Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 1032
This hadith is another version of the report about prayer confusion. Its added phrase says that the person should perform two prostrations before giving the salutation, then give the salutation. For readers asking whether sajdah sahw is before salam in this narration, the answer from this text is direct. It gives a short order: two prostrations first, then salutation. The report does not list every prayer mistake, so the explanation should not stretch beyond the wording. Its value is in the simple detail it adds to the wider topic of sujood as-sahw. It keeps the worshipper focused on a taught correction when confusion enters the prayer.
What we learn from this hadith
- This version places the two prostrations before the salutation.
- The salutation is given after the two prostrations.
- The wording adds order and timing to the prayer correction.
