Subject: Re: sijdah sahaw,prostrations of forgetfulness" Author: moustafa morsy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:13:28 09/27/02 Fri Author Host/IP: mt.24.171.69.29.charter-stl.com/24.171.69.29 In reply to: sister 's message, "sijdah sahaw" on 13:31:52 09/26/02 Thu The "prostrations of forgetfulness" (sujjud us-sahu) are two prostrations which a person makes before or after the taslim in any kind of prayer ( fard or nafl). The "sujjud us-sahu" are to be performed in the following circumstances: -1- If a person makes the taslim before he actually completes the prayers. -2- In the case of an addition to the prayer. -3- In the case of forgetting the first tashahud or one of the other sunnah acts of the prayer. Ibn Buhainah narrates that the Prophet stood after two rak'at. The people tried to correct him but he continued. When he finished his salah, he made two sujjud and made the taslim. This is related by the group. This is supported by what Ahmad, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah recorded from al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah, that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: "If one of you stands after two rak'at and he has not completely stood, then he should sit. If he is already completely standing, he should not sit and he should make two sujjud of forgetfulness." -4- In the case of doubt over whether or not one performed some act of the prayer. 'Abdurrahman ibn 'Auf reported that he heard the Prophet say: "If one of you has some doubt during his salah and he does not know if he prayed one rak'ah or two, he should take it to have been just one. If he does not know if he prayed two rak'at or three, he should take it to have been just two. If he does not know if he prayed three rak'at or four, he should take it to have been just three. [In all such cases] at the end of his prayer, while sitting, he should make two sujjud before the taslim." This is related by Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and at-Tirmizhi. The latter grades it sahih. For your second question, you do not have to do sujood sahaw,in this case. And Allah Knows Best. Moustafa Morsy. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
