Reciting Qunut in the Zuhr (noon) and other prayers

 356. Abu Hurairah said: ´´By Allah, I will perform for you prayer similar to the prayer of the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam,´´ and Abu Hurairah recited Qunut in the Zuhr and ´Isha´ and in the morning prayer and supplicated for the believers and cursed the infidels.

Reciting Qunut (invocation) in the Fajr prayer

 355. Abu Hurirah narrated that whenever the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam raised his head from Ruku and pronounced Allahu Akbar (for bowing) (saying): ´´Sami´ hamd (Allah listened to him who praised Him. Our Rubb! to You is all praise),´´ he would then stand up and say: ´´O Allah! rescue Al-Walid bin Al-Walid, Salamah bin Hisham, and ´Aiyash bin Abu Rabi´ah, and the weak and helpless among the believers. O Allah! make it severe for the tribe of Mudar and let them suffer a famine like that which took place at the time of Yusuf. O Allah! curse Lihyan, Ri´l, Dhakwan, ´Usaiyah, who disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.´´ (The narrator then added): Then news reached us that he abandoned (this) when this Verse was revealed: ´´(Not for you O Muhammad sallahu alayhi wa sallam) is the decision whether He (Allah) turns to them (mercifully) or punishes them; surely they are wrongdoers.´´ (3:128)

Forgetfulness in prayer and the command to prostrate in the prayer

 351. Abu Sa´id Al-Khudri narrated that the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam said: ´´When one of you is in doubt about his Salat (prayer) and he does not know how many he has prayed, three or four (Rak´at), he should cast aside his doubt and base his prayer on what he is sure of; then perform two prostrations before Taslim (salutations). If he has prayed five Rak´at, they will make his prayer an even number for him, and if he has prayed exactly four, the two prostrations will be humiliation for the devil. 352. Abu Hurairah narrated: The Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam led us in one of the two evening prayers- Zuhr or ´Ars, and said Taslim (salutations) after two ak´ah, then he went to a piece of trunk, which was placed in the Qiblah in the mosque.
