Is the prostration of forgetfulness like the regular prostration?
The description of the prostration of forgetfulness is that a person performs two prostrations, with a sitting between them, after completing the prayer. These prostrations are sometimes performed after the salaam and at other times before it. In these two prostrations, one performs what is done in every prostration, such as glorification (tasbeeh), supplication (du'a), magnification (takbeer), and tranquility (طمأنينة).
