Sunan an-Nasai 1260 (Book 13, Hadith 82) #15868
Prostration for Forgotten Prayers

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Mu'awiyah's prayer and how he prostrated twice when he forgot something in his prayer, as instructed by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

It was narrated from Muhammad bin Yusuf, the freed slave of Uthman, from his father Yusuf, that: Mu'awiyah prayed in front of them, and he stood up during the prayer when he should have sat. The people said tasbih, but he remained standing, then he prostrated twice while he was sitting, after he completed the prayer. Then he sat on the Minbar and said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Whoever forgets something in his prayer, let him prostrate twice like this'.
أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ اللَّيْثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، يُوسُفَ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ، صَلَّى إِمَامَهُمْ فَقَامَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ وَعَلَيْهِ جُلُوسٌ فَسَبَّحَ النَّاسُ فَتَمَّ عَلَى قِيَامِهِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَتَمَّ الصَّلاَةَ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَنْ نَسِيَ شَيْئًا مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ فَلْيَسْجُدْ مِثْلَ هَاتَيْنِ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of prayer and how to act if one forgets something during their prayer. Mu'awiyah was praying in front of a group of people when he stood up during a part of the prayer where he should have been sitting. The people said tasbih but he remained standing. He then prostrated twice while sitting after completing his prayer. After this, Mu'awiyah sat on the Minbar and said that he heard Prophet Muhammad say that whoever forgets something in their prayers should prostrate twice like this. This hadith teaches us that we must be mindful during our prayers and if we forget something we should make two prostrations afterwards to make up for it. It also shows us the importance of following instructions given by Prophet Muhammad as they are beneficial for us even after his death.
