Arabic text

1025 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي رِزْمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمَّى سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ: الْمُرْغِمَتَيْنِ "

Commentary

The devil wants to make a worshiper forget how many Rak'āhs he has performed, and thus leave him in an uneasy state of suspense and doubt, but, by performing additional prostrations, the worshiper corrects them and draws nearer to Allāh, thereby humiliating the devil.
