ok Jazak Allah. so the difference in these two methods of sahw before taslim is the saying salam to the right before final tashahud. i just have two more questions: -on what criterea do you decide when to do sahw before taslim and when to do after taslim? - the book you mentioned, describes a rather strange way of doing sahw after taslim of two rakah prayer. is this authentic?ive never seen a hadith describing it
