It shows the rakats prayed on near the place of the sajdah, so the one praying can see the number of rakats he has prayed. But according to hanafi fiqh reading and understanding such as from a piece of paper during salaah is makruh? I heard in a lecture that Aisha radiAllahu anha would switch her ring from finger to finger to keep the rakaats in record. And also the qawl of Ibrahim an Nakhai that there is no harm in doing so. True?

Rabbana wa laka l-h'amd, h'amdan kathiran tayyiban mubaarakan fih
