Chapter on Rulings on Forgetfulness (Sahw) in Prayer and What Requires Repeating of Prayer
فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ لاَ يَدْرِي كَمْ صَلَّى وَاحِدَةً أَوِ اِثْنَتَيْنِ أَمْ ثَلاَثاً قَالَ« يَبْنِي عَلَى اَلْجَزْمِ وَ يَسْجُدُ سَجْدَتَيِ اَلسَّهْوِ وَ يَتَشَهَّدُ خَفِيفاً»
As for what was narrated by Ahmad bin Muhammad, from al-Hasan bin Ali bin Yaqtin, from his brother al-Husayn bin Ali, from their father Ali bin Yaqtin, who said: I asked Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a man who does not know how many rak‘ahs he has prayed, one, or two, or three. Imam عليه السلام said: “He should build upon what he is certain of, and perform the two prostrations of forgetfulness (sajdatay al-sahw), and recite a light tashahhud."
