Cast aside your doubt when praying , Perform two prostrations before giving salutations .

This hadith speaks to the importance of prayer and how to handle any doubts that may arise during prayer. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that if one is unsure about how many rak'ahs they have prayed, they should cast aside their doubt and perform two prostrations before giving salutations. This will ensure that if the person has prayed five rak'ahs, it will make their prayer an even number for them. If the person has only prayed four rak'ahs, then these two extra prostrations will be humiliation for the devil. This hadith teaches us to always strive for certainty in our prayers and not let any doubts linger in our minds as we pray. It also reminds us of the importance of performing extra acts of worship such as prostration which can help ward off evil from ourselves and others around us.
