The Rules of Forgetfulness (Sahw) in Prayer

وَقَالَ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِذَا كَثُرَ عَلَيْكَ اَلسَّهْوُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَامْضِ عَلَى صَلاَتِكَ وَ لاَ تُعِدْ.
Imam al-Ridha عليه السلام said: "If you experience frequent distraction (waswasah) during your prayer, continue with your prayer and do not repeat it."
