The first point regarding these reports is that they do not contradict the reports we presented earlier, because those are far more numerous than these, and it is not permissible to abandon the more numerous in favor of the fewer without a proof. Even if these reports were contradictory and equal in number, they still would not invalidate what we have previously presented, because none of these reports states that the doubt occurred in the first or second rak‘ah of the obligatory prayers or the recommended prayers. And since this is not stated in the reports, we interpret them as referring to the recommended prayers, because according to our view, there is no (legal) forgetfulness in the recommended prayers. A person may build upon the lesser if he wishes, or upon the greater if he wishes, though building upon the lesser is preferable. And if we interpret these reports as we have mentioned, then we have reconciled all of them together and have not discarded any of them. The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, said: "Whoever is forgetful in the obligatory (prayer of) Fajr or Maghrib must repeat (the prayer)." This is supported by what was narrated:
