The reason behind the prostration of forgetfulness and for that matter unintentional excess and deficiencies (in the number of any essential pillar of the prayer) or misplaced utterance, standing and sitting is that [[Devil (Islam)|Iblis]] distracts our attention and creates disorder in prayer.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.al-islam.org/a-commentary-on-prayer-muhsin-qaraati/10.htm#_ftnref341|title=Bowing Down {ruku‘} and Prostration {sujud}|publisher=

[[Ali|Hadrat ‘Ali]] said: “The external appearance {zahir} of the sujud is the placing of the forehead on the ground with sincerity and humility, but its esoteric essence {batin} is the detachment of the heart from all perishable things, attachment of the heart to the eternal abode, and relief from pride, fanaticism and all worldly attachments.
