Narrated Al-Mughirah ibn Shubah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: When an imam stands up at the end of two rak'ahs, if he remembers before standing straight up, he should sit down, but if he stands straight up, he must not sit down, but perform the two prostrations of forgetfulness. Abu Dawud said: I have not narrated in this book of mine any hadith from Jabir Al-Ju'fi (one of the narrators) except this one.

Narrated Al-Mughirah ibn Shubah: Ziyad ibn Ilaqah said: Al-Mughirah ibn Shubah led us in prayer and he stood up at the end of two rak'ahs. We said: Glory be to Allah; he also said: Glory be to Allah, and he proceeded. When he finished the prayer and gave the salutation, he made two prostrations of forgetfulness. When he turned (to us) he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم doing so as I did. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Abi Laila narrated this tradition in a similar manner from al-Shaibi from al-Mughirah bin Shubah. Abu 'Umais narrated it from Thabit bin Ubaid saying: "Al-Mughirah bin Shubah led us in prayer, like the tradition reported by Ziyad bin 'Illaqah. Abu Dawud said: Abu 'Umais is the brother of al-Masudi. And Saad bin Abi Waqqas did the same as done by al-Mughirah, Imran bin Husain, Dahhak bin Qais and Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan. Ibn Abbas and Umar bin Abd al-Aziz issued legel verdict to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: This applies to a person who stands up at the end of two rak'ahs and males prostration after giving the salutation.

Narrated Thawban: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: For each forgetfulness there are two prostrations after giving the salutation. No one except Amr (ibn Uthman) mentioned the words "from his father" (in the chain Abdur Rahman ibn Jubayr ibn Nufayr from Thawban).
