Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer and took off his sandals during the prayer, and the people also took off their sandals. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished, he asked: "Why did you take off your sandals?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, we saw you take off your sandals, so we took ours off too." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril came to me and informed me that there was filth on them. So when one of you comes to the mosque, let him turn his sandals over and look; if there is filth on them, let him wipe them on the ground and then pray in them." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Be different from the Jews, for they do not pray in their leather socks or their sandals." This hadith has an authentic chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you prays, let him take off his sandals and place them between his feet, or pray in them."

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you breaks his ablution during the prayer, let him place his hand over his nose and then leave."

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you breaks his ablution during the prayer, let him gesture with his hand over his face (holding his nose) and leave." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it because some of the students of Hisham bin Urwah narrated it from him as a statement of the Companion (mawquf).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you prays and does not remember how many rak'ahs he has prayed, three or four, let him pray one more rak'ah, performing its bowing and prostrations well, and then make two prostrations (of forgetfulness)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it with this addition mentioning the rak'ah. It does, however, have a supporting narration, in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you doubts that he has prayed too little, let him keep praying until he doubts that he has prayed too much."

Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Hudayj (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I prayed Maghrib with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) forgot and gave the salam after two rak'ahs, then left. A man said to him: O Messenger of Allah, you forgot and gave the salam after two rak'ahs! So he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Bilal, who called the iqamah, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) completed that one rak'ah. I asked the people about the man who had said: O Messenger of Allah, you forgot. I was asked: Do you know him? I said: No, unless I see him. Then a man passed by me and I said: It is this one. They said: This is Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him). Al-Layth bin Sa'd narrated it in abridged form from Yazid bin Abi Habib:

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Hudayj (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer one day, gave the salam and left while one rak'ah of the prayer still remained. This hadith has an authentic chain and is on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim). It is of the kind in which a corroborating narrator for the Companion is sought, although they have both already recorded others like it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) named the two prostrations of forgetfulness 'al-murghimatayn' (the two that humiliate Satan). This hadith has an authentic chain and all of its narrators are trustworthy; Abu Mujahid Abdullah bin Kaysan is among the trustworthy narrators of Marw.

Sayyiduna Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that he passed by Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) while he was praying, and he had tied the braids of his hair at the nape of his neck. Abu Rafi' undid them. Al-Hasan looked at him in anger, so he said: Turn your attention to your prayer and do not be angry, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "That is the seat of Satan (that is, Satan sits there)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, and the two Shaykhs used all of its narrators as evidence except Imran. Ali bin al-Madini said of Imran bin Musa: he is Imran bin Musa bin Amr bin Sa'id bin al-As al-Qurashi, the brother of Ayyub bin Musa, and Ibn Jurayj and Ibn Ulayyah narrated from him.
