Sunan Ibn Majah 1203 (Book 5, Hadith 401) #30555
Forgetting in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ prayed and forgot to add or omit something, so he was told to perform two prostrations when he was sitting.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah prayed, and he added or omitted something". (One of the narrators) Ibrahim said: "The confusion stems from me (ie, he was not sure which it was)". "It was said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah! Has something been added to the prayer?’ He said: 'I am only human, I forget just as you forget. If anyone forgets, let him perform two prostrations when he is sitting (at the end).’ Then the Prophet turned and prostrated twice".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ فَزَادَ أَوْ نَقَصَ - قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَالْوَهْمُ مِنِّي - فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَزِيدَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ شَىْءٌ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ. أَنْسَى كَمَا تَنْسَوْنَ. فَإِذَا نَسِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that even the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is human and can forget things. When this happened during prayer, he was told to perform two prostrations at the end of his prayer as a way of making up for it. This shows us that Allah is forgiving and merciful towards those who make mistakes in their worship of Him. It also teaches us that we should not be too hard on ourselves if we make mistakes while praying or worshipping Allah; instead, we should seek forgiveness from Him and strive to do better next time.
