Hadith 211
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ
زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ
عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
" إِذَا شَكَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ ، فَلَمْ يَدْرِ كَمْ صَلَّى أَثَلَاثًا أَمْ أَرْبَعًا ، فَلْيُصَلِّي رَكْعَةً وَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ قَبْلَ التَّسْلِيمِ ، فَإِنْ كَانَتِ الرَّكْعَةُ الَّتِي صَلَّى خَامِسَةً شَفَعَهَا بِهَاتَيْنِ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ رَابِعَةً فَالسَّجْدَتَانِ تَرْغِيمٌ لِلشَّيْطَانِ "
It is narrated from Hazrat Ata bin Yasar that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When any of you is in doubt during prayer and does not remember whether he has prayed three rak'ahs or four, then he should pray one more rak'ah and perform two prostrations before the salam. Then, if this rak'ah that he has prayed is actually the fifth, it will become a pair with these prostrations, and if it is the fourth, these prostrations will be a humiliation for Satan."
Hadith 212
It is narrated from Hazrat Salim bin Abdullah that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, used to say that when any one of you has doubt in his prayer, he should consider what he has forgotten, then recite it, and then perform two prostrations of forgetfulness while sitting.
Hadith 213
It is narrated from Hazrat Ata bin Yasar that I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As and Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ahbar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about a person who doubts in his prayer and does not remember whether he has prayed three rak'ahs or four. Both replied that he should pray one more rak'ah and then, while sitting, perform two prostrations of forgetfulness (sujood as-sahw).
Hadith 214
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ
نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ
عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنِ النِّسْيَانِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، قَالَ :
" لِيَتَوَخَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الَّذِي يَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ نَسِيَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيُصَلِّهِ "
It is narrated from Hazrat Nafi that when Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about forgetting in prayer, he said: He should think about what he has forgotten and then recite it.
