Prostration of mistakes (Sajda-e-Sahu)
In case of mistakes
in prayer either regarding the number of rak’ats prayed by the
worshipper or regarding the verses read, rectification is by prostration.
If the Imam commits such mistakes, the whole congregation shall make
similar prostration. Whosoever forgets one Wajeb in prayer, the prostration
is wajeb. (See appendix.) If a man is just near the middle position
between sitting and standing when he is in doubt, he should sit. And
if above that, he should stand. In case of sitting, no prostration is
necessary if the “Rak’ats” prayed, then the “Rak’ats”
shall be increased till he thinks that he has prayed more than what
is required.
