977 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا الزُّهْرِيُّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْتِي أَحَدَكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ، فَيُلْبِسُ عَلَيْهِ صَلَاتَهُ حَتَّي لَا يَدْرِيَ كَمْ صَلَّي، فَإِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَلِكَ، فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ»
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Satan comes to a person during his prayer and makes his prayer doubtful for him, to the extent that the person does not know how much he has prayed. So when someone faces such a situation, he should perform the prostration of forgetfulness (sajdah sahw) at the time when he is sitting."
