Hadith 1186
People say that I narrate too many narrations of the Prophet; once I met a man (during the lifetime of
the Prophet) and asked him, "Which Sura did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) s recite yesterday in the `Isha' prayer?"
He said, "I do not know." I said, "Did you not attend the prayer?" He said, "Yes, (I did)." I said, "I
know. He recited such and such Sura."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 21, Hadith 27

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When the Adhan for the prayer is pronounced, then Satan takes to his heels
passing wind so that he may not hear the Adhan and when the Mu'adh-dhin finishes, he comes back;
and when the Iqama is pronounced he again takes to his heels and when it is finished, he again comes
back and continues reminding the praying person of things that he used not to remember when not in
prayer till he forgets how much he has prayed." Abu Salama bin `Abdur-Rahman said, "If anyone of
you has such a thing (forgetting the number of rak`at he has prayed) he should perform two
prostrations of Sahu (i.e. forgetfulness) while sitting." Abu Salama narrates this from Abu Huraira. Sahih al-Bukhari Book 21, Hadith 26

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) once led us in a prayer and offered two rak`at and got up (for the third rak`a) without
sitting (after the second rak`a). The people also got up with him, and when he was about to finish his
prayer, we waited for him to finish the prayer with Taslim but he said Takbir before Taslim and
performed two prostrations while sitting and then finished the prayer with Taslim. Sahih al-Bukhari Book 22, Hadith 1
