these two Sujood of Sahw along with the single Rak’at [i.e. the fifth one] will turn it into a separate set of two Rak’aat of Nafl Salah. And if he has actually offered four Rak’aat, these Sujood will humiliate and disgrace Satan as it was he who had tried to make Salah invalid by causing doubt.
(Fatawa Razawiyyah – referenced, vol. 1, pp. 762)
After a saint finished Salah, Satan came to him and said, ‘You have not offered this Salah properly; therefore, repeat it.’ The saint replied, ‘I will never repeat it. I have offered Salah as I could have done. If there is some defect in it, I will seek forgiveness from my Lord.’ Satan said, ‘Do not show laziness in Salah which is a great act of worship. It’s not a minor issue. Repeat your Salah.’ The saint said, ‘Whatever was predestined has happened. I will never ever repeat this Salah.’ Satan continued to argue, ‘I am advising you for your own betterment. I am your well-wisher. You have a high rank in the court of Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) and Salah is a great act of worship. A pious bondman like you should not get so stubborn.’
Frustrating Satan, the saint said, ‘No matter whatever happens, I will not repeat this Salah. As for my high rank in the Divine court, I am pleased with a low rank in His court.’ Satan said, ‘Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) does not accept such a Salah.’ The saint said, ‘My Lord عَزَّوَجَلَّ is very Gracious. By His grace, He عَزَّوَجَلَّ will accept this defective act of mine. I have done what I could have done.
