Speaking During Salah (Prayer), or Turning Away Before Completion

8ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ إِذَا قُمْتَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِمَا وَلَمْ تَتَشَهَّدْ فِيهِمَا فَذَكَرْتَ ذَلِكَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَرْكَعَ فَاجْلِسْ فَتَشَهَّدْ وَقُمْ فَأَتِمَّ صَلاَتَكَ فَإِنْ أَنْتَ لَمْ تَذْكُرْ حَتَّى تَرْكَعَ فَامْضِ فِي صَلاَتِكَ حَتَّى تَفْرُغَ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَاسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ بَعْدَ التَّسْلِيمِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ.
8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام has stated this Hadith. He (the Imam) has said, ‘You may stand up in the two Rak‘at of al-Dhuhr or others without saying Tashahhud (testimonies of belief) and remember it in the third Rak‘at before Ruku‘ (bowing down on one’s knees), you must sit down, then say Tashahhud (testimonies of belief), then stand up and complete your Salah (prayer). In case, if you do not remember until Ruku‘, then continue your Salah (prayer) until the end. When you complete it, then perform two Sajdah (prostration) because of mistake after Salam (the phrase of offering greeting of peace) and before speaking.’”
