Chapter on Rulings on Forgetfulness (Sahw) in Prayer and What Requires Repeating of Prayer

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِنِ اِسْتَوَى وَهْمُهُ فِي اَلثَّلاَثِ وَ اَلْأَرْبَعِ سَلَّمَ وَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ أَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ بِفَاتِحَةِ اَلْكِتَابِ وَ هُوَ جَالِسٌ يُقَصِّرُ فِي اَلتَّشَهُّدِ»
And from him, from Fadalah, from al-Husayn bin Abi al-‘Ala’: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: "If his doubt is equal between three and four, then he should give the taslim and pray two rak‘ahs and four prostrations, reciting the Opening of the Book (Surah al-Fatiha) in them, while he is seated, shortening the tashahhud."
