The Place of the Prostration for Forgetfulness

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner says: Abu Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated in his Sunan a hadith that says
For each forgetfulness there are two prostrations after giving the salutationلكل سهو سجدتان بعدما يسلم
Sunan Abi Dawud 1038Hasan (Al-Albani)
, and some scholars have graded it as good. What is your explanation of this?

Answer : Our explanation of this hadith is that the phrase "after he has said the closing salam" is understood to apply to cases where the cause was an addition or a doubt that was resolved in favor of one side.
