1222. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "When the Adhān for the Ṣalāt (prayer) is pronounced, then Satan takes to his heels passing wind so that he may not hear the Adhān and when the Mu'adh-dhīn finishes (the Adhān); he comes back; and when the Iqāma is pronounced he again takes to his heels. And when it is finished, he again comes back and continues reminding the person offering Ṣalāt (prayer) of things that he used not to remember when not in Ṣalāt (prayer), till he forgets how many Rak'ā he has offered." Abū Salama bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān said, "If anyone of you encounters such a thing (forgetting the number of Rak'ā he has offered), he should perform two prostrations (of Sahw i.e. forgetfulness) while sitting." Abū Salama narrates this on the authority of Abū Hurairah.

1222 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا أُذِّنَ بِالصَّلاَةِ أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَهُ ضُرَاطٌ حَتَّى لاَ يَسْمَعَ التَّأْذِينَ، فَإِذَا سَكَتَ المُؤَذِّنُ أَقْبَلَ، فَإِذَا ثُوِّبَ أَدْبَرَ، فَإِذَا سَكَتَ أَقْبَلَ، فَلاَ يَزَالُ، بِالْمَرْءِ يَقُولُ لَهُ: اذْكُرْ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ حَتَّى لاَ يَدْرِيَ كَمْ صَلَّى " قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: «إِذَا فَعَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَلِكَ، فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ»، وَسَمِعَهُ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
