حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ يُصَلِّي جَاءَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَبَسَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى لَا يَدْرِيَ كَمْ صَلَّى، فَإِذَا وَجَدَ ذَلِكَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “When anyone of you stands for the prayers, Satan comes and puts him in doubts till he forgets how many rakat he has prayed. So if this happens to anyone of you, he should perform two prostrations of Sahu while sitting.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমাদের কেউ সালাতে দাঁড়ালে শয়তান এসে তাকে সন্দেহে ফেলে, এমনকি সে বুঝতে পারে না যে, সে কত রাক‘আত সালাত আদায় করেছে। তোমাদের কারো এ অবস্থা হলে সে যেন বসা অবস্থায় দু’টি সিজদা্ করে। (৬০৮)

ہم سے عبداللہ بن یوسف تنیسی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم کو امام مالک رحمہ اللہ نے خبر دی، انہیں ابن شہاب نے، انہیں ابوسلمہ بن عبدالرحمٰن نے اور انہیں ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ تم میں سے جب کوئی نماز پڑھنے کے لیے کھڑا ہوتا ہے تو شیطان آ کر اس کی نماز میں شبہ پیدا کر دیتا ہے پھر اسے یہ بھی یاد نہیں رہتا کہ کتنی رکعتیں پڑھیں۔ تم میں سے جب کسی کو ایسا اتفاق ہو تو بیٹھے بیٹھے دو سجدے کر لے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdullah bin Yusuf] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Malik] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari [Abu Salamah bin 'Abdurrahman] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Sesungguhnya bila seseorang dari kalian berdiri mengerjakan shalat, setan akan datang menghampirinya (untuk menggodanya) sehingga tidak menyadari berapa raka'at shalat yang sudah dia laksanakan.

Oleh karena itu bila seorang dari kalian mengalami peristiwa itu hendaklah dia melakukan sujud dua kali dalam posisi duduk

Ebu Hureyre r.a., Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in şöyle söylediğini rivayet etmiştir: "Siz'den biri namaz kılmak için kalktığında şeytan ona gelerek (vesvese vermek suretiyle) onun namazını karıştırır. Öyle ki kaç rekat kıldığını bilemez olur. Sîz'den biri bu durumla karşılaşırsa oturduğu zaman İki secde yapsın

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) saw mucus on the wall of the mosque toward the prayer direction. This was difficult for him to bear and he got noticeably upset. So he stood up and scraped the mucus off with his noble hand. In doing so, he was teaching his community to be humble toward Allah and to respect His house. The Prophet noted that when someone stands to pray, he communicates with Allah, mentions His name, and recites His revelation.

So the appropriate thing to do is to be humble and to fully concentrate. Also, one has to remember the greatness of Allah and avoid inappropriate manners, including spitting in the direction of the prayer. If one needs to do so, he may spit in a handkerchief or so. In the prayer, one should feel that he is meeting Allah, the Most High, so one has to turn to Allah with complete devotion.

Even though Allah is in the heavens above His throne, He is in front of the person praying, because He encompasses everything: {There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing} [Sūrat Ash-Shūra: 11]. This does not mean that Allah mixes with people or that He is in the place where one prays. Allah is close to those who pray to Him and those who supplicate to Him.

His nearness befits His majesty; no human assimilation is at all contemplated. To make this point relevant, the sun is above us, but is also in front of us when it rises and when it sets.
