1216. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The Satan comes to any one of you while he is praying and comes between him and his soul, until he does not know whether he has added something or omitted something. If that happens, then he should prostrate twice before he says the Salâm, then he should say the Salâm." (Hasan)
1216 - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بَكِيرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْتِي أَحَدَكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ، فَيَدْخُلُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ نَفْسِهِ حَتَّى لَا يَدْرِيَ زَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ، فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ، فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ، ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمْ»

a. Prayer is the most important act of devotion and a means of linking man to God. Satan will, therefore, do his best to keep man from reaping its benefits. b. It so happens sometimes, that man's thoughts go astray during prayer and, as a result, he is not able to keep count of his Rak'ah. In a situation like this, when he finds himself completely lost, he should perform the remedial prostrations of forgetfulness.
