1Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “When the ablution of someone among you is broken while praying, he should hold his nose and leave the place.” It is a human nature. One might break gas or bleed. In order not be embarrassed while leaving, he should hold his nose so that people understand his ablution is broken.

2Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “If someone among you prays and his ablution is broken, he should hold his nose with his hand and leave the prayer.” Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam is teaching people Adab for them not to feel embarrassed and for others not to look at them badly. Sometimes people have nose bleeding. Therefore, he ﷺ says to hold their noses and leave to renew ablution.

3Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “Certainly, when someone among is you praying, shaytan comes to him and pulls out hair from his butt. That person thinks his ablution is broken then. But he should not leave his prayer unless he hears some sound or smells some odor.” If someone feels something or has Waswasa, our Holy Prophet ﷺ says not to listen to that Waswasa unless there is some sound or odor. It is possible that there is some movement, and he thinks his ablution is broken. As long as there is no sound or odor, don’t break your prayer. Your ablution is also not broken. There are many people like this. People have a lot of Waswasa. Also, it is not good to break the prayer. There is complication then. And our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam makes everything easy. As long as there is no odor or sound, your prayer is fine.

4Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “When someone among you is praying and feels sleepy, he should lie down until his sleepiness is gone.” When performing night prayers, our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam tells to lie down if someone is too sleepy. “Because someone praying in a sleepy state can make use of it unknowingly and may swear or curse himself when endowment comes from Allah ﷻ.” He may not know what he says while praying in a sleepy mood. Therefore, he should have rest and then pray, says our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.

5Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “When someone among you is in Masjid and feels sleepy, he must stand up from there and sit on another place.” He must pray in Masjid. When he feels sleepy while sitting or waiting for the prayer, he should go to another place to complete his prayer.

6Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “Come to Masjid without wearing a helmet but with a turban wrapped around your head. Because turbans are the crowns of Muslims.” Apart from times of war, there is no need to wear helmets when coming to the Masjid. Our Holy Prophet ﷺ tells to put on a turban instead. He ﷺ says the turban is the crown of Muslims.

7Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “Two-Rakat prayer performed in a turban is better than seventy-Rakat prayed without a turban.” Wearing a turban has great Thawab.

8Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “Nafl or Fard prayer performed in a turban,” it doesn’t matter if the prayer is Nafl or Fard, says our Holy Prophet ﷺ, “equals to twenty-five prayers performed without a turban.” Its virtue is 25 times more than the prayer without a turban. “Jum’ah prayer performed in a turban equals to seventy Jum’ah prayers performed without a turban.” Jum’ah prayer has more Thawab.

9Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “When someone among you is praying, shaytan comes to him and messes with his mind so that he doesn’t know how much he prayed.” When we stand up to pray, shaytan always wants to use a chance to break it. But Shukr to Allah ﷻ, our Holy Prophet ﷺ is giving the solution for that. “If someone among you feels something like this, he should make two Sajdahs before giving Salam and then give Salam.” That is Sajdah s-Sawh. If someone thinks “I don’t know how many Rak’at I made; three or five”, he must make Sajdah s-Sahw while sitting to complete the prayer. And shaytan will have strived in vain.

10-Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “I am a human, a son of Adam. And I forget just like you do.” Prophets also have human nature. They can forget. “If someone among you forgets how many Rakat he prayed, he should make two Sajdahs before giving Salam wherever he is sitting.” He ﷺ tells to make Sajdah s-Sahu.

11-Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “The two Sajdah s-Sahu in a prayer compensates for all the extra and missing Sajdahs.” Whether if you did more, three or five Sajdahs, when you make Sajdah s-Sawh, that prayer is complete. If you don’t make it, your prayer is either broken, or incomplete.

12-Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “There is two Sajdah s-Sahu, Tashahhud and Salam after giving Salam.” When you make Sajdah s-Sahu, you sit and make Tashahhud anyway. You must say Salamu ‘alaykum to the right, make two Sajdahs immediately, sit down and make Tashahhud with Salat and Salam, and Du’a and then give Salam.

13-Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “Every mistake has two Sajdah after giving Salam.” If you forget something in terms of the pillars - It is not required for Nafl prayers. When you forget Fard things, you must make Sajdah for them. It is not necessary for the rest.

14-Qala RasuluLlah salla Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ (peace be upon him ﷺ) says:

Our Holy Prophet ﷺ is saying, “A person who is confused if he prayed three or four Rakat in prayer should complete it to four Rakat as he thinks. Undoubtedly, more is better than less.” If he thinks he didn’t make four Rakat but three, he should complete it to four Rakat and make Sajdah s-Sawh. Then it is better to have made more than less, says our Holy Prophet ﷺ.

Sadaqa RasuluLlah fi ma qal, aw kama qal. The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ says the truth in what he ﷺ said or as he ﷺ said.
