Chapter on Rulings on Forgetfulness (Sahw) in Prayer and What Requires Repeating of Prayer
وَ رَوَى سَعْدٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنِ اَلْحَارِثِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ اَلنَّصْرِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّا صَلَّيْنَا اَلْمَغْرِبَ فَسَهَا اَلْإِمَامُ فَسَلَّمَ فِي اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَأَعَدْنَا اَلصَّلاَةَ فَقَالَ« وَ لِمَ أَعَدْتُمْ أَ لَيْسَ قَدِ اِنْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَأَتَمَّ بِرَكْعَتَيْنِ أَلاَّ أَتْمَمْتُمْ»
And Sa‘d narrated from Muhammad bin al-Husayn, from Ja‘far bin Bashir, from al-Harith bin al-Mughirah al-Nasri, who said:
I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “We prayed Maghrib, and the imam (of prayer) was forgetful and performed the taslim after two rak‘ahs, so we repeated the prayer.” Imam عليه السلام said: "And why did you repeat it? Did not the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) once leave the prayer after two rak‘ahs and then complete it with two more (rak’ahs)? Should you not have completed it?"
