Chapter on Rulings on Forgetfulness (Sahw) in Prayer and What Requires Repeating of Prayer
فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُكَيْمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَالِحٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَشُكُّ فَلاَ يَدْرِي وَاحِدَةً صَلَّى أَوِ اِثْنَتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثاً أَوْ أَرْبَعاً تَلْتَبِسُ عَلَيْهِ صَلاَتُهُ قَالَ« كُلُّ ذَا» قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ« فَلْيَمْضِ فِي صَلاَتِهِ وَ يَتَعَوَّذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ اَلشَّيْطَانِ فَإِنَّهُ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ عَنْهُ»
As for what was narrated by Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Yahya, from Mu‘awiyah bin Hakim, from Abdillah bin al-Mughirah, from Ali bin Abi Hamzah, from a righteous man, peace be upon him, who said:
I asked Him عليه السلام about a man who doubts and does not know whether he has prayed one, two, three, or four rak‘ahs, his prayer becomes confused for him. Imam عليه السلام said: "All of that?" I said: "Yes." Imam عليه السلام said: "Then let him continue in his prayer and seek refuge with Allah سبحانه وتعالى from Shaytan, for soon it will leave him."
