prayer will first make up for the deficiency, then perform the prostrations (sujood).
