Sujudus Sahwi means the prostration of forgetfulness. It refers to two prostrations performed in Salat (prayer) to correct mistakes made during the prayer due to forgetfulness or error.
When to Observe Sujudus Sahwi:
Sujudus Sahwi is observed in the following situations:
- If one adds something extra to the prayer, like an extra Raka’ah (unit) or an extra prostration.
- If one omits an essential part of the prayer, such as forgetting a prostration or a Tashahhud.
- If one doubts the number of Raka’at performed (e.g., whether it was three or four).

Arabic Text:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا (1)
وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا (2)
وَقَالَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا لَهَا (3)
يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا (4)
بِأَنَّ رَبَّكَ أَوْحَىٰ لَهَا (5)
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصْدُرُ النَّاسُ أَشْتَاتًا لِّيُرَوْا أَعْمَالَهُمْ (6)
فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ (7)
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ (8)
English Translation:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
1. When the earth is shaken with its [final] earthquake
2. And the earth discharges its burdens
3. And man says, “What is [wrong] with it?”
4. That Day, it will report its news
5. Because your Lord has inspired it.
6. That Day, the people will depart separated [into categories] to be shown [the result of] their deeds.
