Sahih al-Bukhari 3150 (Book 59, Hadith 94)
with noise, When the call for the prayer is finished, he comes back. And when the Iqama is
pronounced, he again takes to his heels, and after its completion, he returns again to interfere between
the (praying) person and his heart, saying to him. ‘Remember this or that thing.’ till the person forgets
whether he has offered three or four rak`at: so if one forgets whether he has prayed three or four rak`at,
he should perform two prostrations of Sahu (i.e. forgetfulness).
“ إِذَا نُودِيَ بِالصَّلاَةِ أَدْبَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ وَلَهُ ضُرَاطٌ، فَإِذَا قُضِيَ أَقْبَلَ، فَإِذَا ثُوِّبَ بِهَا أَدْبَرَ، فَإِذَا قُضِيَ أَقْبَلَ، حَتَّى يَخْطِرَ بَيْنَ الإِنْسَانِ وَقَلْبِهِ، فَيَقُولُ اذْكُرْ كَذَا وَكَذَا. حَتَّى لاَ يَدْرِي أَثَلاَثًا صَلَّى أَمْ أَرْبَعًا فَإِذَا لَمْ يَدْرِ ثَلاَثًا صَلَّى أَوْ أَرْبَعًا سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَىِ السَّهْوِ ”.
