Chapter on Rulings on Forgetfulness (Sahw) in Prayer and What Requires Repeating of Prayer
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ وَ أَبِي اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا لَمْ تَدْرِ ثَلاَثاً صَلَّيْتَ أَوْ أَرْبَعاً وَ وَقَعَ رَأْيُكَ عَلَى اَلثَّلاَثِ فَابْنِ عَلَى اَلثَّلاَثِ وَإِنْ وَقَعَ رَأْيُكَ عَلَى اَلْأَرْبَعِ فَسَلِّمْ وَاِنْصَرِفْ وَإِنِ اِعْتَدَلَ وَهْمُكَ فَانْصَرِفْ وَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ أَنْتَ جَالِسٌ»
Muhammad bin Ya‘qub, from Muhammad bin Yahya, from Ahmad bin Muhammad, from al-Husayn bin Sa‘id, from Fadalah bin Ayyub, from Aban, from Abd al-Rahman bin Sayabah and Abu al-‘Abbas:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: "If you do not know whether you have prayed three rak‘ahs or four, and your inclination falls upon three, then build upon three. And if your inclination falls upon four, then give the taslim and depart. But if your doubt is balanced (with no inclination toward either), then depart and pray two rak‘ahs while sitting."
