Volume 2, Book 22, Number 323:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “When the call for prayer is made, Satan takes to his heels passing wind so
that he may not hear the Adhan and when the call is finished he comes back, and when the Iqama is
pronounced, Satan again takes to his heels, and when the Iqama is finished he comes back again and
tries to interfere with the person and his thoughts and say, “Remember this and that (which he has
not thought of before the prayer)”, till the praying person forgets how much he has prayed. If anyone
of you does not remember whether he has offered three or four Rakat then he should perform two
prostrations of Sahu while sitting.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

doubts till he forgets how many Rakat he has prayed. So if this happens to anyone of you, he should
perform two prostrations of Sahu while sitting.

Volume 2, Book 22, Number 314:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
People say that I narrate too many narrations of the Prophet; once I met a man (during the life-
time of the Prophet) and asked him, “Which Sura did Allah’s Apostle s recite yesterday in the ‘Isha’
prayer?” He said, “I do not know.” I said, “Did you not attend the prayer?” He said, “Yes, (I did).” I said,
“I know. He recited such and such Sura.”

Volume 2, Book 22, Number 318:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet led us in the ‘Asr or the Zuhr prayer and finished it with Taslim. Dhul-Yadain said to
him, “O Allah’s Apostle! Has the prayer been reduced?” The Prophet asked his companions in the af –
firmative. So Allah’s Apostle I offered two more Rakat and then performed two prostrations (of Sahu).
Sad said, “I saw that ‘Ursa bin Az-Zubair had offered two Rakat in the Maghrib prayer and finished it
with Taslim. He then talked (and when he was informed about it) he completed the rest of his prayer
and performed two prostrations, and said, ‘The Prophet prayed like this.’ “
