Sunan Ibn Majah 1217 (Book 5, Hadith 415) #30569
Prostrating Twice Before Saying Salam

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that if a person notices that the Satan has come between them and their soul, they should prostrate twice before saying the Salam.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "The Satan comes between the son of Adam and his soul, and he does not know how many Rak’ah he has prayed. If a person notices that, then let him prostrate twice before he says the Salam".
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَدْخُلُ بَيْنَ ابْنِ آدَمَ وَبَيْنَ نَفْسِهِ فَلاَ يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى فَإِذَا وَجَدَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad taught his followers to be mindful of the presence of Satan in their lives. He warned that if a person notices that the devil has come between them and their soul while they are praying, they should prostrate twice before saying the salam. This is an important reminder for Muslims to stay vigilant against evil influences and to remain focused on prayer. It also serves as a reminder to take extra precautions when engaging in spiritual activities such as prayer or reciting Quran. By prostrating twice before saying salam at the end of prayer, one can ensure that they have not been distracted by any negative influences during their worship.

The hadith also teaches us about self-awareness and mindfulness; it encourages us to be aware of our own thoughts and feelings so we can recognize when something is off or out of place in our spiritual life. This helps us stay connected with Allah and remain focused on His remembrance throughout our day-to-day activities.
