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

وَعَنْهُ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا لَمْ تَدْرِ أَرْبَعاً صَلَّيْتَ أَمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقُمْ وَ اِرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلِّمْ وَ اِرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلِّمْ وَاُسْجُدْ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَ أَنْتَ جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ تُسَلِّمُ بَعْدَهُمَا»
And from him, from Hammad, from Shu‘ayb, from Abu Basir: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: "If you do not know whether you prayed four rak‘ahs or two, then stand and perform two rak‘ahs, then give the taslim. Then perform two more rak‘ahs, then give the taslim, and then perform two prostrations (sajdatayn) while sitting, and then give the taslim after them."
