Sunan Ibn Majah 1219 (Book 5, Hadith 417) #30571
Seeking Forgiveness Through Prostration

SUMMARY: Prostrating twice after making a mistake is a way to seek forgiveness from Allah.

It was narrated that Thawban said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'For every mistake there are two prostrations, after saying the Salam.’"
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ الْعَنْسِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ فِي كُلِّ سَهْوٍ سَجْدَتَانِ بَعْدَ مَا يُسَلِّمُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Seek repentance sincerely when you make mistakes

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that when we make mistakes, we should seek forgiveness from Allah by prostrating twice. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that this is an effective way to repent and ask for Allah's mercy. It is important to remember that no matter how big or small the mistake may be, it is always important to ask for forgiveness and repent sincerely. We should also remember that even if we make the same mistake multiple times, it does not mean that our repentance will not be accepted; rather, it means that we must continue seeking repentance until our hearts are content with the sincerity of our actions. Additionally, this hadith reminds us of the importance of humility in seeking forgiveness from Allah; by prostrating twice after making a mistake, we are humbling ourselves before Him and acknowledging His greatness and mercy.
