Sahih al-Bukhari 1231 (Book 22, Hadith 9) #1187
Interference of Satan During Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith explains that when the call for prayer is made, Satan takes to his heels so he cannot hear it and tries to interfere with the person's thoughts during prayer. If one forgets how many rak'at they have prayed, they should perform two prostrations of Sahu while sitting.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "When the call for prayer is made, Satan takes to his heels passing wind so that he may not hear the Adhan and when the call is finished he comes back, and when the Iqama is pronounced, Satan again takes to his heels, and when the Iqama is finished he comes back again and tries to interfere with the person and his thoughts and say, "Remember this and that (which he has not thought of before the prayer)", till the praying person forgets how much he has prayed. If anyone of you does not remember whether he has offered three or four rak'at then he should perform two prostrations of Sahu while sitting.
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الدَّسْتَوَائِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا نُودِيَ بِالصَّلاَةِ أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ وَلَهُ ضُرَاطٌ حَتَّى لاَ يَسْمَعَ الأَذَانَ، فَإِذَا قُضِيَ الأَذَانُ أَقْبَلَ، فَإِذَا ثُوِّبَ بِهَا أَدْبَرَ فَإِذَا قُضِيَ التَّثْوِيبُ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى يَخْطِرَ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَنَفْسِهِ يَقُولُ اذْكُرْ كَذَا وَكَذَا مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ حَتَّى يَظَلَّ الرَّجُلُ إِنْ يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى، فَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْرِ أَحَدُكُمْ كَمْ صَلَّى ثَلاَثًا أَوْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهْوَ جَالِسٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that when a call for prayer is made, Satan takes to his heels so he cannot hear it and tries to interfere with the person's thoughts during prayer. It is important to remember that we must be mindful of our prayers and not let our minds wander or be distracted by anything else. If one forgets how many rak'at they have prayed, they should perform two prostrations of Sahu while sitting in order to make up for any missed prayers. This hadith also serves as a reminder that we must always be aware of the presence of evil forces such as Satan who are constantly trying to lead us astray from doing good deeds and worshipping Allah properly. We must remain vigilant in our faith and strive towards righteousness at all times in order to protect ourselves from these influences.
