The prostration for forgetfulness
(Sajdah Sahw) is made when there is any delay of
an obligatory act (fardh) or an omission or delay
of a required act (Wajib) in performance of a prayer,
such as forgetting to recite Fatiha in any prayer,
reciting the surah before the Fatiha, forgetting
to recite the supplication of Witnessing (at-Tahiyyatu)
in the first and second sitting etc.
How The Perform A Prostration For Forgetfulness (Sajdah
Sahw)
Recite the Supplication Of Witnessing (at-Tahiyyatu)
in the last sitting at the and of a ritual prayer,
make the salutation first to the right then to
the left and then immediately prostrate with the
utterance of takbir "Allah-u Akbar".
We then make two successive prostrations as we
do in each rakat of a ritual prayer. Afterwards,
we recite the supplications of Witnessing Allahumma
Salli, Allahumma Barik and Rabb'ana, and then
we again make the salutation (Salaam). |
