حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الدَّسْتَوَائِيُّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا نُودِيَ بِالصَّلَاةِ أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ وَلَهُ ضُرَاطٌ حَتَّى لَا يَسْمَعَ الأَذَانَ، فَإِذَا قُضِيَ الأَذَانُ أَقْبَلَ، فَإِذَا ثُوِّبَ بِهَا أَدْبَرَ فَإِذَا قُضِيَ التَّثْوِيبُ أَقْبَلَ حَتَّى يَخْطِرَ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَنَفْسِهِ يَقُولُ اذْكُرْ كَذَا وَكَذَا مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَذْكُرُ حَتَّى يَظَلَّ الرَّجُلُ إِنْ يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى، فَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْرِ أَحَدُكُمْ كَمْ صَلَّى ثَلَاثًا أَوْ أَرْبَعًا فَلْيَسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَهْوَ جَالِسٌ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “When the call for prayer is made, Satan takes to his heels passing wind so that he may not hear the Adhan and when the call is finished he comes back, and when the Iqama is pronounced, Satan again takes to his heels, and when the Iqama is finished he comes back again and tries to interfere with the person and his thoughts and say, ‘Remember this and that (which he has not thought of before the prayer)’, till the praying person forgets how much he has prayed.

If anyone of you does not remember whether he has offered three or four rakat then he should perform two prostrations of Sahu while sitting.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ যখন সালাতের জন্য আযান দেয়া হয়, তখন শয়তান পিঠ ফিরিয়ে পালায় যাতে আযান শুনতে না পায় আর তার পশ্চাদ-বায়ু সশব্দে নির্গত হতে থাকে। আযান শেষ হয়ে গেলে সে এগিয়ে আসে। আবার সালাতের জন্য ইক্বামাত(ইকামত/একামত) দেওয়া হলে সে পিঠ ফিরিয়ে পালায়।

ইক্বামাত(ইকামত/একামত) শেষ হয়ে গেলে আবার ফিরে আসে। এমনকি সে সালাত আদায়রত ব্যক্তির মনে ওয়াস্ওয়াসা সৃষ্টি করে এবং বলতে থাকে, অমুক অমুক বিষয় স্মরণ কর, যা তার স্মরণে ছিল না। এভাবে সে ব্যক্তি কত রাক‘আত সালাত আদায় করেছে তা স্মরণ করতে পারে না। তাই, তোমাদের কেউ তিন রাক‘আত বা চার রাক‘আত সালাত আদায় করেছে, তা মনে রাখতে না পারলে বসা অবস্থায় দু’টি সিজদা্ করবে। (৬০৮; মুসলিম ৪/৮, হাঃ ৩৮৯, আহমাদ ৯৯৩৮)

ہم سے معاذ بن فضالہ نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے ہشام بن ابی عبداللہ دستوائی نے بیان کیا، ان سے یحییٰ بن ابی کثیر نے، ان سے ابوسلمہ نے اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ جب نماز کے لیے اذان ہوتی ہے تو شیطان ہوا خارج کرتا ہوا بھاگتا ہے تاکہ اذان نہ سنے، جب اذان پوری ہو جاتی ہے تو پھر آ جاتا ہے۔

جب اقامت ہوتی ہے تو پھر بھاگ پڑتا ہے۔ لیکن اقامت ختم ہوتے ہی پھر آ جاتا ہے اور نمازی کے دل میں طرح طرح کے وسوسے ڈالتا ہے اور کہتا ہے کہ فلاں فلاں بات یاد کرو، اس طرح اسے وہ باتیں یاد دلاتا ہے جو اس کے ذہن میں نہیں تھیں۔ لیکن دوسری طرف نمازی کو یہ بھی یاد نہیں رہتا کہ کتنی رکعتیں اس نے پڑھی ہیں۔

اس لیے اگر کسی کو یہ یاد نہ رہے کہ تین رکعت پڑھیں یا چار تو بیٹھے ہی بیٹھے سہو کے دو سجدے کر لے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Mu'adz bin Fadhalah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hisyam bin Abu 'Abdullah ad-Dastawaniy] dari [Yahya bin Abu Katsir] dari [Abu Salamah] dari [Abu Hurairah radliallahu 'anhu] berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Jika panggilan shalat (adzan) dikumandangkan, setan lari sambil mengeluarkan kentut hingga ia tidak mendengar suara adzan tersebut.

