\nNarrated Abu Huraira:\n \n\nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When the Adhan for the prayer is pronounced, then Satan takes to his heels \npassing wind so that he may not hear the Adhan and when the Mu'adh-dhin finishes, he comes back; \nand when the Iqama is pronounced he again takes to his heels and when it is finished, he again comes \nback and continues reminding the praying person of things that he used not to remember when not in \nprayer till he forgets how much he has prayed." Abu Salama bin `Abdur-Rahman said, "If anyone of \nyou has such a thing (forgetting the number of rak`at he has prayed) he should perform two \nprostrations of Sahu (i.e. forgetfulness) while sitting." Abu Salama narrates this from Abu Huraira.\n

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏\n"‏ إِذَا أُذِّنَ بِالصَّلاَةِ أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَهُ ضُرَاطٌ حَتَّى لاَ يَسْمَعَ التَّأْذِينَ، فَإِذَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ أَقْبَلَ، فَإِذَا ثُوِّبَ أَدْبَرَ فَإِذَا سَكَتَ أَقْبَلَ، فَلاَ يَزَالُ بِالْمَرْءِ يَقُولُ لَهُ اذْكُرْ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ حَتَّى لاَ يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِذَا فَعَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ‏.‏ وَسَمِعَهُ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه‏.‏
