English translation

1029. (It was reported) from Yahyā bin Kathīr that he narrated from 'Iyāḏ, (and it was reported) from Yahyā from Hilāl bin 'Iyāḏ - from Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If one of you prays, and is unsure whether he has prayed more or less, let him prostrate twice while he is sitting. And if the Shaitān comes to him, and says: 'You have nullified (your ablution),' then say: 'You have lied!' Unless he detects some odor with his nose, or some sound with his ears." (Ḥasan) Abū Dāwūd said: Ma'mar and 'Alī bin Al-Mubārak said: " 'Iyāḏ bin Hilāl." Al-Awzā'ī said: " 'Iyāḏ bin Abī Zuhair."

1029 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيَاضٌ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرِ زَادَ أَمْ نَقَصَ، فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ، فَإِذَا أَتَاهُ الشَّيْطَانُ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّكَ قَدْ أَحْدَثْتَ، فَلْيَقُلْ: كَذَبْتَ، إِلَّا مَا وَجَدَ رِيحًا بِأَنْفِهِ، أَوْ صَوْتًا بِأُذُنِهِ "، وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبَانَ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وقَالَ مَعْمَرٌ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ: عِيَاضُ بْنُ هِلَالٍ، وقَالَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ: عِيَاضُ بْنُ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ

Commentary

The devil's mission it is to harass and torment humans. A worshiper should, therefore, think and try to drive away doubt, misgiving and delusion, become sure and certain, and then act accordingly.