Apabila panggilan adzan telah selesai maka setan kembali. Dan bila iqamat dikumandangkan setan kembali berlari dan jika iqamat telah selesai dia kembali lagi hingga untuk mengganggu hatinya seseorang seraya berkata; ingatlah ini dan itu, yang semestinya tidak diingat sehingga seseorang membayanngkannya hingga akhirnya orang itu tidak tahu berapa raka'at shalat yang sudah dia laksanakan.

Oleh karena itu bila seorang dari kalian tidak mengetahui berapa raka'at dari shalat yang sudah dikerjakannya, apakah tiga atau empat raka'at maka hendaklah dia melakukan sujud dua kali dalam posisi duduk

Ebu Hureyre r.a. Resûlullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'den şunu rivayet etmiştir: "Namaz için ezan okunduğunda şeytan ezan sesini işitmemek için sesli sesli yellenerek arkasını dönüp gider. Ezan bittiğinde geri gelir. Kamet getirildiğinde yine dönüp gider. Kamet bittiğinde gelir. Namaz kılan kişinin zihnini (aslında aklında olmayan şeyleri ona hatırlatarak) 'şunu hatırla, şunu da hatırla’ diyerek meşgul eder.

Öyle ki kişi kaç rekat kıldığını bilemez olur. Sizden biri kaç rekat kıldığını -üç mü dört mü kıldığını- bilemezse oturduğu yerde iki secde yapsın." باب: السهو في الفرض والتطوع. 7. Farz Ve Nafile Namazda Yanılmak -وسجد ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما سجدتين بعد وتره. İbn Abbas, vitir namazının sonunda iki secde yaptı

What it means

When the Muezzin (person who makes the call to prayer) announces the Adhān, the devil runs away from the place where the call to prayer is being made so as not to hear it.

"And breaks wind with noise": The apparent meaning is that the devil intentionally lets out this noise, which is passing gas, to avoid listening to the sound of the Muezzin, or as a way of belittling the Adhān as foolish people do. It is also possible that he experiences extreme fear when he hears the call to prayer and, because of his fear, he makes that sound.

Another possibility is that he intentionally does this to do the opposite of what is appropriate for prayer, which is the state of purification, by causing "Hadath" (a state of ritual impurity). When the Adhān is finished, he returns. When the Iqāmah is announced, he turns his back, and after it is finished, he returns to distract the attention of the worshiper.

The devil first ran away when he heard the call to prayer to avoid listening to the declaration of Oneness of Allah and the other statements of the Adhān which are part of declaring creed and establishing the rituals of Islam. He dislikes to hear Dhikr. This is what is meant by the verse: {from the evil of Al-Waswās al-Khannās (the whisperer who withdraws)} [Sūrat An-Nās: 4].

Al-Khannās means the one who withdraws and disappears when Allah's name is mentioned. Then he comes back to distract the worshiper from focusing on his prayer by saying to him: "Remember this, remember that," which are things that were not on his mind before he started praying. He continues to do that throughout the prayer, until the person loses his concentration on prayer and becomes confused regarding how much of the prayer he has already performed.

The devil comes during the prayer, though there is recitation of the Qur'an in it, because the majority of recitation in prayer is done silently, so the devil tries to find his way to corrupt it and destroy the worshiper's focus and humility in it. One opinion held that the reason the devil flees when the call to prayer is announced is to avoid the obligation of bearing witness in favor of the son of Adam on the Day of Judgment, as stated in the Hadīth reported by Abu Sa‘īd.
