All Praise is for Allaah, the Lord of all creation, and may He extol and
send blessings of peace upon our Prophet Muhammad who delivered the
clear message, and upon his true followers, his Companions, and those
who follow them upon good until the Day of Requital. To proceed:
Then many people are ignorant about many
of the rulings concerning the Sujoodus-Sahw (prostration for
forgetfulness) in the prayer. Some of them leave the Sujoodus-Sahw when
it is obligatory upon them; others perform the prostration in other than
its correct place; some perform it before the salaam (salutation at the
end of the prayer) even in cases when’ it has to be performed after the
salaam; others prostrate after the salaam even when it should be
performed before it. Therefore, it is very important to become aware of
its rulings, especially for the Imaams whom the people follow in their
prayers, and who have therefore taken on the responsibility of following
that, which is correct and prescribed in their prayers, and of leading
the Muslims upon that. So I wished to put before my brothers some of the
rulings in this regard, hoping that Allaah, the Most High, will cause
it to be of benefit to His believing servants.
So I say, whilst seeking the help of Allaah, the Most High, and asking Him to guide us to and grant us what is correct:
The Prostration of Forgetfulness is: two
prostrations that the one praying makes in order to compensate for
mistakes occurring in the prayer due to forgetfulness (sahw).
Its causes are three: having added
something (az- Ziyaadah), having omitted something (an-Naqs) and having
been in a state of doubt (as-Skakk).
