The questioner : What does the prostrator for forgetfulness say in his prostration? Does he say, "Glory be to my Lord, the Most High," or does he say, "Glory be to the One who does not forget and does not err"? And what does he say between the two prostrations? Knowing that the prostration for forgetfulness was prescribed for an addition, a subtraction, or doubt in the prayer?
The Shaykh : He says in the prostration for forgetfulness what he says in the prostration of the prayer, due to the generality of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding His saying:[Al-A'la 87:1] He said: So he says what he says in the prostration of the prayer.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Likewise, in the sitting between the two prostrations, he says what he says in the sitting between the two prostrations in the body of the prayer.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And it is not befitting for him to say: "Glory be to the One who does not forget, glory be to the One who does not err," or "Our Lord, do not hold us accountable if we forget or err," because this has not been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
