Abu Hurairah narrated: “Allah’s Messenger (S) ordered killing the two black things in Salat; the snake and the scorpion.”

Abdullah bin Buhainah Al-Asdi the ally of Banu Abdul-Muttalib narrated: “The Prophet (S) stood for the Zuhr prayer, and he had a sitting to perform, so when he completed his Salat, he performed two prostrations, saying the Takbir for each prostration. So he was sitting before saying the Salam, and the people prostrated with him in place of the sitting he forgot.”

There is a narrated with another chain that Abu Hurairah and [‘Abdullah bin] As-Sa’id Al-Qari’ would perform the prostrations of As-Sahw before the Taslim. Abu ‘Eisa said: The Hadith of Ibn Buhainah is a Hasan [Sahih] Hadith, and this is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge. It is the opinion of Ash-Shafi’i, he held the view that all prostrations for As-Sahw were to be performed before the Salam, saying: “This one abrogates the other Ahadith” and he mentioned that the last action of the Prophet (ﷺ) was according to this. Ahmad and Ishaq said: “When a man stands up after two Rak’ah, then he performs the prostrations for As-Sahw before the Salam according to the Hadith of Ibn Buhainah.” ‘Abdullah bin Buhainah is ‘Abdullah bin Malik [so he is] Ibn Buhainah (because) Malik is his father and Buhainah is his mother. I was informed of this by Ishaq bin Mansur from ‘Ali [bin ‘Abdullah] bin Al-Madini. Abu ‘Eisa said: The people of knowledge differ over when a man is to perform the prostrations of As-Sahw, is it before the Salam or after it. Some of them thought that her performs them after the Salam. This is the view of Sufyan Ath-Thawri and the people of Al-Kufah. Some of them said he performs them before the Salam. This is the view of most of the Fuqaha among the people of Al-Madinah, like Yahya bin Sa’eed, Rabi’ah, and others. This is also the saying of Ash-Shafi’i. Some of them said when he adds to the Salat, then it is after the Salam, and when he leaves something out, then before the Salam. This is the view of Malik bin Anas. Ahmad said: “Whatever is reported from the Prophet (ﷺ) about the prostrations from As-Sahw then it is acted upon in either case.” He saw that when one stands after Rak’ah then according to the Hadith of Ibn Buhainah, he is to perform the prostrations before the Salam. When he prays five for Zuhr, then performs the prostrations after the Salam, and if he says Salam after two Rak’ahs of Zuhr or ‘Asr then he performs the prostrations after the Salam. All of them are to be acted upon depending upon the case, and in the cases where nothing is reported from the Prophet (ﷺ), then two prostrations are performed for As-Sahw before the Salam. Ishaq said the same as Ahmad about all of this, with the exception that he said that for every case of As-Sahw that is not mentioned from the Prophet (ﷺ), then if it is an addition to the Salat, then prostrations are performed after the Salam, and if it is something that was left out, then the prostrations are performed before the Salam.

Abdullah bin Masud narrated: “The Prophet (S) prayed five (Rakah) for Zuhr, so it was said to him: ‘Has the prayer been added to, or have you merely forgotten?’ So he (S) performed two prostrations after he had said the Salam.”

Abdullah (bin Masud) narrated: “The Prophet (S) performed two prostrations for As-Sahw after talking.”

Abu Hurairah narrated: “The Prophet (S) performed two prostrations after the Salam.”

Abu Al-Muhallab narrated from Imran bin Husain that : the Prophet (S) led them in Salat he forgot (something) so he performed two prostrations, then the Tashah-hud, then the Salam.

Umm Salamah narrated: “The Prophet (S) saw a boy of ours – called Aflah – blowing when he prostrated. So he said: ‘O Aflah! Put your face in the dirt.’”

Iyad bin Hilal said: “I said to Abu Sa’eed: ‘One of us performs Salat and we do not know how (much) we prayed.’ So he said: ‘Allah’s Messenger (S) said: “When one of you performs Salat and he does now know how (much) he prayed then let him perform two prostrations while he is sitting.”

(Another chain) in which Abu Hamzah narrated: “A boy of ours named Rabah.”
